That look on his face when he takes a bite. He looks as happy as I do when something I cook comes out right lol. Def going to put my big easy to work this summer.

Love my Big Easy. I saw a guy make Pichana on it the other day.

[@montecook9617]

Love this guy! Look him up every season. He knows his prime rib with the Big Easy. Perfect everytime!

[@Armadillopepper]

Great cooker. Congrats!

[@pawpawstew]

I just did my first turkey on this thing and I'm a big fan now. I've got a standing rib roast in the freezer now and this will be the way I cook it.

[@antmon123]

trying this tonight - thanks much 😊

[@Armadillopepper]

Hope it works for ya!

[@antmon123]

it did but I numbed it down a little with just oil/salt/pepper/garlic powder - super juicy and delicious at med-rare... not sure I would ever make in oven again 😊

the Big Easy is the best cooking purchase I've ever made

[@Armadillopepper]

It is a really nice cooker.

I’ve done two prime ribs in mine and each time they came out perfectly. Frees up oven space for side dishes to! Great video!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks!

[@timshipman7916]

Well, I ordered and got in my new Big Easy Cooker, seasoned it last night and prepared a 9.5lbs Whole Sirloin Tip Roast tonight. Made my special rub consisting of Kosher Salt, Course Ground Pepper, Onion Powder and Garlic Powder. Cooked in the Big Easy for 3hrs 45 minutes, let it rest 15 minutes and then sliced into it!! Been doing Whole Sirloin Tips my whole life and this by far was the best one I have ever done, tasty, very juicy and tender!! Think I am going to love this new Bid Easy!!

[@Armadillopepper]

Tim Shipman Excellent and congrats on your new cooker! We've got a couple of chicken wing videos and chicken quarters video in the big easy coming out in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Terry!

[@fujimanxt-3420]

I watched this video and then showed it to my wife to get her "buy-in" for doing a Wegmans Garlic Studded Rib Roast (Bone In) in the Big Easy. She was a little leery of putting an expensive piece of meat in the Big Easy. I added a bit of Salt Lick Garlic Dry Rub to season some additional areas that Wegmans missed in their preparation. Oh my! The result was bliss and my wife was thrilled with the result. I am a fan of the Big Easy and I am thankful for Armadillo Pepper for making such helpful videos of great recipes to try. I will be creating some more masterpieces thanks to you easy to follow videos!

[@Armadillopepper]

Really glad this turned out for you and the Mrs! Prime Rib is definitely expensive and I get nervous each time I make it 😁

[@meatcranium4280]

I have a Big Easy and I know exactly what your talkin about. I was just talking to the wife last night about doing the exact thing. Awesome coincidence.👍🏼

[@Armadillopepper]

I did it once before, but the prime rib got up to medium on me. Still good, but not what I wanted. This one turned out pretty good.

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Wonderful piece of meat! Never saw a big easy before i started youtube. Seems like a really nice cooker :)

[@Armadillopepper]

It's fun and a lot safer when doing turkey than a oil-based fryer.

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

Well that had some great color to it... the BE produces a nice roast! Nice cook... had me salivating over here. : )~

[@Armadillopepper]

Everyone enjoyed this roast. Thanks Chris. Hot Sauce shipped today.

Ok thanks

[@progers5019]

Thanksgiving and turkey is in the rear view mirror. Let the cooking festivities of Christmas begin with none other than a beautiful prime rib roast.I had never heard of oil-less fryers til recent on YT. Looks like it produced a fine looking roast. Color is very good. Nice job Jeff.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Phil. This cooker is really fun.

[@cricket516]

Many years ago, when Ricky and I were dating, we went to a nice restaurant. He ordered me prime rib. I've never had it. When the waiter bright it out I said, that's not done! Ricky said, shhh! That's how you eat it. Lol. Pretty good. Yours looks delicious 😋

[@Armadillopepper]

I lived with my Grandparents for a couple of years while in college. On Friday nights we would eat out. She would regularly get Prime Rib and it had to be well done. I used to have so much fun teasing her, but she knew how she liked her Prime Rib.

[@eddie6968]

Great video where did you get the secondary rack for your prime rib

[@Armadillopepper]

I ordered a kit on Amazon. Came with quite a few items.

[@bff426]

Going to try a 5 rib prime roast for Christmas. Have done turkeys for years. Turkeys I cook 10 minutes per pound and they come out perfect. What is the rib roast cooking time per pound? I use an expensive thermometer on oven and grill, but am wary of ruining an expensive prime cut with bad sensor placement. Like to know expected time. Thanks!

[@Armadillopepper]

Check out the description box. I give the weight and time.

[@nicklopez5298]

I need to find where to buy the temperature checker

[@Armadillopepper]

Look on Amazon. They have tons of them and because this video is older, you'll be able to get an updated model.

[@nicklopez5298]

Did I miss how long did u cook for 👍

[@Armadillopepper]

I don't recall if I mentioned time. Because time varies, I always go by internal temperature.

[@Armadillopepper]

I just rewatched and it was 1 hr 45 min.

[@rl4499]

What temperature setting did you use for the prime rib? there are 15 settings. 1 - 15

[@Armadillopepper]

@@rl4499 Mine is over 10 years old. No temp settings. Propane all the way open.

[@pennacooner3973]

Some folks like to season 12-24 hours before cooking. What do you think about that? Also will it be ok without the extra rack ??

[@Armadillopepper]

Seasoning ahead of time is fine. If I were not using the middle rack, I would make sure to place in the unit with bones down.

[@randomactsofcooking]

I saw a 5ish lb Prime Rib Roast at the butcher and it was about $65. That makes me afraid I'll mess it up. Gotta say this one inspired me to, maybe, give it a try. Have to get the meat on sale though. did you make an au jous to go with this? Thanks Jeff.

[@Armadillopepper]

Au Jous would have been a nice add, but I didn't make one. This is a bit expensive. I kept a really close eye on it.

[@bender7565]

I have a BGE but NOTHING cooks whole birds & expensive chunks of beef like my big ez! Nice vid, thanks.

160 for well done

[@wittekind6]

Im going to do a 10 lb for Christmas day. I will be using a meat thermometer but do you have any guess on time for that size?

[@Armadillopepper]

wittekind6 I've not cooked one that big, but I'd guess 2.25 to 3 hours.

How did that size turn out? We make that size so we have leftovers. It will be the first time making beef in ours.

[@Booger500us]

Dang Jeff..killin me

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks....it's a Christmas thing for us.

[@brandancrum5110]

Try letting the prime rib set on a cookie cooling sheet over a cookie pan for 6 hours roughly sitting at room temp. I did one this way and then just used my grandpas style and rubbed it in Lowrys seasoned salt. 6.5 lb took roughly 2 hours but live in Nebraska and made them in December and January so ya it’s cold. Cooked with lid on after 45 minutes without. Let me know what you think if you try. My family loved it

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks for the tip!

[@silviadeanda8998]

how long did that cook for???

[@nacian]

Looks like you have a basket attachment. Is that needed?

[@Armadillopepper]

No. My unit issue 10 years old and the original basket is in bad shape, so I use the shelf.

[@georgekramer7959]

How would you say that the taste compares when using a fryer that uses peanut oil?

[@Armadillopepper]

I can't imagine dropping a prime rib in peanut oil 😩

[@tiny5500]

Great job!!! Is there any way to put a pan to catch drippings? If you've tried , how off ten so they don't burn up? Thanks happy Thanksgiving!!!!

[@Armadillopepper]

There is a way. You can buy an accessory kit and it includes racks that mount anywhere in the basket. You could put an aluminum pan on bottom of tje wire basket and the place roast on accessory rack above it.

[@amcdonal86VT]

Do I really need to buy the bunk basket? Or can I just use the basket that comes with it?

[@Armadillopepper]

You can use the basket that comes with the unit.

[@brandancrum5110]

I have a boneless one I’m thinking I should put the side with the fat on it towards the top in the basket??? First timer any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance

[@Armadillopepper]

I always put the side where the bone was on the bottom. Your approach is probably good. Let me know how it turns out and good luck.

[@WilliamEdword]

Stand it up on its side in the center of the basket.

[@burnerloco4138]

Does that basket come with it?

[@Armadillopepper]

Yes the basket did, but not the extra shelf. That was purchased separately.

Does anyone have an approximate time on doing this? The reason I ask is for family living a couple hours away and setting a time to eat.

Please see the description box.

[@garycarney1969]

did I miss something? how long did he cook It?

[@Armadillopepper]

Hi Gary, I don't measure time on beef as it can vary from cook to cook for many reasons. For example we find out cook times are quicker here in FL than many other US places due to outside temp. Then there's weight, wind, etc. I recommend cooking Prime Rib based on internal temp.

[@juschillin7149]

Love your videos I was wondering how big of a prime rib can’t fit in the air fryer? I am thinking of getting one

[@Armadillopepper]

I've made big turkeys in it.

[@linwoodchatten6623]

How many hours of cooking do you get with a full 20 lb propane tank?

[@Armadillopepper]

I've never kept a record, but get quit a bit of time out of it. Keep backup full when one empties.

[@ts302]

Great video Mr. ArmadilloPepper. Have you ever cooked a roast on it's side? My roast is a 5-bone and will not fit in the normal cooking position. I'm thinking of flipping it mid cook-what say you. Thank you and Merry Christmas Tony

[@Armadillopepper]

I have not. When you say side, do you mean the bones resting on the edge of the basket? That might not be too bad. The end near the bottom might get cooked a bit quicker than the rest.

[@weege001]

i just put my 2.5 pound two bone ribeye in my masterbuilt smoker. dry aged it for 5 days in the fridge with my dry rub over it.. got the smoker set at 220 degrees for 3.5 hours. looking for an internal temp of 130..

Sounds great. I've got to dry age sometime.

Thanks for the great videos. Going to cook a prime rib in the Big EZ. My first turkey turned out fantastic this past Thanksgiving. Is a 5 lb prime rib the limit or can I go higher? I'm cooking for 5 adults. I would like to cook a 7-8 lber if possible.

Hey man I've been watching your videos for awhile i went out and bought one for thanksgiving to try it out I can not figure it out it how to get it to work properly i tried a 6 lb whole chicken to just try it out I let it cook for about hr and a half and the inside down close to the bone was still raw then the night before thanksgiving i tried a turkey and it was about 8 lbs i let it cook for 2 and a half hrs and was still raw in the middle so I tried again on thanksgiving and I let it go for about 3 and a half 4 hrs it was about a 10 lb turkey and it came out perfect I just need some tips or pointers of what i could be doing wrong I also tried chicken drumsticks this past weekend and they cooked for about 45 minutes and didn't even turn colors they were still raw it has been about 30 to 40 degrees everytime ive tried using it and i put the lid on right off the bat to try and keep heat in it but i cant seem to figure it out

[@Armadillopepper]

With it being colder where you at, I would expect it to take a bit longer than here. I just did a 7.5 lb turkey breast (video coming out next week) and it took just under 4 hours. A 4 lb chicken takes 1 hour 10 minutes in mine. I'd suggest you drop an external temp probe in the middle of the cooker (with the cooker on high) and check the temp. Mine runs 300 ish....

[@robertanderson4495]

ArmadilloPepper.com alright man i will do that thank you

[@b-radg916]

Robert Anderson: Since you wrote almost a year ago, I assume you figured things out, but you didn't mention if you'd used a meat thermometer. You can use some time per pound to estimate doneness, but a thermometer will tell you the actual temperature. Hope it's working out now.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

If you really want a great prime rib, purchase a Big Green Egg and do it like the pros do. Get some hickory smoke on the meat and none of that rub crap. The is a very expensive piece of meat to screw up

[@chris5358]

Thats more than medium

[@jerryhubbard4461]

Why not use the oven in your house. All you have in this oiless thing is an outside oven. The meat looks good inside but you can have the rub. I want to taste the expensive meat.

[@b-radg916]

The makers of the Big Easy say that the heat of an oven dries food out. The Big Easy cooks via infrared and results in juicy turkeys, that's for sure… haven't tried a roast yet.
