Dizzy duck
« on: February 02, 2018, 07:16:08 PM »


Found this hiding at in a freezer at the shops
( not a big fan of frozen meats but unless I got to the park with a big knife this will have to do )

This will be tomorrow nights dinner and I’ve eaten duck 🦆 never cooked 1 . Would the theory be just treat it like chicken ( temps)

And just allow a bit more time as it’s bigger and has more fat ??

Any tips or tricks ppl would be grate

Tonight I’m doing Pichana [emoji91][emoji91][emoji12]

You'll want to prick the skin carefully (you don't want to puncture the meat beneath the skin and fat) with the tip of a steak knife or something similar so fat can drain out as it renders while the duck cooks otherwise the duck will be extremely greasy/fatty.  I've cooked my ducks on the rotisserie to about 170 and they've been good.

Lightning’s advice is sound. You can also loosen the skin from the fat and meat by sliding your hands/fingers/butter knife carefully in between them. Rendered fat will also drain much better if you cook it vertically, that’s part of the reason why Chinese roast duck is hung. Serious eats has some good advice for cooking Peking style duck but it might be too late to start that process for dinner tonight.

Ok if a chicken shagged a pig duck is the result and I’ve done the math it wouldn’t work the other way round . I don’t understand why duck is so under rated its b e a utifull

That looks like it was an excellent meal. What did you do for the gravy?

Rendered fat will also drain much better if you cook it vertically, that’s part of the reason why Chinese roast duck is hung. Serious eats has some good advice for cooking Peking style duck but it might be too late to start that process for dinner tonight.

Thanks for posting that.  I took a good long read and I think I'll be trying that recipe very soon.

That all looks incredible. Duck is basically unheard of in my neck of the woods. I need to try it sometime.
