On the grill

Duck breast is conventionally served pink, closer to a steak than to chicken — start skin-down over indirect or gentle heat to render the fat slowly without scorching it.

Livsmedelsverket sets the same poultry floor for duck as for chicken, 72 °C; common restaurant practice pulls it far earlier. Cook it through if you are at all unsure of the source.
