Wut? Is this an actual cooking technique?

    As a Certified Chef™️ of a Small Ship,

    I can confirm that this is a legitimate, highly technical cooking procedure.

      Wow that’s interesting, also it’s interesting that you work as a chef :), what does that do to the duck? if you don’t mind me asking.

        It’s how you make crispy duck skin in Peking duck. I haven’t seen the drama, but we in the West would use a bicycle pump or air compressor: https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2010/02/homemade-peking-duck-how-to-blow-up-a-duck.html

          Thanks for the link, I never knew this was a technique, then again I rarely cook. 🙂

        😂 Ok, I was 100% joking on my title, but @ally-le is right! Peking duck is the best, btw.

        I am merely a home chef, who cooks for fun but is obsessed with learning different techniques, styles, and the scientific background of food.

        My title came from @letseatcookies.

          Lol, well you caught me, although I admit the trademark seemed suspicious XD.

            😂😂 I apologize for the confusion! I am a perpetual jokester (nothing practical, just a silly human being).

            No worries you don’t have to apologize, I also enjoy joking from time to time, it’s just that sarcasm doesn’t translate well through the internet, I’ve been there before :).

            Aw, I know. Conveying emotion and meaning through text on a web is hard (unless you’re Charlotte) but I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic, just silly. 🙁

            Sorry if I described it wrong XD. I enjoy sarcasm though, I know sarcasm can be used in a mean spirited way but it can also be used to be clever which I actually do a lot with my friends. It’s actually the humor we use with each other a lot.

            But I get that you were just trying to be silly, no harm done 🙂

            OH ok. No, you’re fine. 😊 I just never know when someone just says “sarcasm” if they’re hurt or just using it for descriptive purposes. The internet can be a very sensitive, savage dragon, so I never know. But thanks for understanding!

            Yeah I know what you mean about the internet, I’ve been there before.

            😂 Pretty sure I could say something as innocent as, “I love cheesecake.” and 10 comments later, someone will be ranting about the government and pipes.
