What to do with leftover duck
Hi, Roasted a duck smothered in marmalade last night, smelt gorgeous. But when cooked it was late and I was to tired to eat it. It's in fridge now and I don't fancy it cold. If I cut it in half is ok to reheat? Maybe micro, but would make skin soggy? Or, micro and crisp under grill? Help please!!
