This recipe does not state how long you should leave the oven off before turning it back on... 1/2 hour? 1 hour? 2 hours?!

This turned out to be about the best Prime Rib I have made at home. The only thing I did different was I turned the oven to 450 and stuck the roast in for about 15 minutes to get a good outer crust and then turned it down to 375 for an hour. I did my usual sliced garlic and cut slits into the fat side and inserted them. I also included crushed rosemary in the spice rub, and used kosher salt.

How is a recipe that leaves out the most important factor, the time the roast is left in the oven with the heat off, a five star recipe?

What a great recipe. Made this recipe last night. After not being able to find the recipe that my mother always used, I opted to try this recipe. I am so glad I did. It turned out perfect. <br/>I will be making this recipe again and again and again.
