We always do boneless roasts. Easier to slice and deal with. Do whichever makes you happy.

I slice the bones almost all the way off before cooking, and then tie them back on with kitchen string. A butcher can also do this for you. Then after cooking, you can easily remove them before carving the roast.


PP again. Like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/meat/comments/1pp9rom/prime_rib_with_bones_tied_back_on/

Ask the butcher. This is their profession and will tell you what's best and how to best cook it.
