Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Orange and duck make a great combination, with many praising the amazing taste and restaurant-quality result.
  • Ease of prep: Quick to prepare, with pre-cooked duck that only needs brief heating in the air fryer or pan.
  • Suggestions: Some recommend adding capsicum or feta to enhance the flavour profile.
  • Portions: A few found there was too much pumpkin relative to the duck; consider adjusting quantities to preference.
