Crunchy duck is often used as a low-fat version of goose and rightly so, as it has only about half as much fat and 2.5 grams more protein. The duck also scores points with magnesium and thiamine (vitamin B1), both of which have a positive effect on the nerves. At Christmas as a real stress killer.

The best side dish for a crispy duck: potato-celery gratin and red cabbage or baked Brussels sprouts.
roast duck is as low-fat as possible due to
the long cooking time and the fact that the skin around the legs and breast is repeatedly pricked. Important: If a lot of liquid fat remains in the spout of the fat separator pot when degreasing the fund, pour it off first
.
Usually 2 to 2.5 kg are calculated for 4 persons. The breed, age, sex and breeding or feed determine the taste of the duck. Female ducks, for example, are always juicier. Young ducks taste better, check the age at the sternum, it should be soft and flexible.
