COOKING TIPS FOR MOULARD DUCK Cooking Moulard Duck breast requires a balance of technique to achieve the perfect combination of crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. Here are some general tips: Score the Skin: Before cooking, score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern. This helps render the fat and makes the skin crisp. Start with a Cold Pan: Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold pan, then turn on the heat. This allows the fat to render slowly, crisping the skin without overcooking the meat. Control the Heat: Cook the duck breast on medium-low heat to render the fat and crisp the skin. Once the skin is crisp, flip the breast to cook the other side. Don't Overcook: Moulard Duck breast is best enjoyed medium-rare to medium. Overcooking can make the meat tough. Rest the Meat: Let the duck breast rest after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meat. Use the Rendered Fat: The rendered duck fat can be used to cook vegetables or potatoes, adding a rich flavor. Remember, every cooking method can vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of the duck breast, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
