COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS, ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER
Since I have gotten my electric pressure cooker, I precook my ribs in this, instead of the oven. The ribs turn out excellent and do not dry out, if you want to hold them for a while. They are fall off the bone goodness.

Steps:
- 1. Season your ribs as to your taste. Pressure cooking will intensify the flavors so you do not need to put as much on. I use mesquite seasoning and a little barbecue sauce.
- 2. Add 2 cups of water to bottom of pan and set your steaming basket in next. Lay your seasoned ribs on in a basket that fits your pan for your pressure cooker. Try to have the fat side up if possible and single layered. I have a stainless steel strainer for my steaming basket.
- 3. Close your lid, latch and set the timer for 60 minutes..These country style ribs are thick and meaty so these ribs need a little more time.
- 4. When the timer goes off, your dinner is almost ready. If you want to wait a while for dinner, the electric pressure cooker will hold your ribs until you are ready. If you want to start eating: Release the pressure as directed and add more barbecue sauce before setting on the table. They are just wonderful.
- 5. If you want to you can brown and caramelize the sauce under the broiler or on the barbecue. Your choice. I usually serve with french bread (toasted with garlic) and homemade potato salad.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs, with good marbling for flavor and tenderness.
- Proper Seasoning: Generously season the ribs with a flavorful rub made from spices, herbs, and salt. Allow the rub to penetrate the meat for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Browning the Ribs: Before pressure cooking, brown the ribs in a pan or grill to enhance their flavor and color. This step adds a delicious caramelized crust.
- Use a Quality Pressure Cooker: Choose a pressure cooker that is large enough to accommodate the ribs and liquid. Make sure the cooker is in good working condition and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking time may vary depending on the type and thickness of the ribs, as well as the desired tenderness. Start with the recommended cooking time and adjust if needed.
- Natural Pressure Release: After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10-15 minutes before opening the cooker. This helps prevent the ribs from becoming tough.
Conclusion:
Pressure cooking pork ribs is an efficient and convenient method that delivers tender, flavorful results.
