Cookbook talk:Long Island Roast Duckling

I had no idea that cooking a duck was any different than cooking chicken other than duck has more fat. When I started to look up recipes I was shocked to learn that it took 4 or more hours to cook. I have a vertical roaster, and thought that would be the perfect to cook a duck. I was, however, concerned that cooking for 4+ hours was going to leave me with a dry bird! I followed the recipe for the vertical roaster and it turned out perfect. The only change I will try next duck is scoring a diamond pattern into the duck skin on the breast. I'll also start cooking a few hours earlier! --Steve30813 (discuss • contribs) 16:14, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
