Step 3
Bend the goose's head back toward its back. First, lower just the neck into the boiling brine for 4 seconds to set the shape; repeat two or three times until the shape is set. Then release the goose and lower the whole bird into the boiling white-cut brine. Simmer over low heat for 40 minutes, then lift out and drain.
Note: Remove the goose from the brine promptly once it is done to avoid overcooking, which would cause the skin to crack and look unappealing.
