OT Do you boil your duck ?

Hi Ken,

When I use to duck hunt I would put two wild ducks on one of those SS
Faberware electric counter top rotisseries for ~45 minutes. As soon as they
got hot and the juices started flowing, I would shake a little of everything
(powered spices) I could find on them. I would also stuff them with some cut
up whole orange too.

(You should kill, pick and clean them first or it can be loud and messy
too.)

I would eat one hot that evening and the other cold the next day. Lucky for
me that no one else in my family liked wild duck.

If you buy a frozen farm raised duck from the grocery instead
of shooting your own, you should drop it in boiling water to
cover and when it comes back to a boil, leave it for 7 minutes.
Remove from the water, pat it completely dry with paper towel
and use a hand held hair dryer on it for another 7 minutes.

Farm raised duck has WAY too much girdled fat, the boiling and
hair dryer heating causes the pores in the duck's skin to open
wide so that the fat ooozes out into the roasting pan during
cooking to make the beginnings of a great gravy instead of
staying in the duck to make greasy meat.

Just another helpful hint that will annoy someone, or better
yet a good many someones. ;-)
