- Set pressure cooking program to [Pressure Cook] or [Manual] or [Meat/Stew].
- Adjust Pressure Level to [High] pressure.
- Set pressure cooking time to 23 minutes by pressing the [+] or [-] buttons. When pressure cooking time is finished, allow pressure to naturally release for 10-15 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure by turning the Steam Release Valve to [Venting].
- Set oven to Broil at 500°F. Open lid of pot and remove ribs and place on a broiler pan. Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce. Place ribs under broiler and crisp for 3-5 minutes. Do not take your eyes off the ribs while they are broiling. Remove from heat when sauce is bubbly and slightly crisped. Cut into serving-sized pieces and enjoy!
