The word 'deep-frying' was coined in the 19th century, though the practice has been on long before then. History has it that the method of cooking began in the European countries before other nations took after them.

Deep frying is a process of submerging food in hot oil at a temperature between 171 degrees and 191 degrees. During this cooking process, the deep-fried food undergoes hydration and a process called Maillard reaction.

The reaction involves the breaking down of sugar and proteins, hence, creating a golden brown appearance.  When the surface of the food is hydrated its forms a crust that prevents further absorption of oil. The heating process makes proteins to denature, softens dietary fiber, and makes carbohydrates to undergo starch gelatinization.

Most food would need batter coatings for protection, before frying. If well-done, it doesn’t make food to become greasy. Staples are the most common examples of deep-fried food, and they are present in almost every country in the world. Some of them are potatoes, fish, doughnuts, and onion rings.

What Makes Prime Rib So Special?

What Makes Prime Rib So Special?

Prime rib includes a large “eye” of beef at the center that’s tender, succulent, and marbled with fat. This attention includes a fat-marbled muscle about it, and a thick cap of fat surrounds the entire thing.

It follows that prime rib is tender, succulent, and incredibly flavorful since the muscles are not heavily utilized.

Seasoning Prime Rib

Since prime rib is this a significant, expensive cut of beef, right care needs to be taken when cooking and seasoning it. The depth of this cut means a generous quantity of seasoning is vital.

My preferred method of cooking prime rib would be to cut the meat off the bones (I enjoy bone-in prime rib because I like gnawing on the bones), season with salt, sliced garlic, and dried herbs, then tie back the meat on the bones before roasting.

Cooking Prime Rib

Grilling or roasting are equally fantastic cooking techniques that will melt and brown down the yummy fat on the exterior to a rib but be careful not to overcook the interior.

Prime rib is in its very best cooked rare or medium rare   it shouldn’t be cooked beyond medium (140°F), or most of the fat will melt from the meat, rendering it hard, dry, and plump.

Following the prime noodle is cooked, then be confident that you allow it to rest for 30 minutes to your meat to reabsorb all of the yummy juices before breaking. Considering that the meat is currently precut in the bones, divide it in the bones and slice away effortlessly.

Prime - The grade

Prime is the most excellent USDA grade of beef available, acquiring the maximum marbling (flecks of fat in the meat) and consequently the very best taste and tenderness. The category under Prime is Choice, the caliber most supermarkets take.

When you request a prime rib in a grocery store, the odds are that the counterperson will presume you are referring just to the cut, not the quality, and you’ll be given a Choice tier prime rib. The standard of Choice grade beef remains relatively good, and as a rib roast is a relatively fatty cut to start with, a Choice tier prime rib will create a fine beverage.

Nevertheless, if you would like to splurge on the top, you will have to purchase an excellent (tier) prime rib, and you might need to find a specialty butcher store or high-end grocery store to locate one.
