With an appliance

• Pressure cooker 55 min

  Replace step 2: cook bones and ribs under high pressure for 22 minutes, then let them air dry for 12 minutes; this reduces cooking time to approximately 25 minutes, resulting in tender ribs and a flavorful broth without the need to constantly monitor the pot. The meatballs in step 5 should still be cooked with the lid open for 8 minutes.
