- Season the ribs: Rub the ribs with your favorite seasonings or a store-bought rub. Make sure to coat them evenly.
- Sear the ribs (optional): If you want to add some extra flavor, sear the ribs in a hot skillet before pressure cooking them. This will give them a nice caramelized crust.

- Cook the ribs: Set the pressure cooker to the appropriate setting and cook the ribs for the recommended amount of time. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of pressure cooker you have and the thickness of the ribs.
- Let the pressure release: Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Check the ribs: Once the pressure has been released, carefully open the pot and check the ribs. They should be fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the ribs: Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or mashed potatoes.
