ROAST DUCK???

DiAnne — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 07:46:21 GMT

I have a duck defrosting in fridge. I order duck often in restaurants but don't cook them at home. Anyone have any suggestions? I need all the help and direction I can get with this!

I use this recipe:

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crisp-roast-duck-235744

It's simple, comes out dark brown with crispy skin, and tastes great. The only change to the recipe that I recommend is to cut out the last flip and 45 minutes of cooking time.

I also recommend serving with a baked sweet potato and roasted Brussels sprouts.

They drain a lot of fat, so I would suggest you put it up on a rack. But I haven't done a duck in a long time. I like mine with orange sauce, but I don't have any tried & true recipes.

I would just salt & pepper the outside. Duck doesn't need anything fancy, except for the sauce, I don't think.

I love roast duck with orange sauce. Have yet to try one at home. Maybe next holiday season.

Stick the breast all over, with a fork, turn it breast side down on a rack, when almost done turn up to brown.

We like duck stuffed with rinsed and drained saurkraut.

Try the website...THE HUNGRY MOUSE.. the best way to roast a duck. I have used that method without fail everytime. Very time consuming but worth every bite after.

Any one roasted a duck in their Ninja?

Make sure to use a rack. Duck is very fatty so it needs good drainage.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Since I was going to be home all day I settled on marva's suggestion and used the low and slow directions on the Hungry Mouse website. It was delicious. I wish I had cooked two ducks!! I am thinking duck tacos maybe??

Hi DiAnne,

Here is the best Peking Roast Duck Recipe I have ever tried.

I usually serve it with fried rice which is easy to make and I put in plenty sliced fresh scallions.

The ingredients in the recipe can easily be found in Chinese markets, and some Chinese produce stores also carry them, as well as on the internet.

The internet web site link below gives full instructions with photographs, so if you have the time to invest and love a good Peking Duck, then this recipe is wonderful to try.

The end result will be just as delicious as the Peking Duck served in the most elite Chinese Restaurants.
