This recipe will not only be a HIT, but will have everyone THINKING that you're a GREAT Cook!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this recipe several years ago when Paula Deen wasn't so popular...I've made it (upon request of my family) for nearly... every Thanksgiving and Christmas since! Since I am the kind who always takes the LONG way in life (...and because this is such a simple recipe), I've never really written the recipe down and before making it I have to search the net to "confirm" the directions... It's USUALLY a sort-of hard task, using "Paula Deen" or "Prime Rib" in my search until I find this simple..almost magical recipe... Well THIS year, I can tell that Paula Deen's popularity has risen quite a bit because not only did I find the recipe at the top of my first search, but I was finally able to print it as a cool little recipe card thanks to the Food Network site! This recipe IS just like magic...you literally coat the meat, put it in the oven, follow the few simple instructions on when to turn the oven off and then back on again - and it's like a four-star restaurant snuck their very best prime rib in place of yours! Enjoy...and get ready to be called upon to make this ALOT!! Cristina Tampa, FLRead more

Dont be afraid to do this recipe and I use a roaster oven
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I at first had my doubts and the first time I used this recipe I was cooking a 9lb prime rib roast.A $120.00 piece of meat... from Whole Foods and It came out beautiful. I have used this recipe everytime and now that I dont have to worry if its going to be cooked right we have more "Rib Roasts" In fact I am cooking one right now. Since I have used this recipes many times I can now judge if I want it a little rarer or more well done depending on who is here for dinner. I use the last 40 min. to adjust the rare to well . Not the first hour. And by the way, I use a roaster oven for this, the only thing I do different is I cover the small vent holes in the lid, dont know if it really makes a difference but I do it anyway. Be sure you preheat your oven to the 375 before you place the meat in it. Read more

Delicious but need help
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I use many of your recipes but had a problem with this one. I have an electric overn. Is this recipe for a gas oven?? If... so, is there a way to adapt the recipe for an electric oven. The House Seasoning is great!! I mixed it with olive oil to grill vegetables...........delicious!! Thanks in advance. I look forward to an answer. Connie LuzziRead more

Fantastic Roast
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never cooked a standing rib before and, like others, was a little nervous about this recipe. I had a 10 lb. roast. ... The butcher removed the ribs, but tied them back on for roasting. I cooked mine 65 minutes the first time and reheated it for 25. It was rare in the middle, but I sliced it and returned it to the broiler for a few minutes to cook a little more. It was delicious!!! Leftovers-great!! The only probkem I had was it splattered my oven so badly that when I opened the oven smoke came pouring out and filled the kitchen. I had reviewed all of the comments before and no one mentioned covering the roast or having this problem. I don't think I will do it again without a cover of foil. Thank goodness for a self cleaning oven. Let me know if you had this problem.Read more
