Cookinero 19 Mar 2025

The ideal cookware for the duck with cabbage recipe is a duck pan - a deep, thick-walled oval saucepan, medium or large in size. It creates the optimal temperature, preventing the dish from burning. However, it can be replaced with a cauldron or a regular saucepan with a thick bottom. Duck with fresh cabbage is best cooked with sweet and sour and juicy apples, the acid in the fruit will make the meat tender and juicy.
