Many readers have loved our Pork Back Ribs (Baby Back Ribs) & Pork Spare Ribs Recipes, but have long been asking us for the best way to cooking Country Style Ribs in Instant Pot.
How long to cook country style ribs in instant pot so they come out juicy, tender, flavorful, but NOT dry, mushy, or tasteless?
Here we go with our fun Instant Pot Country Style Ribs experiments! 😀
What are Country Style Ribs?
Country style ribs are pork rib chops from the shoulder end of the loin. They are meatier and cheaper than baby back ribs – perfect for meat lovers. 😉
Sometimes, the cut of country style ribs you buy can have more meat from the loin, while other times you might end up with more meat from the blade (more fat). So cooking country style ribs can be a bit tricky – it's important not to overcook them!
*Pro Tip: As always, try your best to find country style ribs that have nice marbling.
