Re: Really yum: meringues: a not so caloric scd treat

[Guest guest]

thanks everyone for all the tips! I was told room temperature egg whites whip better?? I'll try cold. I also got a metal mixing bowl specifically for this.-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: My-Stitches@...Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:53:03 -0800Subject: Re: Really yum: meringues: a not so caloric scd treat

And be sure the bowl is spotlessly clean and dry. Beaters, too. And when

I was learning to cook back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, they told us

to make absolutely certain that not a speck of egg yolk got in the

whites, otherwise they would not whip. I know plastic bowls don't

work. But after following all the rules, I suspect pasteurized egg

whites is probably the main problem.

Yes, I think the problem may be your pasteurized egg whites. And

don't use the eggs at room temperature; the colder the better. And, in fact,

I'd also use a stainless steel or glass bowl, chilled. Don't use a

plastic bowl. And you do definitely need an electric mixer (which I assume

you're already using), on the highest setting.

I use an electric hand mixer, too, with eggs from the carton at refrigerator temperature. Works really well for me.On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 9:39 PM, spookyhurst <spookyhurst (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> wrote:

Ruth, I can't take credit for creating the recipe, only reposting it :-).

, are you using an electric mixer? My little hand mixer has 9 speeds, and I use 7 to beat the egg whites until stiff. Then I take the heated honey (I mix the salt and flavor in the honey), and drizzle it in with the mixer running on 1.

LOL.. .. how cute. Wish we could all come over and help

But... in the real world, it's not too hard to whip egg whites and I can just imagine how yummy those meringues are going taste to you - and how good its going to feel when you conquer this mountain

We're cheering for you!

That's good to know that one speck isn't necessarily the kiss of death to

the meringues.

I got a tiny bit of egg yolk in my last batch (for some reason, the

eggs were giving me a horrible time when separating), but all turned out

okay.
