I was very skeptical about this, but it turned out amazing!!! I used a 6-lb rib roast and did not alter the times at all.

Kathi - I do a standing rib based on a recipe similar to this, except I am always using a 10lb or larger roast. Oven is heated to 500 degrees and done for approximately 5 mins per pound, about 50-60 minutes and then turned off , and let to stand. Mine comes out perfectly every time. Never any leftovers.
