To make duck dishes especially tasty, I will share with you the secrets from my culinary piggy bank.
- The best choice for cooking is a duck weighing 2–2, 3 kg. It is meaty and doesn't contain too much fat.
- Buy chilled carcass to make it easier to work with. If it is frozen, then the main thing is to defrost it correctly. For him, the bird is placed for a couple of hours from the freezer on the lower shelf of the refrigerator. After, continue defrosting until completely thawed at room temperature.
- It is not recommended to use a microwave or cold water for defrosting.
- If the bird has not plucked hairs, then burn them over an open fire or remove them with tweezers.
- Be sure to remove the coccygeal glands from the tail (duck tail). They give the food an unpleasant specific taste.
- For a more pronounced taste, the carcass can be marinated with any sauce. Then the meat will become more tender and juicy.
