Thermodyne Product Spotlight: The Prime Minister
The Prime Minister oven is designed specifically for slow-cooking prime rib, brisket, pork shoulder, and other proteins. The reliable cook and hold temperatures allow the Prime Minister to consistently offer the same product every day.
Product Spotlight: The Prime Minister
The Prime Minister uses Thermodyne’s patented Fluid Shelf technology that never forces the prime rib to go above a set temperature, which means yields are as high as 90% and the meat can be held at a finished temperature until the entire loin is sold.
Prime Rib is considered by many to be one of the most delicious and choicest cuts of meat available. As a premium cut of steak, Prime Rib can command top dollar and provide a great return on investment. However, due to factors such as cost, waste and product limitations, many restaurants do not offer Prime Rib regularly. Despite the enhanced flavor and tenderness, many restaurants are hesitant to offer Prime Rib on a consistent basis.
At a typical fine-dining or steak-house-style restaurant, you will notice the menu doesn’t always include Prime Rib as a selection. Often, if it does include Prime Rib, there is a very limited supply depending on the day of the week. As a premium piece of meat, the demand for Prime Rib can be high, and thus the cost would be increased for the customer who orders the meal. However, preparing Prime Rib can be very labor-intensive and takes between 12-16 hours to properly cook. Many restaurants and foodservice operators are reluctant to offer Prime Rib due to fear of wasted product. Depending on the volume of customers that order Prime Rib, up to 50% of a loin could be wasted on any given night. Equipment limitations, the rising cost of beef, and the high cost of labor are also factors that dissuade foodservice operators from offering Prime Rib on a more consistent basis.

What can you expect from The Prime Minister?
Users of the Prime Minister can expect consistent results, reliable holding temperatures, and overall reduced product waste. Premium cuts of meat can be held for extended periods of time, at an even temperature, without extreme spikes, drops, or temperature fluctuations. This enables products to be cooked at a lower temperature to produce a medium rare finished and be held for a prolonged amount of time. With precise cooking and holding temperatures, the Prime Minster minimizes shrinkage, which allows for greater yields.
