Anyone know how to cook?

I just bought a power cooker & Iv been looking up ways to cook some baby back ribs. I saw a few videos but none answered my question. This recipe says to put 1 cup of water than to add the ribs. But do I put the water than put the rack so the ribs don't touch the water? Or do I really just put the ribs in the water to cook? I always thought u can't boil ribs so I'm very confused please help. I don't know how to cook at all.
