Interesting Method for Prime Rib

[Murdy]

I worked in a butcher shop in the 1980s and 90s. We handed out a recipe card with a similar method. I definitely agree that there are better ways to do it, but, for not-so-good cooks or those lacking confidence/experience, it'll work ok. We got plenty of good feedback from our customers. BTW, my aunt cooked in a north Wisconsin supper club, and, IIRC, they did something similar as well.

My mother used a similar method when I was growing up and it was excellent. The outside develops a delicious crust. If I were to use this method I would definitely employ an internal meat thermometer. I'd say don't knock it till you try it.

My late mother used this approach. FOr years I thought the outside was supposed to be dark and have it grade towards rare in the center. No chance will I use this approach.
