These Keto Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs are tender, fall off the bone, saucy and lip-smacking good, low carb, bone-in, pork ribs that you can easily make with your Instant Pot.

I used a rack of pork ribs because they fit nicely into the Instant pot without cutting them apart. Beef ribs were definitely too big to fit in my 6 quart Instant Pot.
