Anyone here own their own?
They have a wide range in price. $500-$15,000. I’m looking in the free to good home-$500 range.

The name translates from French to say "Pressed Duck" or Duck Press.

You roast a duck. Trim the meat off. Put the carcass in this press. Turn the handle to squeeze/press/crush the shite out of the bones. All the juices are squeezed out into a pan. You use these juices to make a sauce.

Essentially it squeezes all the good stuff out of a carcass.

~Traditionally, pressed duck is prepared like this: The duck is strangled so as to retain as much blood as possible. The legs are cut from the rest of the body, and thinly sliced pieces of the breast are cooked in a sauce of reduced Madeira, butter, and cognac. The rest of the carcass is partially cooked for 25-30 minutes and placed in a duck press, and the waiter screws the metal disc down to extract the liquids and marrow from the duck, onto the cooked breasts.

I've inherited 2 of the $15,000 ones from my Oncle Pierre. We do pressed duck 3-4 times a month but lately have been using this one. Much cheaper, faster and honestly with a few modifications does a better job.

Antoines has one. Supposedly, you can call and arrange to get the dish made there.

I’ve got one of those. I was worried about the disc that does the pressing not being strong enough to handle all the torque.
