Duck Instead of Turkey

For a different take on Thanksgiving this year, I served a whole duck, which was delicious! This recipe worked well; the duck took 2 hrs to cook whereas the recipe says 2.5 hrs. The duck was cooked to perfection and the potatoes underneath were amazing!

Tough Duck

I have prepared many ducks with my slow roast method,5-6 hours at 275. Even though the meat pulled away from the leg,carving felt like wrestling an old bird. It was tough and sinewy and the only edible parts were the breasts. Which I removed and served with a shallot port sauce. All the previous ducks I’ve ordered have been succulent and tender. This was similar to eating wild fowl,not much flesh and chewing becomes a chore. So disappointing since I usually order a few for Christmas.

*From USWM: Thank you for your honest feedback. Our whole duck is very popular and generally a much loved product. A credit has been returned to you. Please note we suggest reducing the cooking time, cook on a rack in a covered pan, remove cover during the last 30 minutes +/- for best results.

One of the best things I’ve ever cooked

I hung smoked my duck, made a great sauce to go with it, and it was literally one of the best meals I’ve ever made, in a lifetime of cooking and being a chef. Eliza said “we’re getting more of these”, and she’s right! Definitely ordering again.

Love these ducks!

We have already tried and loved several of these ducks. Slow roast, eat, and then make broth. We saved fat to use for cooking greens later in the week. Awesome stuff. Just reordered

Great duck but neck only

Yes this is a great duck but as a previous reviewer said, it is the neck only in the cavity. Now I can take my hand out of this duck and be confident I'm not cooking packaging for something I missed.

Delicous Duck!

The ducks are a great size and rich in flavor, meltingly tender. I was very disappointed that there was only a neck stuffed in the cavity. The description say, "giblet pouch included", so when I prepared three of the ducks, I was excited to make a duck liver mousse. I ordered five ducks so we'll see if the remaining have the giblets.

Yum

I decided to be a little adventurous and happy I did. I have never had duck before and it was pricey yet delicious. Since my finances are tight, I will surely purchase again but only when on sale.

full of flavor

We just had this for dinner tonight and I have to say it was the most flavorful duck I have ever had. The family was fighting over what was left. It was a good size bird too!
