Ninja Foodi Best Ribs Recipe took some trial and error
So I’ve tried many different approaches for making ribs but I think after many tries I have found the Ninja Foodi best ribs recipe.
First, grab your ribs and remove the membrane from the back. If you don’t do this the ribs will be tough to separate.
Generously cover and rub your ribs, both sides, with Weber’s Brown Sugar Dry rub (or your rub of choice!)
The first step is to pressure cook your ribs to get the ‘fall off the bone’ tenderness.
Put half a cup of Apple Cider and half a cup of water in the bottom of your pot.
Place the ribs on a trivet at the bottom of the pot (to save the bottom of the ribs overcooking and to get even cooking). Secure your pressure cooking lid and make sure your vent is closed on top.
Pressure cook on HIGH for 30 minutes. Once finished let the ribs sit and natural pressure release for 5 minutes before you open the vent and quick release the rest of the pressure.
Pull out the ribs. Be careful now because the meat by now will be fall off the bone tender!!
Cover your ribs in your favorite BBQ sauce, all over!
Empty out your juices in the pot from the pressure cooking and then place the air crisp basket in.
You will probably have to cut your ribs into two or three strips if they have not already started to fall apart!
Select air crisp 390 degrees and time of 8 minutes.
Close the lid and let the Ninja Foodi work it’s magic!
Check every 4 minutes and make sure the ribs are finishing up nicely.
Crisp to your personal taste.
Add some tasty sides, tonight we had Kingsford baked beans with pork and mashed potatoes.
The end result…..
We have raved about the original GrillGrate for the Ninja Foodi before 
The raised ridges leave the perfect sear marks on your food while the juices from the meat fall into the valleys creating the sizzle that helps give your food the perfect grilled flavor.
Hot off the press from one of our Food Family top contributors, a new recipe book for your Ninja Foodi and pressure cooker. Published in recipe card format with tons of color and pictures this book is a great addition to your Ninja recipe book collection!
The GrillGrate is a highly conductive aluminum insert that you put into your Foodi. It is a round disk-shaped slab of metal with high ridges that, when fired up, give your food those lovely sear marks as you cook. The insert can also be flipped so you can use it as a griddle.
You can also use this simple method to test the wellness of your steak – 
I prefer the sear lines and overall flavor of the steaks on the GrillGrate vs. the Ninja Grill. The major niggle with the Ninja Grill for me is the cleanup. I HATE cleaning the grill plate on the grill. The curved fins on the grill make it more difficult to clean AND added to which the grill seems to have issues with the non-stick coating and this seems to scratch off fairly easily, The GrillGrate, on the other hand, is bulletproof. The cast metal and cleans up good as new every time.
