Hi jel48 - My name is Alison OBrien and I am producing an upcoming show on the NuWave Oven. I saw your posts - prime rub and potatoes - which looked amazing! I'd love to speak with you about your NuWave experiences. My email is akriegobrien@gmail.com - I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your consideration. Alison

Can't help you with the NuWave, but a Rib Eye Roast is a succulent piece of beef, and you don't want to cook it in an electric roaster or an oven bag. The perfect cut to roast rare to medium rare. You don't want to ruin it by over roasting it. Do you not have a regular oven? There are a number of ways to cook a Prime rib or Rib Eye roast, my favourite is the high heat method. Perfect roast every time. And as a side you can't go wrong with Yorkshire Pudding, mashed or roasted potatoes. Home Cookin 4.9 Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table High Heat cooking Instructions ============================== General Instructions (for Barbara Kafka's "Roasting A Simple Art") "Different meats and different cuts have different cooking times. That's why there are recipes. I did try to find a universal rule so that I could say as I do for fish, "ten minutes per inch" or for chicken "ten minutes per pound," and then describe the exceptions. It didn't work. Timing is as much a factor of fat content, bone content, and the shape of the roast as a specific kind of meat. The only easy rules are for boneless loin of pork or beef (the shell or strip) and venison and beef fillet. They always cook in the same amount of time since the only way they increase in size is according to their length, which will not influence the cooking time." This is her recipe for a Simple Rib Roast 4 1/2 pound without short ribs Standing rib roast (2 Ribs) or 26 Pound standing rib roast (7 ribs total) 2 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered Kosher salt to taste Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups red wine for deglazing 1 recipe for Yorkshire pudding. Roast should be at room temperature, not taken directly from the fridge. Place oven rack on the second level from the bottom. Heat oven to 500F. Place small roast in a 14 X 12 X2 inch roasting pan. bone side down. The large roast will need an 18 X 13 X 2 inch roasting pan. Snuggle most of the garlic, is using, under the fat and spread remainder under the meat. Season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes. With meat in oven, reduce heat to 325° and roast for an additional 3 minutes per pound.( i.e.: 4lb =12minutes, 7lb = 21 minutes, 26 lb =78 minutes) etc..Increase heat to 450°F and roast for another 15 minutes regardless of size. Meat temperature should read 135 on an instant - read thermometer. If you like it more rare, reduce the additional 3 minutes per pound to 2 minutes or for less rare, increase the 3 minutes to 5 minutes. Remove roast from oven. Transfer to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off excess fat, reserving about 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of fat. Put pan over high heat and add wine. Deglaze pan well scraping with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Pour liquid into a small saucepan and reserve. For Whole New York Strip Loin, the directions are a little bit different. According to Barbara Kafka's instructions, it doesn't matter what size the New York strip roast is the directions are the same. Roasted New York Strip Loin one 10 pound New York Strip (16 inches) Trussed 1 head of garlic cloves lightly smashed and peeled, optional 3 to 4 springs fresh thyme kosher salt pepper 1 1/2 cup basic beef stock or a combination of beef stock, veal stock or red wine 2 tablespoons basic veal glaze optional. Place oven rack on second level from the top of the oven, or second from the bottom if the fat cover is thick. Heat oven to 500°F. Place strip of beef in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. If using, slip whole cloves of garlic between underside of meat and string. Tuck in the thyme. Slip some more garlic under the string along the top of the meat. Sprinkle the meat on all sides liberally with salt and pepper. Put into oven one hour before it will be served. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and transfer meat to a platter. Cut off strings. Remove the garlic cloves that are too blackened to use. Pour fat from pan. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove. Add stock or wine and the veal glaze, if using and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Add flavorings, if using, and any juices that have collected in the platter on which the beef is resting. Let reduce by half. Taste for salt and pepper, pour into a sauceboat and serve. Roasted Whole beef Fillet According to Barbara........"I buy the meat by the inch. It cooks exactly the same way no matter the length as long as it s more than 4 inches long. When ordering, I usually allow about an inch and a quarter per person and an extra half inch for the two end slices. By this rule, six people will require an eight inch piece of fillet. The muscles in a fillet all run lengthwise so that when it is sliced a crossed the serving it is also tenderized. The fillet is also called the tenderloin, and it is tender. It is a long round muscle that hides behind the bones on which the shell steak and the rib roast reside. T-bone steaks have some of the shell and, on the other side of the bone, a circle of the fillet, or tenderloin. A filet mignon is a slice cut a crossed the whole filet to make an individual steak. 4 to 5 pound whole beef fillet (about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, a good 18 inches long) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 cup red wine for deglazing, optional, or 1 recipe semi-perigourdine sauce Place oven rack on second level from bottom. heat oven to 500°F Place fillet in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. Rub fillet with butter and oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. roast for 10 minutes. turn. roast 10 minutes more. Transfer fillet to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off excess fat. Put pan on top of the burner. Add the wine or sauce and bring contents to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper.

I don't have one, so I can't say from personal experience, but check out the reviews at Amazon.com - looks pretty favorable. Main complaint I saw was that the dome and base tend to crack. Almost every other review site I googled had glowing reviews, except the one in the link below. Here is a link that might be useful: review

I'm an unapologetic kitchen gadget person and I found mine (3 bottoms and 2 tops) at thrift stores for a fraction of the original price and I love them. I've purchased both bottoms and lids separately and then "married" incomplete sets together. It's fine if you have more bottoms than tops. They do help avoid splatter in the microwave and are easy to clean. They can be put in the dishwasher, but I always wash them by hand. If you have several of them you can make a whole meal for one or two people. They are especially nice in the summer when you want to keep the heat out of the kitchen, or if you need to have something ready for someone who is running late and will need to reheat a meal. They are great for making a quick omelet or poached egg, as well as some of the "in-a-mug" type recipes. There is a small cookbook with a nice mixture of recipes you can make, or adapt to your use. I've found a lot of ways and recipes to use them, and hubby often takes one to work with him to nuke his lunch. CAUTION: The opening on the top will get hot from steam, so use a hot pad/oven mitt to remove it, and the handle can also get very hot. I like to sit the Stone Wave on a small microwave-safe plate to lift it out of the microwave because the plate will not get hot. The crazy little handle can be hard to hold onto with a bulky hot pad/oven mitt. It helps to keep a log of the actual cooking times for things you make because microwaves vary so much.
