The Secret to Perfectly Grilled Peking Duck

The secret to a perfectly grilled Peking duck lies in the art of temperature control. Too high of a temperature and the meat will dry out, too low of a temperature and it won't be crispy enough. That's why we use a modern oven with precise temperature sensors to ensure that the temperature stays constant throughout the cooking process.

Starting with Low Temperature 

It's important to understand that grilling at low temperature initially serves to slowly and gently cook the meat to make it juicy and tender. During this phase, the meat is typically kept at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes before the temperature is gradually increased.

High Heat for Crispy Peking Duck

Then comes the heating phase, where the temperature is gradually increased to make the meat crispy. During this phase, the duck is typically grilled for another 50-60 minutes at 200-220 degrees Celsius. The degree of crispiness may vary according to individual taste, but the goal is to achieve the perfect balance between juiciness and crispiness.

Temperature Matters

The most important thing is to carefully monitor and adjust the temperature to ensure that the meat doesn't burn or become too dry. An experienced grill master will be able to regulate and control the temperature accurately to create a perfect Peking duck.

Grilling Peking duck is an art that requires time, patience, and experience. But when done right, the result can be an unforgettable culinary experience.
