How big of a Prime Rib to cook for 12-14 people?

Im thinking 12 lbs should leave some leftovers. The largest Ive cooked in the past is 8 lbs. Should I just cook (2) 6 lb or will a 12 lb cook evenly? Thanks for the tips.

I would think a 8 or 9 lb will be fine. It won't cook entirely evenly as usually the ends will be a bit. More done than the middle. As long as the middle is perfect med rare you are fine.

I normally shoot for 2 lbs per person, so 28 lbs should be good. I'm not an expert on deep-frying, so perhaps another caller so give you tips on how evenly a large roast will cook in the fryer.

2lbs? Jeez
More like half a lb.

I always have some leftover. But people probably eat more meat than usual when I cook it since I serve fewer sides with prime rib.

Maybe if that's the only protein you are providing. My fam always has tons of apps and sides and we are doing a 14lb turkey along with our prime rib.

Yeah I will typically cook the rib roast and 1 green veggie and maybe serve a small salad. Nothing else heavy.

If you reverse sear, you won't have this issue.

You have to factor in bones and loss of weight when cooking. You'll lose roughly 25% of the beginning weight in the cooking process.

One rib for every two people. So, instead of worrying about pounds, I'd ask the butcher for a 6-7 rib roast. 8 rib roast for extras, or playing it safe.

I’ve always heard 1 bone for two people when cooking prime rib. That is what we are doing this weekend and it worked well last year.

It's a less precise way to do it.
It depends which end of the rib rack the bones come from.
But to each his own.

I will reverse sear it. You will still. Have some end pieces that are a little more done than the middle with a piece of meat that big. It's not. Like cooking a single ribeye.

I do two people per lb at bare minimum.
Also started cooking without the bones, and tightly twine into an even roll. Creates more crust during sear and cooks more even.
