you can but you dont have to it depends on how you like to eat it hope this helped :)

It would be a pity because the best flavor of a duck is in the skin and not in the flesh itself. If you have to take care about calories - for once, forget about it and enjoy !

What is the best way to cook a whole duck?

There are many ways to roast duck:Roast the duck uncovered on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast-side up, or roast on a vertical poultry roaster in a pan. For an un-marinated whole duck, allow 30 minutes per pound in a preheated 350° F oven. For a marinated duck, allow 22 minutes per pound at 375° F. or until internal temperature at the leg joint reaches 180° F.A vertical roaster is a perfect way to roast a whole duck. Even the beer can roasters work well with duck.When a roasted whole duck has completed cooking, the legs will move easily.When roasting a whole duck, place it on a rack in a pan, so the fat can drain freely into the bottom of the pan and duck doesn't sit in it. Line the pan with aluminum foil before putting the rack in it, and you have a very easy clean-up!Roast your whole duck without stuffing. Instead stuff the duck with an onion quartered, an orange quartered, or pieces of celery and carrots. This will keep the duck moist and add delicious flavor. Cook the stuffing in a separate dish.For a wonderful barbecued flavor, try grilling outdoors. For a whole raw duck, the best results come from first precooking it in your oven (following the package directions), and for the last 20-30 minutes, finishing it on the grill. This gives the duck a wonderfully crispy skin.--------------------------------------------------------------------Roast Duck Recipe6-8 servings!Ingredients1 (5 1/2-pound) duckling1 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper1 onion, sliced1 cup red currant jelly1 tablespoon lemon juiceDirectionsSeason both the outside and inside of the duckling with salt and pepper. Place the onion inside the duck. Truss the bird and prick the skin. Dry thoroughly.Place the duck breast-side up in a roasting pan and place in the center rack of a 425 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes to brown lightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast for 1 additional hour to 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove accumulated fat occasionally with a bulb baster.The duck is done to medium rare if the juices from the fattest part of the thigh or drumstick run faintly rosy when the duck is pricked, and when the duck is lifted and drained, the last drops of juice from the vent are pale rose. The duck is well done when the juices run pale yellow.Remove the duck from the oven, discard trussing strings, and place on a serving platter. Let sit for 10 minutes before carving.In a saucepan, combine the red currant jelly and the lemon juice. Bring to a boil, strain, and serve with the duck.

How do you roast sweet red peppers in the wood-burning stove?

Roast them until the skin turns black. Rotate them so they are black all around. When done place them in a paper towel and then into a plastic bag to let the condensation help the skin separate from the pepper. Wait 5 minutes and then wipe away the charred skin. The fruit and insides should be all that's left and it is recommended that you remove the seeds.
