What are they like scrambled I wonder. My friend blows the egg out and then exquisitely decorates the shell.

Just followed your advice and enjoyed a perfectly cooked duck egg. Thankyou. I enjoy them poached as well. I prefer them to hens eggs now.

Perfect instructions, thank you.
I have just followed them and enjoyed a lovely duck egg for the first time. Not hard boiled as I usually end up with.
