- Oil for deep-frying

Directions
1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Rub liberally with salt and
pepper. Let stand 1 hour.
2. Place bird in a deep, heatproof bowl and steam 1-1/2 to 2 hours by the
bowl-in-a-pot method (see "HOW-TO SECTION").

4. Heat oil to boiling. Using a wire basket or long-handled Chinese
strainer, gently lower in duck and deep-fry, basting and turning, until
golden. Drain on paper toweling.

deep-fry again until crisp and golden.
