What is the average cooking temperature for a duck?

Answer by  nermeen (7)

The way I do it - 390 deg F to 400 deg F, cook for 15 min plus 15 min per lb - so for a 2lb duck, roast for 45 min in a preheated oven.

I have kind of a theory about the temperature of cooking (in general), longer the time you cook something more intense will be the taste. I prefer to cook at small temperature. In the case of duck the temperature would be 70- 75 Celsius degrees

Typically, when roasting a duck, you want your oven temperature to be between 350 and 375 degrees (Farenheit). This provides for a quick enough cooking time, yet still allows the duck to remain moist and tender. Higher oven temperatures when roasting duck are typically to achieve crispy skin.

Cook at 325 degrees (on the middle rack of your oven) for 40 minutes per pound of duck. Therefore, a 2 lb duck will take you 80 minutes to cook.

There are many answers to this question, I preheat the oven to 400 degrees and cook duck for about 20 minutes per pound, use a meat thermometer for internal temperature.

A good rule of thumb for duck would be to measure it with a food thermometer. If it is below 165 then cook it longer.
