Detailed Steps for Making Fall-Apart Instant Pot Ribs Recipe

Sprinkle the rib rack with pork rib seasoning on the top side and press into the pork.
Put the rib rack into the pot on top of the trivet by bending the rack into a U-shape.
Cook on the Pressure Cook setting (or Manual depending on your model), for 25 minutes.
Do a quick release of the pressure and wait to open the lid once all of the pressure is released and the pin drops.
Remove the ribs carefully from the instant pot and place on a baking sheet. Optional is to cover the baking sheet with foil.
