woodcock11 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 shame they cant all be as clean shot as these three. cant wait to get them in the pot :drool: . Very smart Please set my mind at rest - my first reaction is that they are plump mallard duck - I have just plucked some myself and they have a good layer of fat on them; then I had a tiny doubt they were geese but I don't think so....

Thunderbird Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 not a thing the misses likes done in the kitchen :lol: Actually I didn't make too much of a mess. Not sure if this applies to all birds but I kept a bowl of water handy to keep my hands wet and even though the sinks got a bit mucky feathers didn't billow about.

Ballymac Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Some people put a small amount of meth or similar fluid in a small holder, lid of polish tin etc, and light it and use this to burn off any remaining down etc... Well thats what I was taught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what I was taught. Yup....as above although i was told to roll up a newspaper, light it and just singe it off with that...

pavman Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I have a plumbers blow torch to flash off down but mine often have shot holes around the harris Edited January 10, 2012 by pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 most of the down can be rubbed off with your thumb when you are plucking then i put meth in a tobacco tin lid and light it then just pass the bird over till all the down is synged. all the synged down is then washed off at the end.
