How to make Instant Pot Country-Style Pork Ribs:

Pour the water on top, but don’t mix it in with the other ingredients.
Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL (PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 25 minutes.
When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (this will take about 20 minutes).
Remove the lid and serve.
