Discussion is probably off limits for The Fuzzy I tried Kenji’s reverse sear prime rib recipe yesterday (slow cook in a 200F oven for 4 hours and finish for 15 minutes at 525F) but at the 12 minute mark CHAOS reigned supreme. The roast was on a rack over a baking sheet and the rendering fat was smoldering thick smoke. I removed the roast, put the rack and pan near good ventilation and carried on. The roast was spectacular and delicious. So, is there a way to avoid this problem??? The high heat is essential for the final sear and I felt that at 10 minutes, it needed a little more. Oops! I thought a pad of paper towels under the rack might work but paper ignites at 451F. HELP! |

Perhaps a blowtorch? |

Wino, My first suggestion would be to move the roast & rack to a new pan with no fat in it before cranking the heat. Oh, sorry, off limits. I'll be quiet now. |

I'm with Fuzzy on the new pan. The other option is to get a cast iron pan screaming hot on a burner and roll the prime rib in that, but you need a super duper strong hood and open windows. We have an infrared burner on our new grill, but we've only used it once and I found it left an odd taste when grilled right on it. Although that might have been something hubby did. I need to do more research on that as I'm sure there's a way to use that to save me smoking out my kitchen. |

All - Thanks for the inputs. I’ll start with the new pan idea, although the blowtorch has more pizzazz... |

You can also put down a good layer of salt in the pan to catch the grease so long as you’re not using the drippings. |

Thanks, Carey - I do have a large quantity of rock salt from ‘back in the day’ when we served small dishes embedded on it! |

It works best for small amounts of dripping though. So you might be best with a fresh pan or a blowtorch (or even use the bbq for the final sear). Or some water in the pan but with a sheet pan that makes transfers in and out of the oven dangerous. I do mine with the less extreme CI reverse sear version. You pull a bit earlier, rest for an hour, finish at 450 (or it might be under the broiler....it’s been a while). No smoke though. |
