Good Eats S3E4P2: What's Up, Duck?

[DaiKenneth]

Wow. What an epic twist at the end.

[pcs56]

Bamboo steamer? Raw meat? Porous product? Um yeah! People cook fish on parchment paper in bamboo steamers all the time!

[C5Rigzz]

@pcs56 True... but in practice, the most contaminated part (parchment) can be thrown away. Using parchment helps but not everyone uses it.

[TanukiCoast]

with all the frozen entrails in it his freezer must look like a horror movie XD

[TheDarkKnight187]

DID NOT WASH THOSE POULTRY HANDSSSS!!! ALTON? CONTAMINATION PROTOCOL

[CSLFiero]

one day people will realize duck fat is the bird's biggest pro and not it's biggest con.

[SimuLord]

The backbone makes great stock for making the national dish of Freedonia.

[bcmello128]

wow, they way this duck tastes...soooo good! And so juicy, and tender...I was concerned about adding the breast to the brine but it came out amazing!! Easy recipe, divine flavor!

[FourTael]

My interest is "peked." XD

[JVL8701]

ur fucking dloppy

[NobbyKNobbs]

I love duck.

[KiranStevens]

I'm doing this recipie ffor the 2nd time today. Great recipie and it's easy too. Awesome job, I've never had better duck . . . or ever for that matter.

[scarfacejosh123]

Alright, now can we get on with the rest of the show!?!?! hahahah

[wmcartpusher04]

NASA hot..... heh heh heh

[Arkenarge]

im making it right now

[LilacElf8582]

When it's done right, duck is one of the most fabulous meats on earth.

[mkeulr]

Too complicated,,,need an easier whole roast Duck cooking recipe.

[holyhineyhole]

THIS RECIPE IS MADE OF WIN.

[theoryallogist]

alton is so funny.!@!

[Natedawg422]

I hope to god my folks dont end up that way, ill tempered, impatient and ornery

[Reximusprimebeta]

daffy does not have chubby little nephews, it's donald 10:02

[imthefrogman]

@Reximusprimebeta Daffy did have a wife and kids. Oh yes he did

[dexter1673138]

just finished my duck, and he has yet to let me down!

[gdmz29]

@dexter1673138 ya ive never had duck is it any good (dumb qustion but whats it taste like)

[imthefrogman]

@gdmz29 duck is beautiful if cook / pan fried or bake right. even as duck soup with noodle or rice. for soup you need salt to teast. so i say go 4 it. you'll love it. Ohhhh! one more way to love duck BBQ! have a gooooood time.

[aarrrghhh]

briky71

i think that one was removed because it got nothing but bad ratings...too much salt i remember

[trumbachd1]

@aarrrghhh Thanks for the tip. If i do try this one I'll remember to reduce the salt.

[omadaw]

Does anybody knows which program he covers the nutritional values of OKRA???? I remember watching it sometime in 2007... Could not find it.

[isawaguy]

It's on here. Okraphobia

[briky71]

does anyone know where i can find the episode where he salts the duck for 3 days before cooking????????

[Menimitz]

"Twas the Night Before Good Eats" is where he mummifies the duck before he cooks it. Somewhere around a half hour into the hour long episode.

[briky71]

thank you sooooo much ,..i have salted my duck 3 days before christmas but couldnt find what to do next  hehehe.. happy christmas

[Menimitz]

Hope it turns out good. Tell us how it tastes haha.

[briky71]

agree with aaarrrgh it wasnt worth the bother.greasy an tasted way too salty!

[LittIeWolf]

@briky71 The first time I tried this duck recipe, it came out glorious. When I made it the second time, it came out all salty and greasy. There is definitely something to be said about the duck you use, and just how you marinate it.

[Jedibron]

Its funny he always brings thats another show yet pretty much everytime it doesn't become another show.

[LordOmberus]

He has my mom's colander.

[flickeries]

Did he cut the wings wrong, leaving bone splinters? I thought you were supposed to pop a joint, expose it and slit it down before pulling the wing off like in the Fry Hard episode?

[DarkSoldier712]

As he says in Fry Hard II, quoting Confucius, "A duck is not a chicken."

[trumbachd1]

Great idea to save money on buying a special steamer!

[bullseye614]

my gosh that duck recipie is awesome

[pzshi]

funny how mcgregor was once AB's dad in these episodes unless the actor really is his dad 0_0

[jeygifford]

Notice he didn't wash his "ducky" hands?!?!?!?! AB IS CROSS-CONTAMINATING!!!

[RuleNr34]

holy ****! We are a well trained audience!

[comradechristophe]

i take it you have ever eaten raw duck, its quite good

[silksarii]

so if the duck one buys from the market is beheaded, where do peking duck restaurants get their dead fowl?

[FrostbittenWolf]

They special order the duck whole, sometimes feathers and all. They pluck the duck and process it at the restaurant before cooking.

[xkirahatesyoux]

I always love the blooper/extra at the end of each episode.

[mortson978]

I'm making the duck right now.

[mortson978]

Well, I cooked the duck, it was awesome, but what do i do with the giblets. Supposedly they are good eats.

[phil56]

Rinse and devein the duck liver. Saute in olive oil on moderate heat. Cook each side for 45-60 seconds, not very long otherwise the liver will begin to melt. Cut into slices, then season with a good seasalt or kosher salt and pepper, and drizzle with a small amount of good balsalmic vinegar. Enjoy. The gizzards and heart are good pan-fried - first soak in buttermilk, then coat in flour and panfry.

[mortson978]

And the neck?

[phil56]

Use the neck (and the back if you quartered the duck per the recipe) for stock, gravy, or maybe even consomme. The neck and back have lots of collagen and thus make good stock or sauce.

[mortson978]

all right thanks.

[Knightjc]

"BOUT TIME TO GET TO THE DUCK"

Lol!

[mortson978]

Donald had nephews, not daffy.

[Zephilindrum]

Duck fat IS pretty amazing. That stuff is awesome on salad and red potatoes like AB suggested.

[arequipa1]

haha! that's his dad???

damn! i want to try some of that duck and especially some of that chard... i bet that chard tastes phenomenal

[Amateur1994]

lmao; it's like braveheart part 2

[dubbie17]

that looks delicious. fo sho...

[scoobyDx]

THE BEST

that is all

[crazykb]

Science and food. What could be better???

[aznshrimp90]

lol dat plumbers awesome!!

[codybird34]

Although when raw, and when cutting it up it looks so gross, it tastes REALLY good. :D

[BladeAssault]

I never ate homemade duck. But i first tried duck in a buffet. and OMG, it is the BEST THING EVER.

im serious, i was soooo surprised at how good it tastes!!

i'm a chicken lover, i LOVE chicken.

But when i tasted duck...wow, it taste similar to chicken BUT A LOT BETTER.

TRY IT!!

[Noob12310]

that plumber is smart he should get a different job.

[godspeed18]

is that really his dad?

[CrashGames2108]

it's farmer mcgregor.

[MahBoi3579]

damn that's one brilliant plumber lol

[irondeadpool]

if he is that smart i'm surprised he can't find aa better job.

[dsm4gsus]

Have you ever had to pay for a plumber to come to your house? They get paid like $60/hour

[irondeadpool]

never knew that

[TheJuggaler]

Shit my brother in-law is a bartender and he has an IQ of 139.

[NoirMusic]

Personally I am not sure I'd use a measure of intelligence developed by proto-nazis...but that's just me.

[GenyaAvacado]

Proto-Nazis? Ive heard of Neo-Nazis, but Proto-Nazis...I shudder of the image of proto-man from Mega Man endorsing such tyranny

[NoirMusic]

IQ was a measure of intelligence used by eugenicists to select "mates" for intellectual compatibility and to decide which inmates had to be sterilized. It's funny but Canada, England all had programs where IQ was one of the measures used to see if you were "desirable" the Nazis took these ideas and went further but US and UK eugenicists were the "proto"-Nazis...

[Matein13]

Did this recipe last week...good lord. One of the best meals that I've made...and ate, in my life. The duck is tender and juicy, the skin (especially on the breast) is the stuff of dreams. I am now proud to say that I have an ice tray's worth of frozen duck fat and carnal thoughts in my head. Mmmm...

[kingdomofdalriada]

@Matein13 Carnal as in raping your kids ?

[kiminokami]

@kingdomofdalriada Are you deranged?

[sweeneyt1]

One of the best meals I've had in recent years was duck with a nice cherry sauce. I had always shied away from duck, but one bit and I was born again.

[WISDOMPRODUCTI0NS]

Im so making duck soon. Brome lake ducks. heck yes!

[l337nik]

I'm going to be anal but I think he meant Donald and not Daffy's nephews. Very very good episode.

[BigStupidFingers]

it was prolly to keep disney fileing a lawsuit. lol

[realar]

actually daffy does have nephews they appeared only once in the days he was manic.

[keys4lyfe]

i pulled a bag of sauce out of your ass

[sweeneyt1]

Wow...Farmer McGregor is AB's father? Think of the implications.

[elbethere]

Not realy, just one of Brown's "stable of actors"

[sweeneyt1]

I know, twas merely a fanciful jest.

[tdoAAML]

@sweeneyt1 Farmer McGregor is NOT AB's father. He is just acting. AB's father died many years before the show began.

[ViridianGames]

This recipe is delicious. The skin is the best part. I tend to cook potatoes in the leftover duck fat rather than chard, though.

[Cartoonsuzz]

Nice little Indiana Jones reference at the end. Love u, AB!

[phatcrayonz]

awesome.

[TBRRGaming]

kickass
