Photography
Related: About this forumA cautionary photo from my kitchen . . .
There's an adventure that surrounds my photo of the prime rib we had for dinner tonight.
I was cooking it in my normal way and it was time to take it out. What I hadn't expected was an oven full of smoke that emerged!
Too late I realized what would happen and then it happened! The smoke alarm went off and off and off. Too late I shut the kitchen door and turned on the fan.
The firemen arrived, complete with sirens and lights. My husband explained what had happened and they left. The adrenaline kept going on. I finally calmed down and we had a nice dinner.
If it happens again, I'll know what to do. ~whew~
It was delicious!

I think the closest we have to a drool smiley is this:

CaliforniaPeggy
(150,765 posts)But if it does!
Turn off the oven.
Close the kitchen door next to the smoke alarm.
Turn on the fan to high.
THEN open the oven and removed the smoking pan!

(3,341 posts)I was in the back yard smoking ribs and chicken on my Weber when I realized there was a firefighter looking over my gate. He said one of my neighbors said they smelled smoke. I told him of course they smelled smoke, I'm smoking my ribs. I offered him some, but he declined.
He suggested I tell my neighbors when I'm going to barbecue, and I said no, I'm not going to do that. They can just figure it out.
LOL!

(46,823 posts)There was a really big blaze in the yard behind mine. Turned out my neighbor was starting his barbecue. In my defense, it was dark, and I couldn't see well what was going on. Plus, I'm not sure it was safe so close to the building. He barbecued all the time, and the only problem was the smell made my mouth water. Even the cat's nostrils flared. That man could barbecue. Sometimes, he gave me some.

(19,222 posts)Just enough water to catch the drippings and keep them from burning. Not enough to steam or boil. Prime Rib should be cooked low and slow anyway, so any water wouldn't create steam. 😕

(150,765 posts)I'm also thinking that since this is a new oven, perhaps it's cooking at a higher temperature than my old one.
I think I'll try setting the temperature a bit lower next time, and see how it goes.

(19,222 posts)I fear for your life, Peggy. You are correct though. Sometimes there's a break-in period for new ranges until they settle into a steady state.
Whatever you did though, you and your new oven did a fantastic job. There's almost no greater sin than over-cooking a beautiful rib roast.

(150,765 posts)But my ovens are in the wall and are built-in, and they're electric! The old ones gave out last year.
SergeStorms
(19,222 posts)I always do the same. I can't stand a smoky house and water in the pan eliminates that problem.
CaliforniaPeggy
(150,765 posts)Believe me, I WILL remember it.
Kali
(55,283 posts)that looks GREAT!
sorry bout your kitchen, but ya cooked that sucker right!
CaliforniaPeggy
(150,765 posts)My kitchen is fine; the smoke long gone and the roast is sitting quietly, waiting for me to prepare another dinner with it.
The recipe I use is foolproof! The roast always looks like the photo. It is so good!

(60,114 posts)I crushed some caraway seeds and the crushing really made a big difference in flavor
My favorite toast is with a garlic clove rubbed on it then some butter slathered on top.
