Prep:
  1. Remove the Honey Roast Duck from the package and place it on a tray.
  2. Toss and massage the duck to refresh the marinade.
Pressure Cooker On The Hob (Time: 70 – 75 minutes)
  1. Recommended only if you have a large, thick bottomed pressure cooker that would comfortably fit a whole duck. If it isn’t thick bottomed, it might turn entirely black.
  2. Place a thick bottomed pressure cooker on a low flame. Chop an onion and two carrots into thick dices and add it to the pressure cooker. Next, add a little oil and place the duck such that the breast side is on the vegetables. Close the pressure cooker but don’t place the weight on the lid.
  3. Cook over a very low flame for about 75 minutes. Once cooked, open the lid carefully and allow any moisture to fall back into the pressure cooker. Carefully remove the bird onto a serving dish and place the vegetables beside it too.
  4. Deglaze the pressure cooker by adding some water to it and gently scraping the surface. You’ll be left with a thick, shiny sauce that you can use to coat the duck before serving.
Roasting in an Oven (Time: 70 – 80 minutes)
  1. Warm up your oven to 160℃ or Gas Mark 4. Grease a baking tray with a teaspoon of oil and place the duck on the tray. Cover it completely with aluminium foil and place the tray in the preheated oven. Let it cook for 50-55 minutes.
  2. Remove the baking tray from the oven, take off the aluminium foil, and use a spoon to pour the juices that have collected on the tray over the meat. Increase the temperature of the oven to 210℃ and place the uncovered duck back in the oven. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until the skin turns golden-brown.
  3. Once the color is achieved and the skin becomes crispy, remove the tray from the oven. Place the bird on a serving dish and once again drizzle the juices that have collected in the tray over it.
Serving Suggestions:
  1. Let the Honey Roast Duck rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
  2. Serve with the roasted vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes for a delicious Christmas spread.
