2. Remove any packaging from around your duck
3. Take the bag of giblets out of the body cavity (but keep them, as they’re useful for making delicious stock)
4. Weigh the duck without the giblets.
5. It’s important to do this – don’t just use the weight on the packaging, as this includes the giblets
6. Place on a rack in the roasting tin, prick the skin all over an rub a teaspoon of salt into the skin
7. Roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes per 500g, plus 20 minutes extra until the juices run clear
