central - east central Minnesota - | Biff - 1/11/2014 23:29 I'm having the kids over for supper tomorrow. I have a ten pound prime rib to cook. I've never done the method that calls for 5 min per pound in a 550 deg oven - then turn off the heat and leave it 2 hours. Will it work for that large a roast? I'm thinking it might be too long and the top will start to burn. Or the fat will burn off just as fast as it drips down. I do have a big electric roaster that works pretty good. Should I just play it safe? A lot of recipes call for rosemary leaves on top. Never done that either. Does it make a nice flavour? I think I will mix up some Yorkshire pudding from a mix, fake potatoes and frozen peas. Why fake potatoes ? In our stores, you can get frozen mashed potatoes - quick, easy heat and serve and no work/peeling/mashing for your time constraints . . . . . . Otherwise, peel and cook up 'tators the day before, mash and freeze. Generally, when the wife buys 'tators, we peel and cook the whole bag - portion them out and freeze them. It's very, very handy for quick suppers. Good luck with your meal ! |
