I recently got a sous vide and now I don't think I will cook premium meats any other way. From guys that use sous vides when cooking duck, do you go traditional or reverse? Tell me which way is best if you've done both. TIA

You talking about the sear? With just about every application of sous vide, you'll just sear at the end.

I don't think searing it before sous vide-ing will work like you want it to

Ok. I've seen arguments to sear then sous vide

For just duck? I’ve never seen someone suggest to sear anything prior to sous vide.

If you're talking duck breast, there is absolutely no reason to waste time doing sous vide when you can sear it in a few minutes and get a great product.

If you're talking whole duck, I'm not sure.

Are you talking duck breasts or wanting to do something with the thighs?

Agree with other poster, if duck breasts, I'd score the skin, dry brine it for a couple hours and then cook skin side down on medium low for a good while before flipping and basting.

If confit, then maybe sous vide would be better option.
