Cooked exactly as written and it worked beautifully. It was my first duck and, thanks to you, it won't be my last.

My first duck, and I was so impressed! Duck is a little pricey in my area, so it won't be a regular, but it will be a Very Special meal. Followed the directions exactly, and will not try to improve on perfection! Defatted the broth and it makes the best! brown rice, Thnx for posting such a wonderful recipe, Tebo.

Posting this so someone else doesn't make the same mistake... Trying to avoid the 300%+ of daily fat the recipe shows, I removed the skin before making this. BIG MISTAKE. Couldn't put it in the oven really after 1hr simmering - would have become leather. Leave the skin on if you want this to work - I'll try it again another time when I'm feeling lean. : }
