Then preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place the duck into a roasting bag. Roast the duck for as many hours as it weighs in kilograms. For example, a 2 kg bird will roast for 2 hours. About 10 minutes before the end of cooking, cut open the top of the bag and brown the duck, being careful not to spill the rendered fat.
