It's actually my second or third try. Still trying to get used to cooking duck but it's kind of tricky compared to other meats like chicken.
I cooked it in a pan for six minutes total so it shouldn't be undercooked. Afterwards I used the fat to marinate the vegetables
It's bleeding like a Russian tourist in a potato field
>It's actually my second or third try.
Better than me!
I failed so terribly at roasting duck on my first try that I never bothered giving it another go.
I can pan cook a titty like no one's business but roasting it just gives me an awful, greasy mess. Here's my method, in case ya want it: tender a small bit of the fat, yeah? Then flip the breast and cook it meat-side down until the colour has changed roughly halfway up the sides then flip and cook skin-side down until crispy. Perfect every time. It renders a surprisingly large amount of fat which I remove from the pan for other uses. My favourite way to serve breast is to deglaze with cider as I sautee some apples and leeks to go with it.
>six minutes
Duck is a 15+ minute process
Start it in a cold pan skin side down on your lowest heat, rendering takes time and there's no way to do it faster or else you get flab
Once it's rendered flip and sear the otherside 90 second max just to get the raw edge off
have you scored the skin with a sharp knife to help rendering the fat during cooking?
Did you start on a cold pan?
You have to cook it medium rare for best results, but it's not a quick preparation. The heat should be moderate, otherwise you'll end up with a thick layer of fat under the skin.
What's the safe temperature for duck meat?
Also, if you're scared just cook it sous vide it (to pasteurize the meat) before slapping it in a smoking hot pan fat cap down.
>What's the safe temperature for duck meat?
Duck breast is basically lean red meat, so you should cook it like a beef steak. Ducks are not usually salmonella carriers, so "undercooked" duck breast is safer than chicken cooked at the same temperature.
Enjoy the Salmonella poisoning. I had that once. It sucks, A south African doctor tried to give me an enema and I think he kind of just wanted to. that is not a joke.
restaurants have been serving medium rare duck breast since forever and you never heard of anyone getting sick from that.
the risk of getting salmonella from duck still probably exists, but it's incredibly low. And close to zero if you live in a first world country and buy your poultry from a respectable seller.

Real question here
There are a lot of ducks at this community college not far from me, I mean A LOT of ducks, there's a lake there. They can be a menace parking there and at local apt complexes. What's stopping me from taking one? You think it'd be good? It's practically free range with added bread supplements, I've been thinking about this for the better part of a decade
wild ducks are totally safe to eat.
ducks that live near a city likely eat a lot of trash, so I wouldn't be sure.
it's also probably illegal to hunt those.
What is it about flightful ducks that makes them less consumable?
Clipped wings and breeding flying birds for food are a thing so I wouldn't assume it was just farmer selection of duckies who could fly less good over time.
Could score the skin to get a better crust. Looks a WEE but undercooked doesn't it? Don't be ashamed to get a food thermometer, 40 bucks goes a long way. Doesn't look bad though
Looks like you uhh forgot something hehe veeeeeeeeeery fundamental my man and that *snaggers* would be the COOKING part haha lol enjoy your raw duck and all the disease that comes with it.
Young man, it's bloody raw
It's bleeding like a Russian tourist in a potato field
Looks a bit undercooked. Good first try.

That's the fat
You're mom's the fat

starting temperature makes a lot of difference when youre only going for 12 minutes

A food thermometer would come in handy here especially as duck is so temp sensitive

You can't be serious.

Looks like a big sloppa shit
it's fucking raw

You sound a lot like a nagger.

Also: Still waiting for the cooking duck to show up and weigh in.

The ducks have cars?
Damn you
No, they like to get in the way of your vehicle and get run down sometimes. Should I eat one? Not a runover one

ITT: retards that think duck breast should be well done
If it flies and shits everywhere, I'm cookin it good.
Most consumable ducks are flightless
What is it about flightful ducks that makes them less consumable?
Clipped wings and breeding flying birds for food are a thing so I wouldn't assume it was just farmer selection of duckies who could fly less good over time.
lower body mass (less meat) in order to fly
easier for bird to escape if capable of flight
not an expert just guessing
