Thai spiced duck breasts

and Seal on level 3.
4. Place the bag into a perforated steam container. Place into the combi steam oven and Sous-vide at 55°C for 1 hour.
5. Remove the duck from the bag and trim excess skin from the breast. Lightly score the duck’s skin.

7. Change the function to Combi mode: Grill setting 3 + 0% moisture + 10 minutes.
8. Place the tray on shelf level 3. Grill for 7 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the fat has rendered. Rest the
