Well... I am the guy who asked about tofu and now i am introducing a thread inclusive of an Instant Pot...Ha ha
I am sure my reputation is forever damaged but i must share my experience. Because of the cold i didn't want to use a 3-2-1 approach with my ribs. So, i did a combo Instant Pot and smoke.
In the Instant pot i used two slabs of baby backs... 4 cups of Apple Juice... A half cup of Apple Cider Vinegar. Before putting in the Pot i used Honey and the Rec Tec Honey Rub and let the ribs sit 8 hours.
Put in pot and cooked for 32 mins on Meat setting... then let steam bleed off fairly naturally.
Then lathered them up with Sweet and Smoky BBQ Sauce and moved them to the Rec Tec.
Had the Rec Tec going at 225 (warm up about 30 minutes). I put them on and let them go for 15 mins and then cranked it up to 500 for 15 more minutes.
Absolutely fabulous flavor. Not as much smoke as normal full smoke but the tenderness on the ribs and then the bark on them was very good. I screwed up with no pics. But, if you have the IP and want to try this... I highly recommend it. Great tenderness, juicy and perfect bark with a hint of smoke.
