A Duck Press is a specialised culinary device designed to extract juices from the carcass of a roasted duck, traditionally used in the preparation of the classic French dish *Canard à la Presse*. Usually crafted from cast iron or bronze with a powerful screw mechanism, antique duck presses were found in grand hotels, restaurants and wealthy households and are now highly collectable as unusual examples of historic culinary equipment. *Related Terms*\ Cast Iron, Culinary Antiques, French Dining, Kitchenalia, Tableware.
