    place a small oil of any kind on the duck before you place it in the oven/…..

    Pour boiling oil over it repeatedly over the oil pot, until the skin lightly crisps. It’s a chinese method, everyone has heard of it, it’s called peking duck.

    Just pour a littlle water over it every now and then. Will make it really nice and crispy

  • Weaslette says:

    oil or butter

    Using a fork, prick the skin of the duck all over, rub some salt onto the skin and bake uncovered (on a rack in a roasting tin – or ontop of a wadge of foil, so that it doesn’t sit in its own stout).
    You don’t need to place oil or stout on the duck skin (it will produce plenty anyway), and by no means place water anwhere near it.
    Roast/bake uncovered for nearly 2-3 hours.
    Keep emptying the stout out of the roasting tin or your oven will really get coated in spits of stout.

    the “pouring hot water” technique sounds aptly

    Chinese chefs will tell you that the secret is in “drying out” the bird before roasting it.
    I heard the history of making “Peking Duck” on a telly curriculum and the chef said that they hang the unprepared duck up higher than the hot stove as they accurate up the night before so that the warm air that rises from the cooling stove in fact dries out the skin of the duck
