Luv-a-Duck Frozen Duck (2.1kg) $15 (Was $26.20) @ Coles

1000

This deal is back, but $1 more expensive. Bloody inflation.

Product of Australia.

Roast Duck in 3 easy steps - If frozen, leave in bag and defrost fully in the refrigerator
1. Prepare: Preheat over to 190°C. Drain any liquid from the cavity, dry the skin with paper towel and season with salt. Never stuff the cavity of a whole duck only use this space for inserting herbs. This allows the duck to ventilate whilst cooking.
2. Roast: Place duck on a wire rack in a roasting dish and roast until golden and juices run clear. Approximate roasting time is 40 mins per kg at 190°C.
3. Rest: Allow duck to rest in a warm place for 20 mins before portioning.

  • Duck chefs, how long do these take to defrost?

    I have one sitting in the freezer which I've been meaning to cook, would popping it in the fridge the evening before be enough? Sitting in water as well or just as is?

    • +1

      About 2-3 days in the fridge (set at 3°C)

      • Perfect, thank you!

        • -3

          or just zap it in the microwave.

    • +1

      I usually move it from the frozen to the fridge compartment for 24 hours, mind you to have a double bag or a tray to catch the drip. A quick way is just to take it out and soak the whole bag in lukewarm water and keep the water warm for around 2 hours.

  • +1

    you definately need more than one night to defrost it if you keep it in the fridge

    • Will put it in a few days before, thanks!

  • Time to find some duck smoking recipes!

    • idk, duck seems a pretty strong flavour by itself, would have to be a light smoke for me.

      • Agreed. Have a look at some of the kamado joe recipes - tasty

    Luv-a-Duck Frozen Duck

    Court case coming up…

      Just make sure your pull out game is strong. I'm not sure cumin goes well with duck.

      • Could result in more thyme

        • If it takes more thyme, I'll have to ask anise to help me check on it.

          • @Munki: By then it might be tarragon.

            • @jv: Don't be a dill. I'm sure she'll check on it regularly. I have always told her to never leave food cooking unattended. That's sage advice.

              • +1

                @Munki: Thanks. I will parsley that information. Leigh, my kiwi friend also luvs a duck.

                • @jv: Just also remember, when you're handling duck, don't do it gingerly. That's what I've learnt from my cardamom.

                  • @Munki: Can’t have tumeric ducks

                    • @MisterEd: That's true. You could cook them in so many ways, but I think I just prefer to burnet.

  • It's gone up by 2+$ now? Used to be 12$ to 13$. Oh well, still worth it though. Luv-me-some-duck. Mwaah!

    • +1

      Calm down, no need to get in a flap

      • Quack quack. Can't help it. Really luv me some Daffy. In fact I still have one left in the freezer just waitin' to be smoked and or roasted.

    • Its pretty good since inflation has gone up alot so only 1 dollar increase is great.

      • It's 3$ actually, but heck, who's counting ey?

  • Nice gonna give a crack at hanging one of these in the bullet smoker.

    • works well, the only disappointing thing is you don't get yummy cripsy duck skin with smoking it.

      • +2

        True, I want to try doing a proper Peking duck so I'll do hot and fast with heat beads blues and no smoke. Just need to work out how I'm going to blow it up to detach the skin, not keen on doing it with a straw.

        • +1

          always wanted to try that as well. might be time to experiment with my bullet smoker as well.

        • +2

          I did it with a pump and a needle for inflating sports balls - just stick it under the skin and pump away

  • time to restock the freezer with 4 or 5 of these.

    • How big is that freezer?

      • I have a separate meat freezer, these will barely make a dint in it.

        • nice to meat, you

  • +1

    40 mins per kg at 190°C.

    80min approx, plus 20 min rest..but im hungry NOW! :(

  • I've found using roasting racks to be really crap when roasting chooks, cause the skin ends up getting damaged. I've found a way to suspend the chook by using hooks and strings. This helps cook them without damaging the skin and I think it helps keep the breast juicy too. I'm assuming this will also benefit roasting the duck in a similar fashion.

    • For chickens you should be spatchcocking then laying on a wire rack.

    • just need a rotating rotisserie stick/prongs like I had with an old Austrian benchtop oven - that was the shizzle for roast chicken but I don't have it no mo and current ovens don't have a rotating shizzle

      • Haven't really needed to rotate it to be honest. Just turn the chicken around with the hooks to cook it evenly. I swear this hook method is really good.

  • Ducking good deal

  • Price gone up a lot.

  • +1
    • Roast it as follows for 4 hours at 300 degrees

      instruction unclear, I burn the whole house and neighbours down

  • When the regular price was $14 at ALDI in not so distant past ago.

  • Anyone had one on a Weber rotisserie?

  • Yup, I luv a duck

  • I think I still have a frozen one in my freezer. From over 12 months ago How long can you keep frozen meat in the freezer?

    • +1

      15 years

    • Best before - 6 months
      Use by - forever

      • Haha I'll give it a crack!

    • Me too 🤣🤣 and a few breasts that’s I vacuum picked separately

  • https://youtu.be/KXYxfwVioeE
    Great Duck scene 👌🏻

  • never able to find one in Fountain Gate Coles :(

  • Just in time for my $30 spend

  • +1

    I cut off the breasts and sous vide them.
    Meanwhile, I roast the rest of the carcase in an air fryer and make Thai duck red curry.

  • What's the best way to defrost in a few hours?

    • Put it in a sink of room temperature water.

  • +1

    Take out of the bag and leave in the fridge uncovered for a couple of days or more. This will dry out the skin and make it crispier when you roast it in the oven

    • good idea - presumably with a tray to collect defrost liquid - and hopefully your fridge won't add undesirable flavours from the smell of other foods

  • niiiiiice

  • Is Duck

    Is good.

    • female friend's alternative health practitioner recommended she avoid duck as a 'poison'

      ima guy so I luv a duck almost as much as I luv a #uck and #uck

  • Can never find these in stock?
    Even online/click and collect says unavailable

    • Managed to get 2x 1.9kg for click and collect $50 min spend

  • +1

    Also FYI, check your Uber Eats. I was able to get 2 of them for $14 delivered (I do have Uber One). You can do it 2 times if you have the offer, so thinking of getting two more and stocking up lol.
