And that is eating duck. You guys been eating any? Let's see some duck eat pics... Cooked these mallard duck legs last night. I seasoned with black pepper, garlic powder, and Lawry's season salt.... You want to sear good to get the caramelization, but you got to cook the hell out of duck legs to make them tender, so into the preasure cooker, add all the good stuff from the skellit.. Add some red wine (good red wine, I used Sterling cabernet), and some olive oil... After about 10 minutes on pressure cooker, add sliced mushrooms (man do they cook down!)... Add some more wine as needed, and I also add some Worcestershire, Heinz 57, and A1... Cook duck legs till tender... Mallard breast on the skillet with some bacon.... Take off med rare, and ladle some of that duck leg mushroom sauce ontop, man you are in heaven...

How long do you leave the legs in the pressure cooker?

How long do you leave the legs in the pressure cooker? It will take at least 30 to 40 minutes. You need to check on it and make sure you are not ruining out of moisture, add water if need be, if you add too much water you can always cook it off. Hard to over cook it. I have done them before w/o the pressure cooker and takes forever to get them to go tender.

Seems like it would over cook them but clearly it does not. I've never even used a pressure cooker...is it like a double pot...with the first pot holding water and the second one the actual food?
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

Seems like it would over cook them but clearly it does not. I've never even used a pressure cooker...is it like a double pot...with the first pot holding water and the second one the actual food? A pressure cooker is simply a pot where the lid screws on, and there is a valve on the top that releases steam so it does not blow up. They are dangerous, and you never want to open one while steam is coming out the valve. I did that once many years ago, food all over the kitchen and I'm glad I had a good grip on the top. The only way you can over cook it is that you cook it so long it goes so tender it falls all apart. Pretty hard to do I think. If you run out of moisture it will burn, need to watch for that. I would cook in 10 to 15 minute increments and check on it. The 7th pic from the top was after about 10 minutes, and then I added the mushrooms (which produces moisture), and cooked for another 15 minutes and that is the other pics I posted, I cooked for about another 10 to 15 minutes, and there were pretty tender then. And the next day I cooked them some more on the stove (4/6 pic), and I had to really be careful and not stir with a spoon or it would have fallen apart. All night on the crock pot would be another good way to cook them, I have never tried... Here is another time I cooked them, ladled over a rib eye steak..

I leave the skin on and drop them in peanut oil! I have deep fried them before, still tough, even done rare.. The only way to get them tender is cook the hell out of them...I imagine yours were tough, even with the skin on.

I don't have any pictures to show, but i can explain my favorite way to prepare and cook my ducks.
Take the breasts marinade for 24 hours in a ziploc with Italian salad dressing. 1 box Uncle Bens brown rice 1 white onion chopped 1 bell pepper chopped 2 eggs scrambled 2-3 seeded and chopped Jalapeno peppers 1 heaping spoonfull of minced garlic 1/3 stick of butter 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sear and cook duck breasts to rare, cut into cubes. Boil rice as explained. Put bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, garlic and soy sauce in pan, carmalize. Add drained rice, butter, and eggs to the veggies, cook until eggs are done and rice isn't so "gooey". Mix in duck cubes with rice and serve.
Hope my country boy explanation of this is understandable, and i hope yall give it a try. My old man calls it duck fried rice...

Bump for FowlDreams...he was looking for the duck leg post I made, had to dig it up.
Got me a bag of mallard legs in the freezer I need to cook before season starts, as well as a lot of mallard breasts. I always like to eat all the duck in my freezer befor season starts...

Thanks Guy. I threw some breasts on the grill that sat in water and some Americas Finest seasoning from San Angelo for about 6 hours. Med rare. Tasted like a good sirloin. The legs and res of the breasts I'll do tomorrow👍

Wasn't much of a hunt. Told the gf to shoot it. She said nah.
