Confit of duck
Has anyone cooked this before? Any tips or tricks? I don't even know what it's supposed to end up like
I've got a couple of leg quarters in the oven at 150 degrees which have been slowly cooking down in plenty of fat for the last 3 hours. I managed to lose the skins because they stuck to the bottom of the pan but meh. Plenty of good duck fat has come out. Looking forward to some awesome roasties.

Well the confit de canard that you buy in France is unbelievably tender. It just drops off the bone and melts in your mouth... so I'd aim for that. I think it's supposed to have crispy skin if it's cooked fresh but wouldn't worry too much about that

Never cooked it, but my mother makes an amazing one, as Kate says, it should just fall off the bone.

Yep, it's pretty delicate. I'm just waiting for my cassoulet to cook and I'll stick it in at the last minute. Can't wait
