Agree that a probe thermometer is the best bet for that. $25 is a small price to pay for a rib roast that large. You leave it in and just monitor the temp without opening the oven door.

I own both the CDN DTQ450X and the Thermapen.
They are both very accurate, just the CDN one takes an extra 2-3 seconds to give the current temperature.

You can also eat chicken breast at a SAFE 140 degrees held at about 35 minutes which is even juicier than the 150. Just buy an immersion circulator and sous vide it :drool:.
