Prime rib and broken thermometer!!!!

[mikees]

Have a single bone 1kg prime rib for later and my meat thermometer has stopped working !!!’

Any suggestions? Tempted to stick it in at 200 for 15 then 150 for 15. Too much for rare? Or 5 mins in pan each side then 20 mins as 180?

Help!

If you want rare go with the pan then oven unless you can get your oven stupid (275C+) hot then 15 mins, remove, let oven cool to 125 then 40-45 mins.

Pan to get the crust then a warm oven, go by touch though not time. Yeilding but not jelly.

Brilliant thanks Tony. Have 2 ovens so no cooling and both can get to stupid hot (self cleaning 500 degree hobbies)

Merry Xmas all!
