For all you French food freaks, this item by Hammacher Schlemmer makes your delicacy taste even better! We are talking about a duck press that is perfectly ideal for preparing the mouth watering ‘Canard a la presse’. The one displayed above is made by forging brass by a traditional method, and then forming it into an impressive polished solid brass duck press.
The breast and legs of the duck are removed from a medium roasted duck and its bones are placed in the bowl of the press. The handle is rotated to extract the juice, which further is strained and collected in a saucier. The juice is mixed with reduced wine, brandy, butter, seasonings and flamed with cognac to prepare a scrumptious sauce. The sauce is then served over the duck breast and legs. Sounds delicious doesn’t it!
The base of the press rests on duck feet and the large wheel on top makes gripping and rotating easy. This culinary item could be yours for $1,999.95.
