    I would go with the higher temp ... rib roasts don't gain anything by low-n-slow. Any cookbook will give you time for a roast @ 325º

    some folks do it at 250 and love the results. I haven't tried it yet, although I will one day.

    I usually cook them at 325 as well.
    context is important :)

    Sounds perfect. Reverse sear is my staple for rib roasts. I have much better temp control throughout the meat when going low like you did. Any pics?

    squeezy, going slow on a roast means more even heating throughout.  think of it in the extremes:  if you cooked one at 1200 degrees, the outside would be toast before the middle was up to temp.  and everything between the exterior would be overcooked with a little nugget of perfection in the middle.

    the other extreme is to sousvide at 130 or so for a bajillion hours.  perfectly cooked throughout, with no gradient from grey to rare in the middle. just rare all the way across. but no crust on the exterior

    cooking a roast slowly is one way (there are others) to allow the meat to come up much more evenly to the desired temp across more of the meat than simply a small center portio.  you also still get a nice exterior crust, too.

    anyway.... to the original question, i don't have a "minutes per pound answer", i will just say that a 10 pound rib roast takes no longer than a 5 pounder.  so if you have done a smaller one, allow pretty much the same amount of time

    Just click on the 'insert image' icon ... upper right looks like a monitor ... erase the http start ... copy & paste from source (Photobucket) and 'enter'
