Critical Success Points

  • • Wash and clean ribs thoroughly to remove odors.
  • • Remove membrane from ribs for tenderness and flavor absorption.
  • • Marinate ribs for at least 20 minutes (preferably 1 hour).
  • • Do not overcook in pressure cooker; 10 minutes after pressure is enough.
  • • Reduce sauce carefully to avoid burning; glaze ribs evenly.

Safety Warnings

  • • Use caution when releasing pressure from the cooker; keep hands and face away from steam.
  • • Handle hot pans and liquids carefully to avoid burns.
  • • Wash hands and utensils after handling raw pork.
