- The cooking time of a duck in the oven is about one to one and a half hours at 200 to 220 degrees. You can go up to 240 degrees for the last ten minutes of the cooking time so that the skin becomes crispy.
- Fresh from slaughter poultry takes a little more time than frozen food, because deep-freezing does this meat becomes crumbly and loose.
- Stuffed ducks take about half an hour longer. Tasty fillings include apples, chestnuts, potatoes, old rolls or everything mixed.
- To test whether the duck is already done, open the oven door, let the hot air flow out and, armed with pot holders or gloves, pull out the roasting vessel. Now pierce the leg with a meat fork. When the fork slides in easily and light-colored meat juice comes out, the roast is ready. However, do not take this test too often or too much juice leaks and the meat becomes dry.
