How to Get Crispy Duck Skin
Skin dryness, maltose glaze ratio and the heat curve — the three things that decide whether crackling shatters or bends, with typical values for each.

Why we write these
A lot of advice about Cantonese roast meats circulates as rule-of-thumb handed down person to person, with the actual numbers left out. We think that is backwards. Drying times, glaze ratios and heat curves are measurable things, and once you can measure them, you can repeat them.
Every article below started as a question asked during an equipment handover: why is the skin pale, how long should this hang, which oven size do I actually need. We answer the same way here as we do in person — lay out what is happening physically, give typical values to start from, then tell you which direction to adjust.
The figures quoted are starting points, not promises. Your climate, your bird size and your machine all move them, so treat them as the first run in a short series of tests rather than the final answer.
