High heat prime rib and baked potatoes?

12 years ago

Trying the high heat method for prime rib tomorrow. Preheat oven to 500, cook roast for 5 minutes per pound (this roast is 2.5 lbs - so for thirteen minutes), turn the oven off and let it sit for two hours. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

Can't have prime rib without baked potatoes - think the potatoes will get done (or over-done) if I put two of them in the oven with the roast?

If it were me I'd throw a couple in tonight
at the same temp and cook for the same
amount of time and see. If not you could always
nuke a couple to go with the prime rib.

ang, like I told you the other time, I cook mine high but different and put in potatoes at the same time. Takes about an hour and a little bit tops and potatoes are great also.

Prime Rib cooking time?

Shaun- Nope, no smoke alarms, I used the LeCreuset grilling skillet and a temp of 500degrees. It splattered for sure, but no big mess. Crashed potatoes are from Pioneer Woman's blog. DH loves them. Here's my rendition: I use a nice fist-sized red potato, nuke it for about 4 minutes, then let it cool for a few minutes. Afterwards take a fork and smash one side of it down with a fork (only on one side, not as much as her photo). Then I drizzle garlic EVOO, sprinkle salt, pepper and rosemary. Rebake for about 10 minutes at a high heat. It makes a soft, potato with flavor and a bit of crunch! Here is a link that might be useful: Pioneer Woman's crash potatoes

I like them any way, whether wrapped or not, greased or not, baked at any temperature, it's all good. Oh, and Renee, at the restaurant we "slammed" them on the counter too. While they were still wrapped in foil, of course, then cut a slit in the foil and "pop" 'em open. Annie

In a rut - leftover prime rib?

If you have leftover bones this is a finger licking good way to use them up. Posted by: Ruthanna (My Page) on Thu, Dec 19, 02 at 11:20 This isn't the answer to your question but be sure to save the bones and the next night, you can have Devilled Beef Bones for dinner. Rub bones with cut garlic cloves, then sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce and rub it in. Spread on both sides with a spicy good-quality prepared mustard. Roll ribs in fine dry bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until crumbs form a crispy coating and meat is warmed through. Serve with plenty of napkins. David

LOOKING for: Leftover Rib Bones From Prime Rib
Q

Been wondering where I got the idea that the short rib was somehow part of the prime rib, and found my answer when speaking to the butcher the other day. I was ordering short ribs for a dinner party I am having on Saturday, and he said he'd take them from the rib instead of the chuck. Hmmm, so I asked him to explain. He said that the prime rib bone extends another 12 inches beyond what we normally see when getting a bone-in roast. At the end of that is where the short ribs are located, and are a little less fatty than thse from the chuck. So, thankfully, I cleared up why I connected prime rib to short ribs. Whew, that feels better now. Sue

I'd strongly recommend that you do a test tonight, with an empty oven. Put your oven thermometer in your oven. Preheat oven to 500 degrees as that recipe says. Open the door as you would to insert the roast. Close the door, after the appropriate time, turn off the oven, and leave the door shut. Then check the oven thermometer after the said 2 hours.

I'd be willing to bet--unless you have a very old oven (they were better insulated than ours today are)--that at the end of that time, the temperature will be below the safe cooking temp for meat. If that's the case, please don't risk your family's health by cooking that way.

I haven't bought an oven in 20 years that would keep meat at a safe temperature for 2 hours after it was turned off. It's just not worth saving a few cents of fuel if you're going to put your family at risk.

An added benefit of testing your oven? You could toss a potato in, just to see how it cooks.
