Standing Rib Roast
I have a receipe for a 5 lb. standing rib roast but it's 10 lbs. How much do I have the change the cooking time to accomodate the bigger piece of meat?
Best Answer
Any time indicated in a recipe you are following should be used only as a general guideline. Cooking to temperature is much more accurate.
There are more variables than just weight (such as surface area) but I would use something like 1.5 times the cooking time as an estimate.
Sink a meat thermometer in that bad boy and pull him out of the heat before you reach your target doneness.
I would allow at least five degrees (probably more) for carryover cooking during the resting period.

Is there a difference between prime rib and standing rib roast?
At the store, \u201cPrime Rib Roast\u201d can go by different names including Rib Roast, or Standing Rib Roast (because it is positioned standing on the rib bones as it roasts). It can be found in the meat case with both boneless and bone-in options.Is there a difference between rib roast and ribeye roast?
Since prime ribs and ribeye steaks come from the same primal cut of beef, the difference in their flavors comes from the way they are cooked. Prime ribs are seared and then roasted slowly under low heat, making them more tender, while ribeyes are grilled quickly over high heat, making them more charred.How long do you cook a standing rib roast for?
Brown the roast at 500\xb0F (or as high as your oven will go) for 15 minutes. Lower the oven to 325\xb0F to finish roasting: Reduce the oven temperature to 325\xb0F. To figure out the total cooking time, allow about 11 to 12 minutes per pound for rare and 13 to 15 minutes per pound for medium rare.Is a standing rib roast a good cut of meat?
Hands down, my favorite cut of meat to cook for the holidays is a rib roast. Prime rib, rib roast, boneless rib roast, etc, regardless of what you call it it is the same cut of beef. You invested a lot of money on a great cut of beef and want to impress your guests.The Guide to Cooking A Perfect Standing Rib Roast

The problem is -- it's actually an issue with surface to mass ratios, so when you have something that's twice the weight, if it's proportionally scaled, it's only the cube root of the original in terms of depth to the center of the meat. The result is that doubling can result in drying out the exterior before the center is done to your liking. For a rib roast it might just have more ribs, and so not be completely proportional.
You also have other issues that affect the time-to-cook: * What temperature it was at before it went into the oven -- how cold is your fridge? Did you give it an hour or so rest at room temperature before it went into the oven? * What degree of done-ness are you aiming for?
I'd recommend starting the roast earlier in the day, so that you can cook it to a given internal temperature, and then hold it in a warm oven.
To prevent drying out, you may need to tent it with foil while it's baking (which will reduce browning and/or flavor), add other moisture to the oven (but beware of basting, as opening the oven often causes more drying than the basting helps), or lowering the oven temperature slightly (which then causes it to take even more time).
If it were me ... I'd plan for:
- a worst case scenario of it taking 2x as long as called for
- roast it at 25°F / 10°C less than the recipe calls for UNLESS the recipe calls for starting it at once temp, then lowering the oven to a second temp (or visa-versa)
- roast it on a bed of onions and other root vegetables, to both add moisture to the oven and prevent the drippings from evaporating too quickly.
- trying to pull it from the oven about an hour before you planned to carve it, to allow it to rest.
If you don't have a probe thermometer or a leave-in meat thermometer that you can see through your oven's window, I'd hold off on taking the temperature until the normal recipe's cooking time has elapsed, and estimate when to next take the temperature from there (and possibly how to adjust the oven temperature to try to better hit your goal serving time).
