How can ducks pluck their feathers the fastest? Every time they want to eat ducks, they are always trapped by the problem of duck feathers.

Hello, I'm Xiaohong, and I love food.

Tell everyone how to pluck duck feathers better with my personal experience.

1. Pour the white wine before killing the duck, and wait 10 minutes or so. After the duck's blood is drained, after the duck does not struggle, put cold water to soak the whole body feathers. Boil a pot of water to make bubbles, put the duck in, scald it all over, try to pull it out, turn it over again, and scald it all over when you feel hard. Take it out. It's much easier to pull it out Duck feathers are difficult to get wet by water, so it is much easier to soak them in cold water in advance and then scald them in hot water. Fill the duck's pores with white wine in advance, so that the duck's feathers can be easily pulled out.

2. After releasing duck blood, soak duck hair in cold water. Boil the duck in hot water until it bubbles, put a handful of salt in it, and scald the whole body evenly, so that the duck feathers can be easily pulled out.

3. If the duck is molting, pull off the long hair and cover it with thin black hair, even if it is filled with white wine and pickled, it will make people dizzy. I'll teach you a good method. When I was a child in the countryside, my mother bit one end of the rope with her mouth and pulled the rope tightly with both hands to unscrew the fluff from my sister and me. This method can also be used on ducks, which is effective and fast. Don't ask me how I know, because I have done experiments, haha.

Seeing this topic, I can't help but think of the situation of killing ducks at home before. We are a northern city here. In the past, ducks were mostly raised to lay eggs. We locals generally don't like it, because ducks have a fishy smell! So it is cheaper to sell ducks here. Generally, the price of live ducks is less than half that of chickens.

There is a neighbor at home, and his hometown is from Jiangsu. As soon as he arrives in winter, he likes to go to our country party. Every time he comes back, he will buy at least four or five ducks and then slaughter and pluck them in the yard. Neighbors see that he often buys it, which is really cheap. Ducks that don't lay eggs or shit are cheap. Everyone asked him how to eat ducks and how to cook ducks, and gradually everyone began to try to cook ducks. At that time, I learned the trick of waxing ducks!

Ducks usually shed their skin easily in winter, because a layer of fluff has grown in their bodies to keep out the cold. But there are several ways to master:

Duck meat, which is cold in nature, has the effects of nourishing, nourishing stomach and tonifying kidney. In particular, fresh duck is delicious, such as Beijing roast duck and Beijing famous dishes, which are very delicious and deeply loved by some consumers. In addition, there was a meeting that duck meat could cure tuberculosis, but it was not proved.

Duck feathers are difficult to pluck only under certain conditions, and they are very easy to pluck under normal circumstances.

The season of eating ducks in Xinyang is in the Double Ninth Festival. At this time, all the ducks have grown up, the rice has been harvested, and there is no rice leaked from the field as food for the ducks. Growing up, there was no free-range food, and that day was the anniversary of the death of the little drakes.

The ducks at this time are tender, fat and beautiful. The only drawback is that it is difficult for Mao to hold a title. Ducks have just grown up at this time, and it will soon be winter before they begin to grow winter feathers. It's easy to pull out when it grows, but it doesn't grow at this time. It just appeared. So, you can't burn it or pull it out. I've tried many methods, but nothing works, such as pouring soju before killing and scalding it with hot water several times. Finally, I clamped the pig hair with tweezers and pulled it out one by one. It takes at least two hours for a duck.

Then there was a trick, and the rosin pot was depilated. Melt the rosin in an iron pan, put the duck with heavy hair removed in it, remove the rosin before it gets cold, and then stick off all the wool piles. If you don't clean it thoroughly once, try again. But later it was said that rosin was carcinogenic and was not allowed to be used. Later, it was said that with edible rosin, this method could be used again. But those who think ducks are sold in the vegetable market still use rosin to pull them out. It doesn't matter. It's very convenient to buy ducks. Clean them after slaughter, gut them for free, and even chop them up for you.

However, when the ducks continue to grow and enter the early winter, the hairs grow together. It's much easier to clean up at this time. There are no new piles of hair, and all the mature feathers are ironed, and some of them are washed.

There are countless ducks, countless plucking ...

1, the difficulty of plucking duck feathers is not whether you have mastered the correct method, but the duck itself.

The so-called method is to give the ducks a glass of wine with high-temperature hot water of about 90 degrees, and even some people play with things like heat expansion and cold contraction ... In fact, except for the moderate water temperature, it has little significance.

2. Anyone who has raised ducks in batches knows that there are many kinds of ducks, one of which is called the hairy duck. This duck is delicious, but its hair is absolutely difficult to pluck. So this kind of duck is a bit difficult to sell in the market, and the price is often lower than other ducks.

3. Ducks have a period when their hair is the hardest to pluck. This period is called molting period. Therefore, anyone who wants to eat ducks himself will avoid this kind of ducks in molting stage, because these hairs are either deep and strong, or just show a little, so that you can't start at all.

4. I am especially careful about the ducks bought in the supermarket, because few ducks slaughtered in a centralized way will not find rosin, asphalt and other substances in the skin, hair follicles and other places, especially near the wings. These rosin asphalts will seriously affect people's health if eaten. -Look out, everybody.

Of course, the dead duck is scalded with 80 degrees water and rubbed back and forth, just like duck feathers fully absorb the heat of water. Under the action of boiling water, the pores of duck skin are thick, which is the best time to peel it off a little. If it's not good, you can also put some white vinegar in the boiling water and roll it in the boiling water with the ducks, which is more delicious than without vinegar. The vinegar-scalded duck is particularly fragrant and delicious.

Hello, everyone, I'm Lan Ji, winner of Qingyun Project in the food field, and I'll answer your questions.

How to pluck hair the fastest? Friends who have personally killed ducks and chickens know that chicken feathers are easy to pluck, but duck feathers are difficult to pluck. Eat one duck at a time and pluck the hair.

If you meet that little Drake and his hair grows a little, it's all over. Pull out one by one with tweezers, and a duck can come down in two or three hours. It is really pulling people out. I want to eat two bites directly with the duck in my arms.

So my 1 answer to this question is, if you meet this little drake who just started molting, oh, oh, that's over, I'll slowly pull you out!

Therefore, people who can buy ducks will definitely avoid this little drake. Although this kind of duck is thin and tender, its bones are fragrant and its soup is fresh. But it is the most patient.

Zhang Lan, a great naturalist in Ming Dynasty, loved this kind of duck very much and named it "Shuifeng". But when he was 50 years old, he stopped eating this kind of duck. Because in the long-term depilation work, one of the two full-time servants had a nervous breakdown and committed suicide by jumping into the river. He was so angry that he banned all ducks from now on.

In addition, there is another kind of duck. Old people in Henan call it "Tibetan duck", and some places call it "Fanmao duck". Although this kind of duck has good meat quality, its price is relatively low. Because there is no way to thoroughly clean wool except asphalt and rosin. So don't buy this kind of duck when eating at home.

Therefore, asphalt and rosin are also common methods to remove duck feathers outside. Relatively speaking, asphalt is more harmful and rosin is less harmful. Now the slaughterhouse uses edible rosin, which is also called rosin glyceride.

(Food-grade rosin: rosin glyceride)

This rosin is relatively pure. Except for 90% of the active ingredients, other 10% are neutral, and various acids are relatively healthy. However, China has entered an era of mutual harm. Do you have any evidence that people use edible rosin?

It is an expedient measure to pour vinegar and wine, but it has little effect. Many people regard it as the golden rule, but it is actually through my repeated experiments.

Vinegar is only used to make ducks easier to cook, and it has nothing to do with plucking. Drinking wine can raise the temperature and relax the pores of ducks, so it can promote plucking to a certain extent, but this effect is not obvious.

So the key to pulling ducks is the water temperature. Generally speaking, the water temperature is between 80~90 degrees, and it should not be too hot, otherwise the hairy meat will be taken down, just like a duck being punished.

So all the answers in this question and answer are how to pluck hair from the perspective of food. Have they ever wondered why it is difficult to pluck the feathers of ducks? What is the difference between a duck and a chicken?

Have you ever found that you have only seen a drowned rat, but you have never seen a drowned rat? I want to ask everyone, why is this? Actually, the answer is simple. Because chickens are terrestrial birds, feathers are no different from ordinary birds. Rain is cool for it.

As for ducks, we can often see ducks rubbing their feathers with glands close to their noses, and there is far more oil under their skin than chickens. This causes duck feathers and skin to be covered with a layer of waxy oil.

So this is why hot water easily penetrates into chicken skin, making its pores loose, which makes it very easy to pluck hair. And ducks, because of the protection of this layer of waxy fat, it is difficult for water to penetrate into the skin and their pores cannot be relaxed. How can they pluck their hair easily?

Then the final answer is, since it is a grease protector. I just need to add some big alkali (edible sodium carbonate) to the water to wash the grease off his body.

So I suggest you pull ducks in the future. In the water for scalding ducks, first put a little edible alkaline noodles, stir to melt, and then add duck soup. You will find that ducks are very easy to soak and their hair becomes very easy to pull out.

We sometimes need some scientific knowledge when dealing with ingredients. Not just by experience. For example, this method suddenly occurred to me, and I found that pulling ducks was not a problem at all. Shorten time and improve productivity. Why not?

When slaughtering ducks, the biggest headache for many people is plucking their hair. Ducks often cover their feathers with fat secreted by themselves, so that they will have a thin layer of fat and will not get wet by water. Therefore, after ducks are soaked in hot water, although water has degreasing effect, it has little effect. Hot water does not easily penetrate into duck feathers, which makes its pores swell. So it is difficult to pluck duck feathers. The following methods can effectively remove hair:

1, alkaline water, soak in hot alkaline water first, wash the grease off the duck feathers, and then pull the feathers out easily.

2. Before killing the duck, drink a spoonful of wine, cut off the neck, bleed, inflate, soak in 70-degree hot water, soak the duck's body first, then soak the duck's head and neck, and soon the duck's pores will open, and then pull along the duck's hair, so that the duck's hair can be easily pulled out.

3, add salt, add a spoonful of salt to the hot water to scald the duck, so that all the fluff is scalded. This is also the trick to pluck duck feathers.

In addition, if someone thinks there is fluff on the duck skin and wants to remove it, smear it with high alcohol, light it with a lighter, and then clean it immediately!

It's best to use good carriage and poultry wax to remove the hair of ducks quickly. This brand of hair removal wax is very convenient to operate and very sticky, which is suitable for the majority of poultry processing professionals. Especially roast chicken shops, roast duck shops, workshops, restaurants and other units. Hair removal wax can save your labor cost, improve work efficiency, and free you from the dirty and tired hard work of manual plucking of poultry for thousands of years. The use of poultry hair removal wax is equivalent to manual hair removal by more than a dozen people, and the effect is better than that of human hair removal. The use method is also relatively simple. Just melt the wax and water in a pot, then put the duck in to hang the wax, then pick it up, cool it in cold water, and pluck it.
