Notes

I use this AIP Classic BBQ Sauce recipe.

There’s a film that’s usually over ribs that can be removed for optimal flavor. However, I rarely do it. I always struggle with the time and dexterity needed to remove it.

Dig out your instant pot rack for this recipe. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can get one here.

You don’t need an actually brush to apply the AIP BBQ sauce. You can just spoon it on and then push it around using the back of the spoon. That’s what I did.
