Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. This was easy to do and came out delicious. My duckling was 4.5 lbs and steamed to 180 degrees F in 1 hour and 20 minutes. An additional 20 minutes in the oven. So easy.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
