Cornish Miner Pies

If you are looking for things for your kids to do while home, then this is a must-try recipe, especially if they have studied California history! Cornish Miners Pies were not only popular during the Gold Rush in the United States, but also resemble meat pies in Europe or empanadas in South America or Spain. These are great for baking in your Caliber Indoor Pro Range, where you will get a perfect golden brown pie crust. These are usually baked in the oven, but two of Caliber’s grills emulate oven qualities: the Rockwell by Caliber Social Grill (because of the low hood when closed for cooking) and the Caliber Pro Kamado Charcoal Smoker and Grill (because of the flue-way).

Keep the pastry dough chilled while you are assembling the rest of the recipe. Dice a medium onion and set aside. Dice one cup of potatoes and carrots. Sauté onions, carrots and potatoes in a pan with a little bit of oil. Add a half pound of ground beef and one teaspoon of salt and cook until golden brown. Drain any excess oil. Remove the pastry dough from the fridge. Roll out the pastry into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick, and use a small bowl to cut out circles. We like making small appetizer-size pies. Stuff half of each circle with meat, moisten the edges with water, and use a fork to crimp the edges shut. Brush the tops of the pastries with milk. To ensure you have a moist inside, poke a hole into the top of the crust and use a syringe to insert the melted butter and water mixture. You can insert more halfway through the baking. It really does keep the filling tender. Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350ºF for 30-60 minutes until golden brown.

If you bake these on the Caliber Pro Kamado or Rockwell Grill, bake on a pizza stone with flour and keep the grill shut at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Ingredients:
Pie pastry dough for 2-3 pies rolled out
1 medium diced onion
1 cup diced potatoes and 1 cup diced carrots
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons melted butter and water mixed together
2 tablespoons of milk

Caliber announces the patent on the flue-way system for the Pro Kamado Charcoal Grill and Smoker

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (February 2020) – Caliber Appliances, makers of award-winning grilling equipment, proudly announces the patent on the flue-way system on the Caliber Pro Kamado Charcoal Grill and Smoker. When grilling, this patented system assures better moisture retention in grilled goods. The efficient and unique triple layered insulated oven design of the Pro Kamado keeps heat and moisture in while using 40% less lump charcoal than ceramic grills. 

The Pro Kamado is truly remarkable in the variety of cooking styles it offers – grill, smoke, bake and rotisserie with one unit. At less than half the weight of other kamado smokers, the Pro Kamado is flexible focal ideal for entertaining. Its heat resistant outside shell also provides a cooler surface than ceramic grills.

Smoke with confidence with the Pro Kamado. Simply set the heat for low and slow at 225 degrees for 4, 5 or 6 hours, and the smoker does the work. Brisket fans can run the smoker on a single stock of fuel starting at 225 degrees and see the temperature at 205 degrees — 12 hours later.

Baking with the Pro Kamado is enhanced with natural convection and added radiant reflection for better airflow and browning than competitive top-vented grills.

The integrated rotisserie option on the Pro Kamado is a patent-pending industry exclusive. The hands-free rotisserie turns chicken or turkey into a perfectly juicy, beautifully crusted entrée in just over an hour. The rear heat feature and indirect Blaze Basket™ are part of this exclusive system that rivals the flavor of any wood-fired oven or commercial kitchen.

In addition to these proprietary features, the Pro Kamado is a top-grade stainless steel, dual-walled insulated unit with better design and heating efficiency than other smokers. The dual layer design and heating technology support the Pro Kamado’s efficient energy use. The unit is available in stainless steel, turquoise, black and red. A hardwood handle upgrade kit and side shelf inserts along with custom color options are also available for that designer look. Stainless steel cart and side shelf options are also available. All available accessories include a blaze basket, pizza stone, rotisserie kit, step up grill rack, half and three quarter griddle plates, 10-quart cauldera iron cooking pot, rib rack and build-in leg kit. Stainless steel cart and side shelf options are also available.

Caliber meticulously designs their products not just for power and efficiency, but for flexibility and versatility to satisfy the needs of grilling enthusiasts.
