Di Biase Filkoff Architects (Milbrook, NY)

The inspiration for this Chic Kitchen Update by Di Biase Filkoff Architects was a modern farmhouse aesthetic. The clients wanted a glamorous country kitchen with brass touches, but a masculine feel. The goal was to design a kitchen with a hint of the traditional accented with contemporary touches, and to visually expand the space without moving any of the existing walls. The owners loved the contrasts – between the traditional & industrial, masculine & glamorous, dark cabinets & light brass accents. The masculine custom-designed Caliber Indoor Pro Range contrasts with the glamorous brass inlay of the island counter top. Caliber enjoyed customizing our culinary equipment to truly accent and help tie together the space in this installation.

Albano Appliance in Pound Ridge, New York was also the Caliber featured dealer to provide the Caliber range for this project.

Butternut Squash Soup

This is a delicious soup recipe to make on the Caliber Indoor Pro Rangetop or Power Pro Dual Top Burners during the fall season. Sweet potato is the secret ingredient, which adds an extra sweetness and texture to the soup. Peel, seed and dice the squash. Peel, seed, and dice the sweet potato. Put them both in a pot with the vegetable broth, water, and salt. Bring the pot to a simmer for 40 minutes, or until tender. Be careful not to boil. While the vegetables simmer, melt the butter in a pan. Gently cook the onions in the butter, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize. Continue cooking for about five minutes, stirring often. Add the wine to the onions, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the onions to the mixture in the pot and continue to simmer for the remaining time, about 25 minutes. Puree everything with a hand blender. Add the cream, white pepper, and a bit more salt if needed. Garnish with chives or cilantro. Enjoy!

Smoked Cedar Plank Salmon

Prepare the Caliber Pro Kamado Smoker by filling the blaze basket accessory with lump charcoal. The basket should sit on the charcoal plate at the rear of the smoker with the hinged part of the grate above it so you can access it. Bring the temperature of the smoker up to 325ºF.

Remove any bones or skin from the salmon filet. Rinse the cedar plank and place it on the grill for 3-4 minutes to bring out the cedar aroma. Brush the plank with olive oil. Place the salmon filet on the plank and brush it with olive oil. Squeeze two lemon wedges over the salmon and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and dill (optional). Put the plank with salmon on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes. It is ready when the internal temperature of salmon reaches 135ºF. Enjoy this healthy and delicious entrée.

Rotisserie Chicken

Wash and brine your chicken with your favorite dry brine and place on the rotisserie rod. Truss the chicken once it’s on the rod and use pliers to tighten the fork screws. Prepare the Caliber Pro Kamado Smoker by filling the blaze basket accessory 3/4 full of lump charcoal and a handful of apple chips at the top. Put a drip pan at the bottom of your grill to catch the juices for use as a baste after the chicken is cooked. Wear heat protective gloves when inserting the rotisserie rod and chicken. Let the rotisserie run for about an 75 to 90 minutes while basting with olive oil periodically. To check the doneness, turn rotisserie motor off and insert the thermometer into the thickest part of breast with temperature reaching 165 (+/- 5 degrees). Rotisserie chicken on the Caliber Crossflame Silver or Pro gas grill should be cooked on HI initially, and then MED once skin darkens. Cook time and doneness is similar to cooking on the Pro Kamado. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
One 8 lb. chicken or two 4.5 lb. chickens
Olive oil
Your favorite meat dry rub or just salt and pepper
