How long does it take to cook prime rib in the Big Easy?

The Big Easy turkey fryer can be used to cook the prime rib. It does not require oil to cook the prime rib. Follow the steps given below to cook the prime rib.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds of rib roast
  • 1 tbsp ground pepper
  • Sea salt as required

Method

  • Switch on the Big easy oil-less turkey fryer. Spray the Big Easy with oil and allow the oil to smoke by switching the cooker on. After the oil has smoked, switch the burner off.
  • In a bowl, mix salt and pepper. Rub the salt and pepper onto the roast.
  • In the roaster basket, place the beef roast. Place the basket onto the cooking chamber. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the meat. Place it in the thickest part of the beef.
  • Cook the meat till the temperature of the meat reaches 110℉. If you want to cook the beef medium-rare, then cook it till the temperature reaches 115℉. You can cook the meat for 1 to 1 ½ hrs.

The time of cooking would vary based on the season as well as the size of the meat.

  • Remove the roaster basket and place it in a pan. Allow it to cool before proceeding to the next step.
  • In a tray, place the roast. Wrap the roast with aluminum foil and avoid removing the meat thermometer out of the roast. Let the temperature of the roast range between 120 to 125℉ if you wish to cook it rare.

If you wish to cook the roast at medium rare, let it reach the temperature of 130 to 135 ℉. Allow the meat to cool for about 20 mins. Serve.

What are some tips to cook prime rib in the Big Easy?

  • It is essential to keep the meat to rest after roasting it. This is because the meat continues to cook even after it is removed from heat.

If an individual wants a well-done roast, then you can grill it at 500 ℉. While cooling, the internal temperature should be around 160 to 170 ℉.

  • If you love your prime rib to be crispy, you can place a wire mesh initially for 10-15 minutes of cooking or at the end of the cooking period for 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour oil over the wire mesh to reduce the meat from sticking to the wireframe.
  • If the rib roast has a layer of fat on it, you can refrain from removing it because it provides flavor to the meat.  If you do not want to consume excess fat, you can remove it.
  • Season the rib before placing them in the Big Easy. This is because seasoning them while cooking can make them stickier and stick to the fryer. You can also inject the meat with the marinade.
  • If you have placed the rib in the freezer, it is essential to thaw it properly before cooking it in the fryer. You can thaw the turkey in the refrigerator or place them in a microwave.
  • Preheat the Big Easy before using it. You can do this by turning the knob of the burner to the left, towards the flame icon. Swiftly turn the rotary ignitor knob.

If the burner did not turn on, switch it off and wait for 5-10 minutes before switching it on again.

  • Wait for the flame to light up the burner before placing the roast in the burner. Placing the rib on the burner before the flame has fully lit up can increase the time required for the burner to heat up.
  • If the ambient temperature is below 30℉, it would take a longer time to cook the rib.
  • It is essential to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the meat. This is because undercooked meat can promote food poisoning.

Using a meat thermometer helps you to determine whether your meat is cooked and also helps save your time in the kitchen.
