I can't believe how much time I spent making duck confit the traditional way when this was so much easier, faster and tastier! Thank you Carla!

[@Mokiecon]

I don't care if its real duck confit or not, I think it looks good and easy. I will try soon!

[@IrmaU94]

Mokiecon did you

[@christinesumil9473]

Yeah, did you?

It’s been 5 years. How’s it go?

[@Mokiecon]

@@adwnpinoy I totally forgot about this! Never made it unfortunately.

[@ghettorain22]

It's supposed to be a easy recipe that people can do at home. I hate to break it to people (and it may come as a surprise to some), but most home-cooks don't have a vat of duck fat lying around. I'm excited to try this method.

[@ruvin7023]

I used to work at a fine dining restaurant. We used canola instead of duck fat. We cooked the duck in the oven for 4 hours 325F. The duck's fat will be rendered and transfered to the oil. It will taste like the store bought. Keep the fat in the chiller cause it will spoil. You can only use the duck fat only three times because it is gonna get salty from your curing process. I learned that the hard way. Cheers!

[@vicw4522]

@@ruvin7023 So it's not possible to just stop salting the duck, when the oil is already salty?

[@ruvin7023]

@@vicw4522 cure it for the night. Remove the salt mixture with water. Confit it. You can use the oil up to 3 times before it gets too salty

[@ruvin7023]

@@vicw4522 you can't control the salt by then.

[@rogeliogarcia-cavazos3715]

I love Carla along with Claire, Brad, Andy and Molly. They all have different styles but they are all very pleasant and entertaining. It may not be traditional confit, but the point of the video is to show a modified, more accessible technique and get something close to it. It’s like duck carnitas! I’m so making this!

[@Yeraus]

I just made this, with red cabbage and your stuffing recipe as a side - everything was perfect. To be completely honest, the stuffing blew my mind. Thank you so much!

[@WanaBgamer]

I love you mom

It is amazing! Tasted so great, just like duck confit LOL. The whole gang agrees to cook this regularly, super handy for WFH. Thank you Clara!

[@skyabove1032]

I was expecting something delicious, it came out something outstanding, I finished it under the grill with a glaze made with the garlic honey of Brad... OH MY !!!!!!

[@kathieesaur]

How long did you let the seasoning marinade?

[@LearnMandarinChinese]

I made this one, so easy, it fixed itself wonderfully on this dish---that there is a balance between cooking ways and result.

I like that apron. Its kind of like a shift / pinafore and appears to be made of a cotton gauze, very comfortable.

[@nancyfriedberg9516]

I LOVE that phrase; "you really can't mess these up." This duck garnered RAVE reviews. You need about two IQ points to make it. The first thing she says is “low and slow “.... so of course it’s Fahrenheit. I saw that she put a bulb of garlic in the pot. That was very yum as well.

[@leonardojaksic2394]

Surprisingly easy and pretty much foolproof. Tastes great every time.

Carla: this isn't exactly confit but it's way easier and yields similar results Everyone in the comments: wtf man this isn't duck confit i'm french af how dare you HOW DARE YOU

[@sungondese]

Well... It's not confit is it? Words have meanings...

[@seanonel]

Problem is that the title of the video explicitly states that it IS duck confit, regardless of any disclaimers made by Carla later. Venturing very close to the territory of clickbaiting...

[@TheSlayerDiary]

That's also definitely not what she said. She just said it's a different, easier recipe. She still maintains that it is duck confit, and it's not...

[@seanonel]

Cody Anon Yet the title still claims that its duck confit with NO disclaimer. Qualifies as clickbaiting to me...

[@TheSlayerDiary]

@@seanonel Thats what I mean.

[@candipluchino5495]

I made this for Christmas dinner and it was amazing! Adding ginger and garlic to the braise made the legs so.flavorful. They were tender and crispy. Absolutely delicious!

[@l.c.3787]

What is the temperature you are using, 250F or 250C? Thank you.

[@candipluchino5495]

@@l.c.3787 250 degrees F, low and slow

[@mhartan]

You get virtually the same outcome (in my mind a better outcome) by pricking the skin and baking the duck legs are a low temperature of about 250-275 degrees for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. No high temp at the end is needed. No dutch oven pre-cooking is needed.

[@barbaramcdonald5036]

Carla, you are hitting my favorite belly tamers. I adore Cassoulet and as we all know, you need this essential ingredient to make the perfect dish. Thanks...you have earned a brand new fan! BTW, a full confit recipe in under 5 minutes? WOW! My only addition is to say that I like to age my confit...so that it develops additional flavor along the way.

[@joso5554]

Barbara McDonald But then you need much more duck fat to submerge the wings into for conservation...

[@l.c.3787]

I've tried this today and it is so good. Super easy and delicious. Thank you for the great recipe.

That long sleeve rubbing the raw meat is driving me crazy :)

[@David35445]

It is in the oven right now, I did season mine more traditionally and pressed it for 48 hours. I'm thinking the fermented honey and garlic is the best idea ever for finishing. I will also pot mine in duck fat for storage and flavour. Can't be in a hurry for this dish.

jinkies: I'm not French, but I do like to age my confit in the fat it has cooked in, however many chefs these days don't (r can't) allow that kind of time...I think this is a really good fallback.

Would starting the dutch oven on the stove cold first help render the fat more? I always start bacon in a cold skillet to help render its fat.

Some people watch videos like this and get inspired to try new flavors and cooking techniques. Others watch this and act like they own the original dish despite never actually making the dish. The former are winners in life, the latter are losers. Pick your side.

[@meredithmonsantofils3532]

I always thought I needed a vat of fat to make confit... so making this. drool

[@samipso]

You do. But she's showing you how to make something similar to a duck confit. Basically roasted duck I guess.

[@gunhedd5375]

KevInKobe • It's not "roasting" when in a lidded pot at 250°F. It's cooking slowly in its own fat. May not be a "traditional" confit but as a finished dish it's fine.

[@matthewantonello5029]

that is still roasting. an oven is basically just a pot anyway, the walls heat up and sends radiant heat at the food soooo..... its not confit at all soz
