Ok so we had a menu change and are now having prime rib. How many bones for 10 people? Thanks

I would say 5 bones.

I'd buy the biggest one I could find. Can you say sandwiches?

Four is a squeeze, five is plenty.
I prefer to trim heavily, take off the ribs and tie it. I roast the ribs separately and make stock, and use the meat trimmings and rib trimmings for hash with eggs (not a bad way to start the day).(now only 16 stone)

If you have a good source chances are they will separate the bones and then tie them back. Regardless, I remove the bones and cook them separately as a post-roast knawing banquet. Easier to get a more uniform shape to the roast for the cook. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

As Lou said, go with seven, leftovers make great sandwiches.

You need to figure about 10 - 11 ounce per person precook weight. This assumes you will have equal number of king and queen cuts.....on a bone in rib roast. I save the bones for a later meal myself......but sometimes you just have to gnaw. Anyway, you need about a 7 ponder which will likely put you in the five bone area.

Go big and enjoy the leftovers. 7 bones.Morristown TN, LBGE and Mini-Max.

7 bones will feed 18+ people. Assume 3/4# per person, as its bone in and you'll have good leftovers.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

@NibbleMeThis recommends 3/4 lb per person for a bone in roast.

That's a pretty good rule of thumb. I would not decide on the number or ribs but on the weight. When in doubt go on the larger size and take home the leftovers.Dyal_SC said:@NibbleMeThis recommends 3/4 lb per person for a bone in roast.
