Understanding the Results

The calculator provides three key pieces of information:

• Per Person (ounces): The amount of prime rib each guest will receive in ounces.
• Per Person (pounds): The amount of prime rib each guest will receive in pounds.

Prime Rib Serving Size Guidelines

The standard serving size for prime rib is 6-8 ounces per person, but this can vary based on the formality of the meal and your guests' preferences:

• Casual Dinner: 6-8 ounces per person
• Formal Dinner: 8-10 ounces per person
• Large Parties: 5-7 ounces per person

Calculator Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the total amount of prime rib needed:

Total Prime Rib Needed (pounds) = (Number of Guests × Serving Size (ounces) ÷ 16) ÷ Prime Rib Weight (pounds)

This formula accounts for both the total number of guests and the weight of the prime rib cut you're working with.
