Char siu on the KJ III Sunday.
Brisket next weekend.
I was so close to buying the KJ Jnr as they had 30% off. But didn’t like the cast iron grate, gets blocked up too easily.

Just completed the first step of Peking duck, just tightened up the skin now have to hang it in the fridge for 24hrs.

Did you do it the traditional Peking way?

When I learned how it's traditionally done, it turned me off Peking Duck a bit.

The main trick with Peking Duck is that the skin needs to be slightly detached from the meat to get that real crispiness. The traditional way is to make a small incision near the neck then take a straw and blow in it with your mouth.

Something to keep in mind. When you're eating Peking Duck, you're also eating the spit of some old Chinese guy.

Did you have to shave it?
It’s the fuckedest feeling, shaving a dead duck.
I haven't done that myself but I imagine it's just like shaving your testicles.... Which I also haven't done.

It’s a full process. I can’t remember exactly but I remember there was a lot involved and was never bothered.

lol mayo as in mayonnaise. Yeah sounds weird but it’s a thing google it.

Coat your steak in mayo and pan sear in a cast iron or BBQ crate. Whichever, the mayo acts like a protective layer and oil. You’ll have a perfect seared crust steak.
