    Dangerous instructions on PBC website concerning Prime Rib?

    Just got an email blast from PBC concerning "Prime Time for a Prime Rib". In the first few steps of instructions I see:
    Directions
    1. Light your Pit Barrel® Cooker (PBC) according to the instructions.
    2. Remove the roast(s) from the package and let rest until room temperature.
    Lord have mercy. That goes against every food safety class ever given. I've seen this all over youtube as well. Seems to me to be a recipe for making people sick. For me meat goes direct from the fridge at 38 degrees to the cooker. Do NOT let meat sit out until it reaches room temp.

      I agree - protein goes from cold to cooker.

        This upset me enough that I sent a direct message to PBC folks. Waiting on their reply.

            lol tdimond. I hope its F. 38°C would be quite hot. (38°C×9/5) + 32 = 100.4°F

            38F, I save a fortune on heating bills, but air conditioning kills me.

          You know how long it takes for something as thick as a rib roast to get to room temp? It’d probably be sitting out for over six hours! Ridiculous

            Pit Barrel Cooker Co. Is on the forums. They're usually pretty good about responding to stuff. Noah's cell phone number is on the side of the PBC as well. I've personally talked to him before about an issue with my PBC. Top Notch customer service IMO.

            Also, if you let it come to room temp AFTER you lit your PBC, you'd be halfway or more through your fire basket before you put it on! LOL

              this is one of those myths that has been around all over the place and now it's become a matter of faith. Everybody repeats because some guy on youtube said it sort of a thing.

                The world is filled with myths. Acceptance is the rule. Reasoning is the exception!

              38 Degrees? I didn't realize you BBQ'd. That's cool! (see what I did there?)

                There’s tons of recipes that tell you to bring the meat to room temp. I’ve always thought it was stupid.

                  May be they only heat their house to 39 degrees

                    Just about every recipe says that and sometimes says for it to be out for about an hour which is no where long enough to come to room temp anyway.

                    but I’m with you. I go from fridge to cooker

                      My sentiments exactly! I emailed them, and also commented on his "resting" instructions. They thanked me and said there are lots of different cooking styles, etc.

                        I wouldn't call it dangerous with beef. Not the safest of things to do, but not really dangerous. Pork & chicken left at room temp, yes, dangerous. Perhaps a better way to word it would be to say "Take the roast out of the fridge for 2 hours before cooking." But "room temp (68-72 degrees)" would take a LONG time, and that's just not playing the smartest.

                          Room temp in Florida is pushing 80. I keep my house around 76 or 77. I often go straight from the fridge. I had the turkey out for just a bit. It went on at about 45 degrees.
