Other sizes of duck
Asked on 15 Jan 2019 by Anne Story
The Roast Duck with Sour Cherry Sauce in the Winter Collection is a great recipe but I sometimes have difficulty getting a duck of a weight close to the 2.7kg recommended. Often local supermarket ducks are considerably smaller and those from local farms are much larger. The last one I purchased was 3.4 kg and that was one of the smallest available! I wasn't sure how much additional time to add for such a large duck. So...
please could you advise what range of weight of duck would still cook well in the 2.5 hr cooking time? and,
what time for a smaller bird? what time for a really large bird?

Hello,
We have a few recipes that cover other sizes of duck.
This one is for a 2.25 – 2.27K duck and says allow another 30 minutes a 2.7K duck. 20 minutes at 220C then 2 ½ hours at 180…
Roast Duck with Cherry Sauce
This one (now our most used method) is for a 2k duck and is cooked for 2 hours at 230C …
Crisp Roast Duck
If I had a 3.4K duck I would do 2 ¾ hours at 230C (conventional setting). BUT I haven’t tested this!!
Best wishes
