Remove any silver skin from the ribs using a paper towel.

Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.

Rub one tablespoon of seasoning salt and two tablespoons of dry rub evenly over both sides of the ribs.

In a six-quart Instant Pot, add six cups of apple juice, one-fourth cup of apple cider vinegar, and one-third cup of barbecue sauce; stir to combine.

Place the seasoned rack of ribs inside the Instant Pot, wrapping it around the bowl with the bone side facing the center.

Cover and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes, ensuring the steam vent is set to sealing position.

Allow a 10-minute natural pressure release, then switch to the venting position using oven mitts.

Remove the ribs using tongs and let excess liquid drip off.

Transfer the ribs onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack.

Brush the remaining one-third cup of barbecue sauce generously over the ribs.

Broil in the oven for four to five minutes on high heat, or grill for five minutes on a preheated barbecue grill to set the barbecue sauce.

Let the ribs rest for about five to ten minutes before serving.

Brush additional barbecue sauce on the ribs before cutting and serving.
