How to Cook Perfect Duck Breast | Gordon Ramsay

duck breasts never be scared about cooking this bird absolutely delicious very healthy first oven on 200 degrees and then salt pepper now the salt will help to extract the water out of the fat nonstick pan no oil but start the duck breasts in the pan cold skin side down it feels and sounds a little bit weird but if you put them into a cold pan and turn the heat up gradually it starts to release the fat if we put them into a hot pan it seals them in and the fat stays in there we want to render that fat down 90 of that duck breast will be cooked on its skin keeps the duck nice and moist but more importantly it stays crispy [Music] once the fat comes out turn the duck over nice high hot heat seal the duck now they're going in the oven skin side down 200 six to eight minutes if your pan's got a plastic handle on it then transfer the duct brush onto a tray but make sure you put the tray into the oven to get hot first cooking duck is like cooking a piece of beef and you can't slice it piping hot all the goodness runs out just quickly turn it over push your fingers in there and it's slightly resistant but still quite bouncy and that confirms they're quite pink in the center but the important part now is leaving that to rest let them cool down and then we'll slice them keep that excess duck fat and there you go next time you're sauteing potatoes you just take them to a completely different level now slicing the dirt just slice it at an angle not too thin if you slice it thinly it goes cold quickly so nice thick slices nice crispy skin on top and a beautiful clump roasted duck all the white fat gone nice crispy skin absolutely delicious [Music] nice long strokes so we get the whole of the blade three fingers one in front two behind and this part of the knuckle

Impossible to fuck this up and so goddamn delicious. Keep the fat!!!

When i do this i usually make very shallow cuts into the fat so that it renders away a bit better and be sure to increase the heat quite gradually at first.

did he say to eat the duck breast still pink? I thought that being a kind of poultry you had to cook them all the way, like chicken.
