How to Cook the perfect Duck breast

[simoncrawley]

I'm sure he's under stated the cooking time by accident. Two minutes skin side down is nowhere near enough to cook a breast that size without finishing in the oven, even if he hasn't rendered down from cold pan temperature. Please use a thermometer to check your temperature. Not sure what's happened here...

Just made my first one I thought undercooked but as it seems it's actually proper way to serve it If I'm going to die it will be worth it.

Don't forget to start cooking on a cold pan - otherwise the fat from skin will be sealied inside instead of coming out and make skin crispy. Most important thing fora duck breast steaks.

I think that it needs a bit more cooking but it start to be more hard to chew it .this type of cooking it's really good if you know that your duck it's really fresh and good you get it frozen and you ll cook it medium well, or well done its not eatable.i like this video, good job chef

If you go by those timings you will have a raw duck breast and non crispy skin. Needs longer in the pan and then 6-8 mins in an oven skin side down in the pan.

It's fucking still quacking.. Medium is my cup of tea

[ddeo]

the duck is fine.
yall need to learn when rare meat is safe

[AmyGPadgett]

Outstanding recipe, although I do cook mine a little longer. Even works on seaducks! I serve mine with a little reduced balsamic vinegar, dried fruit, sugar and wine sauce. Excellent!

Why do people like their food cremated? Good skills chef. thank you

The duck breast is raw...completely undercooked. not enough time on the pan.

This is the only YouTube video that actually cooked their duck Medium Rare

[FuriousPumpkin]

you went a little too deep in the scoring in my opinion.

I Agree, idiots who ask for well done, should eat at McRonalds as they obviously have a non existant pallet . Infact, I get annoyed at a restaurant that asks "how would sir like their steak/lamb/duck"etc. Just cook it properly I say.
I also don't want salt and pepper on the table... that indicates a lack of confidence from the chef. BTW the red stuff from rare meat is NOT BLOOD, all the blood has been drained. It is something else called myoglobin which is mostly water....

Put it in the oven 5 mins after frying then let it sit in the juices to rest . Each to there own .

I cook duck all the time and his timing is way off. It's impossible to get that color on the duck, and render the fat, in under 3 minutes. It takes longer than that for a cold pan to even conduct heat. From cold pan, to medium rare, is about 14 min with medium heat.

[dantraj]

its exactly the colour perfectly cooked duck should be : )

[frankelee]

Telling from the comments, I don't think many people here eat much at fancy restaurants to know you can consume meat that isn't well done.

[bigbob]

looks perfect to me.. personal preference

[Cypeq]

how about the cooking times ? I did mine on low heat (with apple slices and garlic :3 sort of my way got nice duck fat caramelised apples :O ) for 20 mins skin side and 2-3 per all 3 others

[desertblackout]

it will take time till some one or a group of people know wat to do with duck
