    Made this for the first time and it will not be the last time that's for sure. What a hit!! The tenderness of the meat was unbelievable to say the least. I didn't use the planter, just a roasting pan and rack with heavy foil. I was amazed at the dry aging process itself, and the result it gave. I aged my roast for 4 days. I tried the process on a 2-inch thick bone-in rib eye steak with the same result..deliciousness. Will be treating all of my beef this way. Good job Alton!!!

    Fabulous. This single recipe has given me the reputation of being a great cook. It is one of the easiest recipes in my vast collection, and requires very little time for prep or attention as it cooks. I pretend I've put a lot of time into this for a special occasion, so it really accentuates the idea that I have significant skills in the kitchen. I make this when I don't have time to fuss in the kitchen. It turns out perfect every time. I don't ever order prime rib out because I do such a good job at home. The thermometer is the key. I have made this probably 50 times. Yum. (It's good even if you don't age the meat. I buy the whole side at Costco and cut off the piece that won't fit in my big oval Dutch oven pan and freeze the extra. Serves about 20. If there are leftovers, I cut it up and make chili out of it along with leftover pork tenderloin. Double yum. Fantastic recipe...a favorite request for a special meal for birthdays. Easier than going out to dinner!

    I make standing rib roast every Christmas and this year used Alton's excellent advice on dry-aging and it was the best roast yet. Made w/ a garlic/herb paste crust. Thought the azalea pot idea was cumbersome, complicated and completely unnecessary to turn out a great roast.

    Wow, we have tried several prime rib recipes, trying to get it "right" as we all like ours medium rare. Other recipes we have used give us ends that are well done and the middle is the only medium rare part. AB's dry aging takes out that moisture, lets your meat cook evenly, and we had medium rare from one end of our prime rib roast to the other. Excellent recipe. This is how we will ALWAYS do our prime rib from now on. Thank you AB for your detailed instructions and for the explanations of "why" that you share with us so well! No other recipe for prime rib holds a candle!

    A great cut of meat with several ways to roast is right and a lot of ways to do it wrong but to get the greatest taste out of a prime rib roast is this recipe.

    I made this Saturday night for a dinner party. At first, I was not going to use the flower pot, but then went ahead and used it anyway and I am so glad. This is far and away the best standing rib roast of all I've tried from Food Network. I highly recommend you give this a shot.

    I made this last year for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I didn't use the planter, but followed the rest of the directions to the letter. The dry aging step is one you really don't want to skip if you can help it and I didn't have to trim any of it off. The meat was so tender, we really didn't even need steak knives. Even my mother, who doesn't offer praise freely, was impressed and said so. Who needs an old dried up turkey when you can make this delectable creation? FYI, I don't use the pot, just a roaster loosely tented with foil.

    My husband and I made this for Christmas the year before last! We had fun and it turned out good just more dry than I thought it would. It also took longer so we will have to adjust for more time (start earlier in the day. I think my Mother in Law thought we were nutz!! But she said she enjoyed watching us and enjoys telling her friends how we used a "huge flower pot" to cook a roast in! Shopping for a flower pot in December will also get you strange looks...
