- No, this falls under the category of Religious Wars. My own preference is
- to season the duck according to personal preference and then cook it
- *unstuffed* at 200F for 6-8 hours, depending on the accuracy of your
- oven's temperature regulator. All pathogens will be killed at this temperature
- so long as the bird is left unstuffed. Excess fat is rendered off and the
- meat is fabulously tender.
-
- As for seasoning: I would suggest rubbing inside and out with a mix of salt
- and roasted szechuan peppercorns, and placing a small onion and a few garlic
- cloves inside.
-
- Take the drippings collected in the roaster and chill. Skim off solidified
- fat. Bring to a boil together with the broth you made previously from the
- neck, liver, gizzard and an onion chopped up and cooked in white wine.
- Strain, reduce and thicken with flour. Serve meat (which will fall right
- off the bone) with a spoonful of gravy.
