1. Clean a fresh duck and pump it full of air through the neck
to
separate the skin from the meat. (At home, a bicycle pump may be
used.) Pour boiling water over the duck three times. Carefully dry
duck, slit stomach, and remove innards. 2. Prepare marinade of hot
water, maltose, and vinegar. Rub
outside of duck all over with the mixture. 3. Hang the duck by
its neck at room tempera- ture, about 65
degrees, for at least 12 hours. 4. The next day, pre-heat oven
to 400 degrees F. Place duck in
pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn heat to 450 degrees F and cook
for additional 30 minutes or until the meat is tender and the skin
is crispy. 5. To carve the duck, place it breast side up and cut
downwards
towards the head. Slice thinly. Use only the outer slices-those
which have skin. Slice both breasts. Slice the legs, cutting from
the joint to the end of the leg. Discard remaining meat (without
skin) or use for another dish. (See part 2 for more)
