Roast Duck Czech Style

Step 1

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and caraway seeds inside and out.

Step 2

Pour 1 cup water in a roasting pan.

Step 3

Put duck breast side down in 350° oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add more water as needed.

Step 4

These were ideas people had on other site since I've never cooked duck before they are worth seeing.

Ok the real Czech way is you put the duck on the breast side for an hour covered, then turn the breast side up for another hour covered again and then for tha last hour, put it down on the breast side, uncovered and we put water every 15 minutes on it, this way is really delicious and crispy----- 6 lb. duck, 1/8 cup salt, lots of fresh cracked pepper, 1 TBS caraway seeds. Mixed together, spread over and inside duck. Omitted water entirely. Foil covered & roasted for 30 min. on 375, then uncovered and roasted at 325-350 for 2 hrs. Crispy skin & fall-off-the-bone meat! Thanks!
