Reply to comment by PaulbunyanIND in [Homemade] Prime Rib Roast (Closed Oven Method) by nom00

"Closed-oven" is a roasting method where you turn off the oven after a certain amount of time, and allow the residual heat in the oven continue to cook the roast for a couple of hours before opening the oven door.

What’s the benefit to doing that?

Consistency, mostly.

It has some downsides - longer roast time, a fair chance of failing to fully render the fat, etc.

I prefer the more traditional methods. But it works reasonably well and it's easy. You won't disappoint any of your guests by using it.
