Recipe: Barbecue Spareribs (Presto Pressure Cooker Manual, 2006)

BARBECUE SPARERIBS

3 pounds spareribs, cut into serving pieces
1 cup water
1 cup catsup
1⁄2 cup water
1⁄2 cup vinegar
1⁄4 cup chopped onion
1⁄4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon celery seed

Place ribs and water in cooker. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and cook 5 minutes with pressure regulator rocking slowly. Cool cooker at once (see note*). Drain off liquid.

Mix remaining ingredients; pour over ribs in cooker. Stir to coat ribs. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and cook 10 minutes with pressure regulator rocking slowly. Let pressure drop of its own accord. Remove ribs.

Simmer sauce, uncovered, to desired thickness.

*NOTE:
If the instructions state, "Cool cooker at once," cool the pressure cooker under a running water faucet or pour cold water over it, or place it in a pan of cold water until pressure is completely reduced. Note: Do not set hot cooker in a molded sink as it could damage the sink. Pressure is completely reduced when the air vent/cover lock has dropped. If the air vent/cover lock remains in its raised position, there is still pressure inside the pressure cooker. Continue to cool until the air vent/cover lock drops. After pressure has been completely reduced, remove the pressure regulator. Always remove the pressure regulator before opening the cover.

CAUTION:
FOR MEAT, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2⁄3 FULL! NO PORTION OF THE MEAT SHOULD EXTEND ABOVE THE 2⁄3 FULL MARK. Operating the cooker without cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.
