1900s Polished Nickel French Duck Lobster Press Culinary Cooking Matfer Bourgeat
Located in Hyattsville, MD
Very good working shape. There are no cracks or chips to the iron. This item came from very old Washington DC French Cooking School Teachers Estate. Wheel diameter is 10 inches.
In the history of world cuisine, French chefs have been accused of being many things, but rarely ever "shy." The French tradition holds dear the notion of not only using every part of an animal, leaving nothing edible to waste, but also of celebrating certain dishes that that often make more squeamish diners fold their napkins away and politely excuse themselves from the table.
Used to create the most spectacular entree in classical French cuisine, the duck press is a device and method of preparation that was invented by a man named Machenet in Paris at the dawn of the 19th century, quickly becoming popular among the culinarily elite. The contraption, and its corresponding dish, canard à la rouennaise (or, "duck in blood sauce") was later adopted by Chef Frèdèric of the restaurant La Tour d' Argent (or "Silver Tower...
