It invented one of two famous ways to prepare Peking duck. At Quanjude the duck is roasted over a wood fire. This gives a different taste than the other method used by the other famous roast duck restaurant, Bianyifang </font><font size="+1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">便宜坊</font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> (Biányifāng).</font></p>
								<p><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bianyifang roasts their duck in a brick oven that has been previously heated with burning sorghum; once the walls are hot the ducks are placed inside and cooked with the heat given off from the walls. The sorghum gives an extra flavor. The two methods create a different taste and texture.</font></p>
								<p><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The duck is served in thin slices. At most better restaurants the duck is sliced near your table by an expert. The duck is eaten by placing a slice or two inside a very thin pancake called a bing. You then add thin slices of large scallions, sticks of cucumber and duck sauce - roll the whole thing up and bite. The duck sauce is as important to the brand as the method of preparation.  The famous restaurants do a brisk side business by selling their sauce both at the restaurant and in the retail market.</font></p>
