ST LOUIS STYLE RIBS Pressure Cooker PERFECTLY COOKED NINJA FOODI Instant Pot Fall Off Da Bone TENDER

[@7heRedBaron]

I know I’m turning back time commenting on this one. I can hear Cher singing in the back of my mind. But I had a chance to pick up ribs on a discount last week. I hadn’t prepared them before. So on my first try I bagged them up and started them in a crockpot for 14 hours. Then just before eating them I brushed them with sauce and 10 minutes in the Foodi on Air Crisp. And they were awesome. So this week I found more on sale again. But at 11 AM today I realized I would be eating tonight’s dinner tomorrow if I started them right away. So I came across this video. Thanks to daylight savings time I got an extra hour. After following your instructions perfectly, I had these today, not for midnight dinner but for lunch. They are awesome. Even better than the 14 hour method. And who wouldn’t like to have 12 hours of their life back? Thanks Jelly!

[@JohnSanders]

That is excellent!!! Glad to hear I helped and thank you for sharing that story!!!

[@ilonacampbell-mihai8076]

Where did you get that rack!

[@SRSRATL]

4lbs St Louis, 18 min pressure on high with apple cider vinegar and Dr pepper. 12 minute release. Got rid of the liquid and added sauce right to the basket. Air crisp for 12 minutes. Perfect my first time. Your videos are great and inspiring and you keep it easy. Don't stop!

[@JohnSanders]

Thank you and very good to hear that!!!

Ninja needs to sponsor this man ASAP

I could get behind that!!! LOL... I'm not sure they know ole jelly exist!!! But... thank you for watching!!!

[@melaneymattson3733]

John, I just tried these St. Louis ribs in my Instant Pot at 20 mins with a 15 min natural release and they are the best ribs I have ever had. I broiled/air fried them off in my Air Fryer w/sauce for about 6 min per side and they were PERFECT!!!!! Thank you so much, Melaney from SoCal PS: St. Louis ribs are so much meatier and more tender than Baby Backs. I'm sure the pressure cooker had a lot to do with that. More pressure cooker recipes, please.

[@queensnonprofit]

Your instructions turned me into a pro. My ribs came out excellent! Thank you and God bless you!

[@JohnSanders]

Sir, I wish I could put photos in here. You convinced me to buy it. Before I had it at home I bought the ribs. First recipe and damn, I think I ate too much. No regrets though. Thank you

[@Scrimpets1]

Jesus Rodriguez I just cooked these myself last night in the Foodi and I was determined to find a way to post a photo. I think I found one and am about to try it out publicly. We’ll see if it works. If you have Google Drive, you upload a photo to it, then copy the link to the photo, and paste the link into the comment. Here goes....

[@daves5445]

John- Like some others, this was one of my first things I made in my Ninja. Your recipe is a home run! Ribs came out great! So tender and the air crisping added just the right doneness to them. I didn't have the rib rack (plan on getting one), but they were great without it. I used Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and the ribs were pre-seasoned (Costco). This is a 5 star recipe, John! Thanks!

[@JohnSanders]

Thank you Dave!! I thought it was excellent too...glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!!!

Done many ribs but wanted to look at foodi videos. Love yours. Have watched many of your videos and used lots of your suggestions! Thanks again!

Just made STL ribs in the Ninja. Followed your recipe to a tee, well sort of. Forgot to drain the brine after pressure cooking. Luckily caught my mistake after 5 minutes of Air Crisping. Added a minute to AC. Ribs a little too fall off the bone but tasty none the less!. Looks like we will be using the NF for future rib dinners! Thanks for your great tips!

I am so thankful I was praying I could get one of these. I found one on Facebook Market Place. Brand new in a Box 6.5 qt. For simply $110. I just unpacked it and I am excited to get this. Now I can enjoy your recipes. If I just use this and I bet I do for 4 months only I will sell my Instant Pot And Rice Cooker and enjoy this.

Oh Thank You so I am excited to have it. Also I will need a Ninja cook book this one Came with a very small one but I really like the way the Directions are so simply laid out. There are many on Amazon but I like the Ease and clarity of their own cook books so can you tell me what book is best?

Hey John. What rack would I use for the 8-qt. SMART XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid and thermometer? I'm looking online and can't find the one you're using. I'm soooo looking forward to trying this recipe. By the way...I really enjoy your channel. You are so down to earth, genuine and good natured. I always feel like I'm listening to a friend. Keep up the good work!

[@JohnSanders]

The one it came with is the only one I have used in the Smartlid... glad to hear you enjoy my videos and thanks for watching!!!

[@thebigk2]

Now I'm gonna have to break down and splurge on that rib rack. lol Thanks for sharing! :)

[@JohnSanders]

It does fit the air frying basket well...and what the heck, I think I've bought all they offer for the Foodi...I guess in all in now LOL, I hope they don't come out with anything else for it.Thanks for watching!

[@thebigk2]

haha! I agree, I'm going broke here. I finally broke down and ordered the baking kit yesterday. Already have everything else but that rib rack. Thought I'd get away without it, but now I need it. lol

[@pduffy421]

12:32 I spy another Foodi Ninja hiding in the background lol. I just recently bought one of these but have yet to use it, still to read the instructions. Great video. Is the slow release you mention simply leaving the Food alone for 15 minutes; before the quick release? Or is there something else to it? Thank you. The Rendezvous sauce and seasoning is expensive to buy from Scotland, where I live.

[@JohnSanders]

Sometimes I let a little out and then wait a few minutes and let a little more but just leaving it alone until the pin drops will work too... Any sauce you like will work also... Thanks for watching and I would love to visit!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@JRMoritz]

This is my first meal in the new Ninja Foodi. My mouth is watering watching your video. I do have a rib rack but I think it will be ok. I was going to throw them on the grill to brown but I gotta try the air crisp feature instead.

[@JohnSanders]

I think you will be very impressed...they are truly a very good way to do ribs...especially inside..let us know how they turn out and thanks for watching!

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks and thank you for watching, glad you enjoy them!!

[@Scrimpets1]

After the first 20 minutes of pressure cooking, how did he get it to count back up - I was not at all clear about that. Is it still cooking via pressure, or just waiting another 15 for pressure to release instead of immediately? So it’s 20, 15, then switch to air crisp for another 10? And if so, what is the method for counting up that 15?

[@JohnSanders]

I think i understand but if this isn't what you meant please ask again .. but... after the unit finishes the pressure cooking step it automatically switches to keep warm and starts counting up...i bleed the pressure off and then I end the cook... and remove the lid and set unit up for air crisp... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@Scrimpets1]

John Sanders Thank you for explaining that. I am waiting for my new Ninja Foodi to arrive today, and ribs are the first thing I’m doing (but man I have to check to see if they’re baby back or St. Louis). I noticed at the end of the pressure cooking 20 minutes, it displayed “COOL” (which I took to mean “off”), and didn’t realize that it automatically switches to keep warm and starts counting back up. So I understand now, you just let it count back up another 15 minutes, bleed the pressure off, remove the lid and set it for air crisp, got it! Really enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel. Thanks again.

[@JohnSanders]

Glad to hear that Michael... you'll love that device...it does many things very well... thanks for watching... and subscribing!!!

[@Scrimpets1]

John Sanders Yep, I’ve only owned an air fryer for under a year now and I love that thing but it has its drawbacks and I may end up kicking it to the curb since this Foodi seems so versatile!

[@kimberlycampbell8001]

Hi John! How long would you suggest to pressure cook country style pork ribs? I enjoy your videos, Thanks for sharing!

[@JohnSanders]

Here is a video I did a while back...hope this helps and thanks for watching!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmSTeKuXeNGMg5I

[@cmdrbpsmith]

What size Foodi did you use on this episode? 8 or 6.5 quart? I have the 6.5, and I’m wondering if I should sell/trade up to the 8 quart.

[@JohnSanders]

I think that was the first one I got which was the 6.5 but I usually recommend the 8 quart...thanks for watching!!!

[@joecrowder8893]

John.....great video as always! About how many folks can you serve in one cooking with the 8 qt? I've got 2 adults and 2 small kids (grandkids & great grandkids) visiting my wife and I in about 10 days and I wasn't sure if I could get enough ribs on there or not. What you cooked in this video didn't look like it was near enough for us? Will the rack hold more than what you put on there? Thanks in advance!

[@JohnSanders]

you could probably pressure cook a good many at a time but I would not crowd too much in the air Frying phase... maybe air fry in batches... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@joecrowder8893]

@@JohnSanders I was thinking about maybe pressure cooking them the day before, pressure cook a pot of red beans the morning of, then air frying in batches like you suggested. Mama won't let me have another Foodi yet! lol

[@katg3134]

John I have made this so many times following your method and they come out perfect. I couldn’t get St. Louis style ribs recently and had to get baby back. Would you pressure cook in less time ? I am afraid they will overcook since smaller. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

[@JohnSanders]

I think you should get nearly the same texture using this same recipe...i do have a video on baby backs though...thanks for watching!!!

[@katg3134]

Thanks John! I did watch the bb rib video. You did a quick release for that one but a slow release for the St. Louis. Do you think the slow release is better ?

[@JohnSanders]

Maybe but it depends on how tender... or fall off the bone you like your ribs... the longer they are left under pressure... or before you release pressure... the more tender they will be and quite honestly they are both delicious so I don't think you can go wrong...

[@vegetta65]

Looks delicious! I'm trying this out now, but quick question is your Ninja Foodi model 6.5 Quart or 8 Quart? I have 6.5 Quart model, and I'm unable to stand up the ribs as shown in your video.

What happens if ya dont pull the white skin underneath? It was breaking up on me and was super stuck on?

[@Scrimpets1]

John, this recipe was great! In my case, I think I should have gone a minute or two less on the pressure cooking, as they were falling off the bone so easily once the 15 minute natural release was completed, that I had difficulty holding on to them to remove and sauce before air frying. I did have a power surge a couple of minutes into starting the pressure cook and started over with a full twenty minutes again so that may have had something to do with it. But they still came out delicious! I made your smashed potatoes from your ribeye and smashed potatoes video first and kept them warm. Hopefully this link to this photo will work if you want to see how they looked. 😋 drive.google.com/file/d/1O45jYT-Eer6YHBjnldd3G2LGBUuUNA0g/view?usp=drivesdk
