Critical Success Points

  • Thorough cleaning of the duck to remove feather residues.
  • Blanch the duck to tighten the skin.
  • Baste with the maltose‑vinegar mixture to obtain a slightly crisp skin.
  • Refrigerate uncovered for 24‑48 h to dry the skin.
  • Roast at 180 °C while monitoring the coloration.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw duck with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Boiling water can cause severe burns; pour slowly and wear protection.
  • The oven reaches 180 °C – use kitchen gloves when handling the rack.
