AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an antique duck press, also known as presse canard.
This culinary tool is used to press juices from roasted duck carcasses or shellfish to make sauces.
The press was invented in the 19th century in France by a chef named Mechenet.
It is a piece with a long culinary tradition and can be used both in the kitchen and at the table.
It became popular in the restaurant La Tour d'Argent, where the characteristic dish Caneton de Rouen à la Presse (duck in blood sauce) was prepared at the table for the guests.
The pressed juices, including blood and marrow, contribute to a uniquely rich and earthy umami flavor in the sauce.
the press is in reasonable condition but has been heavily used in the years it has been functional
the press is mounted on a nice piece of old wood to increase its stability in the kitchen
