I thought this was going to be about the fact that the traditional way of step 2 > 2. Air is pumped into the crevice between the duck’s skin and meat, allowing the skin to balloon and separate from the meat. Is to blow the duck up like a balloon with your mouth https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/687850/Saturday-Kitchen-viewers-turn-off-chef-blowing-raw-duck-China-Beijing-Ken-Hom-BBC1 https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/687850/Saturday-K... PS: it doesn't turn me off in the least and I find many food safety rules to be ludicrous, protectionism, and counter productive. For example: I find that the requirement to wear gloves while preparing food that I see people touching things they would be less likely to touch with their bare hands, touching, and then continuing to prepare the foods. For me, without gloves I can tell when my hands are dirty and wash them but when gloves I feel nothing and am therefore less likely to wash. Have no proof that this is true for everyone but I'm fairly confident that if I had hidden cameras looking for violations I'd find more for people using gloves than not. Also in a similar vain there's sushi https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/08/22/national/gloves-come-off-again-for-sushi-chefs-in-california/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/08/22/national/gloves... There are plenty of other bad food regs https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/11/americans-refrigerate-eggs-countries-dont/ https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/11/americans-r... https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/why-americans-dont-get-eat-delicious-raw-milk-cheese https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/why-americans-dont-get...
