½ Price Luv A Duck - Fresh Breast Fillets

Weight is variable, a single pack of 2 Breasts usually costs between $7 - $7.60

Can't go past half price Duck Breast! Cook fresh, or chuck in the freezer for later use.

Special is not listed in the currently weekly catalogue, but is available both Online, and in-store at Coles.

One of my favourite Simple Recipes - Chinese Duck and Rice:

Marinate 2 Duck Breasts for ~1hr with:
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce,
- 1 Tbsp Honey,
- 1 Tsp Sesame Oil,
- Quick shake of Chinese 5-spice

Cook Duck (Skin side down) on low heat in a frypan for ~5mins until skin is crispy, then pop in the oven (180 Deg) for ~20mins.
Slice and serve with Fried Rice!
Costs about $10, compared with $20-$30 down at the local Take-Away!

EDIT : Still seems to be on special this week online, so I've pushed expiry date to next week
- Cooked Duck Breast Peking Flavoured is on special this week also, not half price but $12/pack, so ~25% off.

    Is the whole duck on special ?

    • Danny441 on 22/01/2018 - 11:16

      Not online or at my local, just the breasts this time.

      Whole duck is 1/2 price at woolies ($12.49) - Frozen

      • samlor on 22/01/2018 - 12:49

        Currently listed online for $18.99 at woolworths.com.au but yes, has occasionally been discounted at both Coles & Woolies.

        • skysky on 22/01/2018 - 13:04

          Maybe it's certain stores only. I bought one just on Saturday from Chadstone (VIC).

    Cannot understand why duck is so expensive in Australia. It's not as if it's some exotic animal. For the amount of meat you get on a whole duck, the full price is crazy!

    • Hsinking on 22/01/2018 - 12:01

      have an Australian chicken right after having the duck then…

      Basically a monopoly by Luv-a-Duck.

    • Quantumcat on 22/01/2018 - 12:36

      Frozen ducks are only a little more expensive than frozen chickens per kg. Defrost and chuck it in a chicken roaster with rock salt. You don't have to buy the breasts separately.

    • garage sale on 22/01/2018 - 13:02

      not as popular as in asian countries so not as much is bred for consumption.
      if more people ate it the price would come down as farming and supply chain is streamlined.

      same with kangaroo meat …. should be cheaper but not enough demand…… venison , well deer is pest in some areas but it’s very expensive by the time it gets to shops.

      • Baghern on 22/01/2018 - 13:45

        Kangaroo meat is cheaper than prime beef

    • Sweetnsour on 22/01/2018 - 18:45

      Aren't all ducks free range? If you can fit less birds in a smaller area, then costs go up.

      I agree, had some in Hong Kong and it's definitely got the wood on duck.

      • garage sale on 22/01/2018 - 13:05

        there is a difference between buying a piece of goose and buying a while goose like you would whole chicken.

        they sell live geese at some of the markets and it’s actually affordable, but you need to buy a whole goose.

        • Mr Idiom on 22/01/2018 - 13:08

          Didn't realise they were selling at markets. Not sure I'd have the skills or the stomach to butcher and prepare a live goose.

        • Munki on 22/01/2018 - 13:36

          Will they help you prepare (i.e. terminate and pluck feathers)?

    • hippyhippy on 22/01/2018 - 14:14

    make sure to start your pan cold.

      So put it in the fridge first?

    • Daabido on 22/01/2018 - 12:49

      Why is that? Is it like cooking bacon, when you start the pan out cold?

      • Slippery Fish on 22/01/2018 - 13:02

        So the skin crisps properly.

        • Mr Idiom on 22/01/2018 - 13:10

          Also helps render the fat out properly.

        • garage sale on 22/01/2018 - 13:11
          +4

          hot pan, cold meat ….. you want to sear and crisp the skin and start to render the duck fat, but keep the centre of the meat pink ….. if it’s a cold pan, the duck will heat gradually through the centre as you get to temp where fat renders and skin crisps the duck is cooked through.

    • djprima on 22/01/2018 - 13:18

      Anyone could elaborate more? When to put the duck meat in?

      • chu-oh on 22/01/2018 - 16:43

        This - I can never get duck right. Should the meat be room temp too?

        • blehgg on 22/01/2018 - 18:45
          +4

          When I say cold - I mean under no heat.

          If you add a skin-on duck breast to a hot pan, the skin will contract quickly, tightening up and shrinking.

          Gives time for the fat to render, results in crispier skin, (not a smaller shrunken chewy piece of leather)

        • Quantumcat on 23/01/2018 - 10:13
          +1

          @blehgg: That's interesting, because when I fry skin-on salmon fillets I always heat the pan up first to get nice crispy skin (otherwise it boils in its own juices and is disgusting)

    • TimeOrMoney on 22/01/2018 - 18:13

      Or try the sous vide method if you have a cooker.

    • LarraineP on 23/01/2018 - 09:05

      Also, remember to score the skin and salt it (like a leg of ham) we cook these duck breast’s whenever they’re on special..yum

      to make asian bbq duck like in the shops you need a whole duck and one with the head attached ….. probabaly won’t see that at coles or woolies.

  • Del Boy on 22/01/2018 - 13:20

    Anyone know of any Coles in Perth that actually stock these?

    • marketingpolice on 22/01/2018 - 16:02

      Have never found one. They use to a few years ago and been told it is not a valid WA line. Shame ehn?

      • stinkydog on 22/01/2018 - 16:17

        They had it at Coles Ocean Keys but I haven't seen it for a while. Shortly after Aldi opened and sold duck for 1/2 the price, all of the coles and woolies in the area immediately stopped stocking duck.

  • bargainparker on 22/01/2018 - 14:05

    For whatever reason Coles link suddenly doesn't work in i.e. but works in chrome. Geez, technology these days. At least duck stayed the same.

    Cheers OP but Jesus what a mess. Definitely scanning at half price per kilo as per Coles website. However when I went to pay it scans at double the listed weight. So in effect the same sticker price. The poor manager at the store I eventually purchased these from was having a bit of trouble seeing the error. Anyway, we got there eventually.

    I wonder how many people have purchased this product without knowing of the reduction and then haven't checked the price/kilo and weight on the checkout monitor. Just that the price on the sticker is the same price on the docket.

    • Danny441 on 22/01/2018 - 18:19

      Bummer, glad you got it sorted eventually!
      We had the same issue last year at our local Coles and were pleasantly surprised to find that they fixed the issue straight away and gave us one of the packets for free, which was awesome!

      Definatly worth checking the price/weight on the duck packet AND the receipt to make sure you don't get overcharged!

      • neophyte2 on 23/01/2018 - 11:05

        Isn't that the law, if it scans too high they have to make the first free and subsequent at whatever the lower price is? Pretty sure that was the law many years ago in Victoria…

        • neophyte2 on 23/01/2018 - 11:10

          OK, did a quick bit of research. Seems many shops have a company policy that if it scans higher they will give you the first free. If this is the policy then the company is legally required to honor it. However, they are not legally required to have this policy. Tends to be a policy at big shops who sell low-priced goods.

        • 5cooter on 23/01/2018 - 12:04

          @neophyte2: I had taken two packs to the checkout and ultimately the store gave me the most expensive pack free and charged me well below the reduced price on the second.

    • neophyte2 on 24/01/2018 - 09:12

      Thanks 5cooter. My Coles had the same issue. No price on shelf, so I took two packs to get price checked and probably only because I'd seen your post I realised what was happening. Had to explain the issue several times, show the guy the Coles online price. He sent a few people "out back" to work out what was happening but eventually gave up on them returning and just processed at the proper price. I could have argued to get one free but didn't think it was worth the hassle.

    The cooking instructions on the label are pretty spot on,

    What the op claim would over cook it.

    Cook Duck (Skin side down) on low heat in a frypan for ~5mins until skin is crispy, then pop in the oven (180 Deg) for ~20mins.

    Because it was quite thick I did 11mins and 2.5mins, then 11-12mins in the over. Somewhat overcooked

    Otherwised followed Op marinating instructions,

    • Last Seen on 23/01/2018 - 17:39

      Thanks for advising, will have to try this asap

      • Baghern on 24/01/2018 - 14:15

        Note, it will be half pink. Its a red meat so thats ok,

        This is espcially important if you're going to save some for the next day for luch like i did.

        After nuking it it cooked a bit more, but was still nice and tender, though closer to well done now.

        If I'd cooked it well done the first time around it would have been terrible on reheating up

    • Baghern on 05/02/2018 - 22:37

      Because it was quite thick I did 11mins and 2.5mins, then 11-12mins in the over. Somewhat overcooked

      Little late, and hope I ddint burn anyone

      But it should have read 5mins, then 2.5mins, then 11-12min oven

  • Baghern on 24/01/2018 - 14:13

    Just checked, looks like its available for this week as well.

    Coles Broadway had heaps when I bought 2 on Sunday
