Wild duck gets brested and marinated in Italian dressing and grilled. Will do roasted duck again. Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.

I forgot to include that in post number one. This allows the juices to be gradually pulled back into the center as it cools. Cut it too soon, and all the moisture in the meat will quickly drain out onto your carving plate where it does nobody any good. This procedure also allows you to handle it without burning yourself while carving. Only handle it with kitchen tongs till time to carve, so you make no deep holes in it through which juices can escape.

I believe the superficial holes on the breast are to allow the excess fat (of which there is a lot in a duck) to drip away during the low heat phase of cooking. Only puncture the skin, not the meat. Salt, I believe, assists in crisping the skin.

I wouldn't use those till it cooled down for fifteen minutes. Then they would be a big help in carving.
