How To Make red roast duck instant pot

  • 1
    Pierce the skin of the duck with a toothpick to render the fat. Dry the duck. Place all the ingredients in the pot of the Instant Pot except the dark parts of the scallions. Select saute. Bring to a boil.
  • 2
    Turn down to low medium heat. Place the duck breast-side down in the pot, filling the cavity with the liquid. If the duck isn't completely covered, add water until it is. Take a metal bowl with a lid filled with water and place it on any part of the duck that is peeking through the liquid.
  • 3
    Simmer the duck for 30 minutes. Remove the duck from the liquid and set aside. Strain the liquid and discard the solids. Put through a grease separator. Place the duck back into the pot, breast-side up. Pour about 2 cups of the liquid back in over the duck. Secure the lid and pressure cook for 15 minutes.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, place the remaining liquid in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes to reduce more.
  • 5
    Natural release the duck. Remove from the pot and place on a baking dish. Brush with more of the reduced sauce. Place under the broiler set on high and broil until the skin is crispy and browned. Make sure to watch it so it doesn't burn.
  • 6
    Serve with sauce and garnish with the dark green parts of the scallions.
