We love this recipe! Is there anything I need to do if I double the ribs? Like for time it will take or liquid?
I have not doubled the recipe so I can’t give you an accurate cook time. Sorry.
I’m a first time nsta pot user. I need alot of help.
This is delicious! Easily, it was the best ribs I’ve ever had. Thanks for the recipe! I used a dark German beer and the beer flavor was more prominent than any other recipe I’ve used in the past. I’m not a beer fan (my husband is!) but it was great and complimented the spice rub you provided.
