Leaving the oven unattended

[t1grm]

Just put the roast duck in the oven for dinner. It’s going to take 3.5 hours to cook. I’d dearly like to pop down the pub for an hour or so but I’m on my own in the house. Do you reckon it’s safe to go out and leave the oven on unattended or should I stay and supervise it (in case Daffy tries to escape)? Nothing else is on ATM but I don’t want to burn the flat down.

Give it a quick baste before you leave and it will be fine. 3.5 hrs, blimey that must be a HUGE duck! I've got a 8.5lb goose that will only take 2.5hrs.

According to my books, 180deg, 30min per pound.... your duck must be 6lb

Of course, if you want to turn your duck into a soul singer, you could always microwave it until its bill withers!

Thanks for the info. Pub duly patronised and Daffy is fine. FYI it’s a 4 lb duck and I’m doing it at 150 dec C for 3.5 hours (nice’n sloooowwww baby…).
