PRESSURE-COOKER WINE-BRAISED BEEF SHANKS
I adapted this from a slow-cooker recipe to one that takes about 2 hours start to finish, using a pressure cooker. Served over egg noodles or rice, it reminds me of Grandma's house. -Helen Nelander, Boulder Creek, California

PRESSURE COOKER SAUCY BABY BACK RIBS - FAST & EASY
These ribs cook up fast and the meat melts in your mouth! I've only used beef ribs, my husband's preference, but you certainly could substitute pork ribs. The nutritional values would change. I adapted this recipe from a favorite slow cooker recipe. These are very saucy ribs, messy and delicious! My husband calls them AWESOME!
