Sweet potatoes are in the slow cooker. Prim Rib seasoned and looking pretty setting on the counter coming up to room temperature. I'm going to try the closed door method. Hope it works or 1:00 will turn into 2-3. 
Merry Christmas!!!! And happy anniversary Punkin!
Dinner rolls are rising, prime is waiting on it's seasoning. I always used the 8 hour closed door method, it never failed me. Are you doing the 500 degree, 5 minutes per pound roast time and then 2 hours with the oven off? This year I'm doing the 2 hour. *fingers crossed*
I won't lose Victor today, he's laying in front of the counter that the prime is sitting on, just in case it falls off or something. sheesh, you'd think I don't feed the boy.

Yes haven't tried it before. My buns were 2 days ago should be ok. Just hubby and me so they probably wont get eaten today anyway.
I guess we'll both find out how well the 500 method works. I'm planning on serving at 2:30, but we'll see. It's just Mr. V and I this year, Sonny just called to bah humbug me from MI.
You guys are making me hungry now and we don't eat until after 1. I think I know how Victor feels about now...
So far so good. although the temperature hasn't gone over 119. Hoping it isn't to rare.

It should raise a bit after coming out of the oven, keep me posted please. Mine goes in in 12 minutes.
So it was a 3 and 1/2 500 for 20 min then turned off and took out 2 hrs later. 119 top temp. Rare hubby loved it. Will need to try the other way next time. I prefer medium.
This is the one I used. Used a digital thermometer

That's the same one that I am using this year. *fingers crossed* as I didn't put a thermometer in it. How well does your oven door seal? With my old range it didn't work as well as my new one does, I think my seal wasn't as good in the old one.
Here's my old recipe that the butcher gave me, it always worked. Med on the ends, med rare in the middle:
7 hours before dinner put seasoned prime in oven. Set oven to 400F, and leave for 40 minutes if 6# or less or 1 hour if over 6#. Turn off oven when time is up but don't open the door. One hour before dinner, turn oven back on at 325F. You will need to let this rest for 15 minutes when you take it out.
I decided to do the new way because I didn't want to devote 7 hours of my ovens time today. Hopefully it wasn't a stupid decision with an expensive piece of meat.

Let me know if it worked. If it did I'll check my oven temps, its only 3 years old. But could be off.
This is close to my regular one. Only 450 30 min then I drop it to 325 till the thermometer registers 120 and take it out to rest.
It worked. My center was 129.7 when I pulled it out. I did add one minute to my cook time to make up for the door being opened a bit long while I put the pan in. I don't know that one minute would make much of a difference. It was pretty rare in the center, which is fine for Mr. V. I'd rather my meat hold still on the plate, he'd eat it as it ran past him. blech. Next time I think I'll go back to my old way.
My triple chocolate bundt cake decided to stick in one spot, so we had to eat that section because looking at it was embarrassing. I'm full as a tick. Victor is happy, he had scraps with his dinner.

Good morning everyone!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We ended ours on a warm and relaxing note. Sitting in front of the working gas fireplace with the lights off sipping on some Jameson with Christmas music turned down low in the background...
