Will it cook a 8lb prime rib?

We have not done a prime rib in ours, but the manual says "up to an 8 pound roast"

Yes, You can use the Skewers and string to tie up. It would take 30 to 45 minutes depending on how done You want it.

Completely depends on the dimensions of the 8lb prime rib. Although that much beef would probably overflow the grease catch as that happens often.

I think that is to big. We had to be inventive to get a 4-5 pound chicken in it because of the legs and wings.

I cooked a 10lb roast already and will cook a 15lb turkey tomorrow. No problems

Yes, this roaster would have plenty of room for a 5-6# roast. I have loaded it with a 4# deer roast and tons of vegetables and there was lots of room to spare. I've also cooked 2 racks of ribs and it was roomy enough. I love this thing.

I cooked 4 medium sized turkeys on two racks for thanksgiving so it should do the trick; also managed to smoke three racks of ribs on each rack for a total of 144 ribs. I recommend that you buy a replacement thermometer that's more accurate and also ordering a digital thermometer with wireless monitor do you can watch the meat temperature (I monitor meat temperature on top rack and on one in bottom rack) internal temperature is ok if you replace the thermometer on the smoker

The largest thing I have put in it is a 5 or so lb. chicken. It probably could do it although it may look crammed in there at first they alsways do shrink. Also I would cook on med instead of low.

I do not think so. I was able to bake 7-8 lbs chicken with root vegetables.

No it's time controlled. We do Prime Rib and 20 minutes per pound is perfect. Pink in the middle and well doe on ends.

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. The pan is made of aluminum and can't take a lot of heat. I'm not sure what cut of meat you want to sear, but you'll find that stainless steel pans (All-Clad), or cast iron perform better for searing. Head on over to amazing ribs dot com for some great techniques for cooking meat.

yes but it will still have about a 3 inch protrusion near the bottom that is used to heat the wood. it doesnt heat in pressure cooker mode. get the 7 and not the 5 quart model. you will be happier.

Yes. I had it set for cooking my turkey breast today for 2.5 hours...it was great.

I'm roasting 85g with some initial stirring. I wouldn't go much more than that though

Look at the space you typically have between burners on your stove. The 8 quart might overly crowd the back burner, making it useless, where as the 6 won't.

Yes, but you would need a pan to catch the drippings. It holds a 18# turkey with out a problem. Although it has a non stick surface, I have found that a slight mist of Pam makes the first clean up a bit easier. I have used mine to hold 6 full slabs of ribs, a couple of giant boston butts, large pork picnic and like I said an 18# turkey. All on my grill but I make an aluminum pan out of heavy duty foil but I smoke all of my meat on my Napoleon gas grill. I cooked my turkey in under 3 hours. Much easier than inside at thanksgiving when oven space is a premium. The nicest part is no matter how you use it. The two large handles make it easy to move around.

Outside of what the packaging states (8 cups) I can not attest or advise what is the maximum amount the cooker will cook. Sorry.

This machine will do lamb and chicken and pork roast and beef roast and turkey breast and anything else in between!!!!!This machine is an amazing thing!! Only important thing to remember is to figure out how many minutes per pound and then you can "set it and forget it!!!" Good luck and enjoy!!

I haven't cooked any ribs yet but I did cook to Boston Butt shoulder roast and it done a fine job. If I had to guess, you could probably get 10 lbs or more. This cooker cooks meat excellent. It is a great cooker and I know you will be satisfied.
