FAQ
-
Can I use pork spare ribs instead of baby back ribs?
Yes! Spare ribs are a bit meatier and take an extra 30-45 minutes in the oven. -
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it in the fridge for up to a week and reheat before using. -
Can I cook ribs in an Instant Pot?
Yes! Cook ribs on high pressure for 25 minutes, then broil or grill for a crispy finish. -
How do I know when my ribs are done?
The meat should be tender and slightly pull away from the bones. A fork should slide in easily! -
