A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. They tried the same licking test on 20 volunteers and found that the average licks to the center were 252 licks.

For medium-rare, you want to take it out of the oven at 135, because it's going to keep cooking a bit, even after it's out of the oven.irst, take your prime rib out of the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature; a cold prime rib changes the cooking time (longer). If you are using the low (extremely low temperature) method then 200 degree F at 45 minutes per pound, yes, at 200 degrees F (low temperature assures a uniformly cooked prime rib).
