You are wasting money by buying milk instead of water?

Is that true? All the recipes I've looked at call for soaking in milk. I still have a lobe in my freezer I wanna make a torchon with.

Nathan Mhyrvold says no difference. All the French recipes I've ever seen say water with a little salt, but Thomas Keller...

Milk won't hurt, it is just not anything specific to milk which leeches blood and color, which is the reason you soak.

Great great color on that duck. Cooked perfectly. Sorry if it's obvious but can you tell me what you were doing/making in the pictures preceding the duck?

Thanks a lot. The preceding pics were of glazing/deglazing in the process of making what Michel Bras calls a "short" jus.

They don't, asshole. I had it stored like that only temporarily. I usually store my fish in the position they swim, but this was over 4 pounds and I hadn't a container large enough to keep him in.
