The modern rhythm of life to some extentlimits housewives' time for cooking culinary delights. However, this is not a reason to deny yourself good home-cooked food, because various kitchen appliances, such as an air grill, can come to the rescue. What is the main difference between cooking poultry this way and a dish baked in the oven? The answer is simple: you can cook without adding oil. In this case, the food retains vitamins and microelements in much greater quantities, so dishes cooked in an air grill are considered healthier. The cooking time of duck meat depends on the degree of convection (blowing), the baking temperature and the bird itself. A large village duck takes on average 30% longer to bake than a store-bought one. Check readiness as follows: pierce the duck's joint with a long skewer and press lightly on the prick site - the liquid that flows out should be free of blood. If you are cooking in an air grill for the first time and are afraid that the meat will remain raw inside, use a baking sleeve.
