Before any of you tow the party line yes yes the ovens aren't CE approved.

But those ovens have been used for years.

Well no peking duck and suckling pig for a while.

Aside from there size, is there any reason why the ducks couldn't be roasted in another type of oven, the temperature isn't excessively high?

To be honest not really.

We use a lincat in my place.

But those ovens are designed to allow for a lot of ducks to be hung vertically and they are small considering the number of ducks it can roast.

They probably produce better result for less effort being designed to roast ducks.

oh and they are probably cheaper too being made in china and not having passed any EU testing.

Gulp, to think i could have died on Sunday whilst standing next to one of those things in Brum Chinatown. Mind you i'd finished eating so i'd have died happy.

Even if all those ovens are shut down overnight it wouldn't be long before CE marked ovens took their place - the demand for roast duck & pork is overwhelming.

Last time i went to Wong Kei, their Duck Rice was £2.80! I'm sure it was this century too, what's the price now?

to be honest I wouldn't believe much of what I read in the mail nowadays (viz the recent Murat settlement or try reading Flat Earth News)

Given the outraged tone of the article I think its likely either untrue, highly exaggerated or at he's hugely one sided.

Don't fall for it...
