First Egged Prime Rib

Pigasso

The package arrived from Lobels on time - most of the order was there but a couple of items had been forgotten. Thankfully the prime rib was not one of them! We allowed the roast to come to room temp and coated with Dizzy Pig Cowlick.

Check out the 1999 Deerfield Ranch Zinfandel lurking behind it - 16.5% alcohol! We cooked some asparagus and potatoes earlier in the day which would be reheated and served with the roast. Using the "Mad Max" method, the egg was heated to 500 degrees, the Prime Rib added, and then temp maintained at 325 until the roast registered 125 internal. While resting, the roast rose in temp to a whopping 138! A little past what I would care for. I read an earlier post where the rib was pulled at 120 - I may try that next time. Individual Yorkshire puddings were made while the roast rested.[p]The long and the short of it all - an excellent dinner for my wife and I and Noah's godparents. No food was left - same goes for the Zinfandel![p]Oinks to all - especially Mad Max for all his help!

Pigasso,
Wow - that looks amazing! I know the meat had to be wonderful! How were the potatoes after the reheat?

Pigasso, Very nice report, and feast. It is always nice to have a job well done, and be able to eat it too !!
Congratulations.. [p]Tell me you did use some of the beef fat drippins for the Yourkshire.[p]Ron

HML, I did indeed. I used an inverted plate setter, a 9" rack in the center to create a little space to decrease the direct heat, and a foil pan above the grid and below the roast to catch the drippings!

Eggsellent, Potatoes are MUCH better fresh off the grill!

Car Wash Mike, Indirect it was! Please see post above.

Pigasso,
wow, that looks outstanding. ..way to go!!. ..i have never had one shoot up quite so far on my on resting temps. ..so, you are right, next time pull it a little earlier. ... also, while i use cowlick all the time on steaks, i've never tried it on prime rib (i always do the herb thing) but man, i'll bet it melted in your mouths. . .[p]sounds like you need another egg or two to insure you can do the entire meal on eggs at the same time :-)

Pigasso

mad max beyond eggdome, - you are a wise man indeed! No one can fault you with that argument - maybe for Christmas next year?
