What ingredient prevents an egg from stiff peaks?
The presence of fat, such as that from egg yolks or any added fats like oil or butter, can prevent egg whites from achieving stiff peaks. Even small amounts of fat can interfere with the proteins in egg whites from properly whipping. Additionally, any residue of grease or oils on mixing equipment can also hinder the whipping process. For optimal results, it's essential to use clean, dry equipment and separate the egg whites from yolks carefully.
Why is it recommended that a copper bowl be used when whipping egg whites?
There's no reason why not. Just make sure everything--bowl, beaters, and egg whites--are at room temperature. Some cooks place the bowl of egg whites over the pilot light of a gas stove briefly (a few minutes) to take off the chill from the refrigerator. Be careful when using this method. You don't want to cook the eggs, just bring them to room temperature before beating.
How to whip egg whites by hand effectively?
To whip egg whites by hand effectively, start with room temperature eggs and a clean, dry bowl. Use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Be patient and consistent in your whisking motion to incorporate air and create a stable foam. Avoid over-whipping, as this can cause the egg whites to become dry and lose their volume.

Can you only use egg whites and sugar to make whip cream?
No, you cannot make traditional whipped cream using only egg whites and sugar. Whipped cream is typically made by whipping heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, which provides the necessary fat content for a creamy texture. While you can create a meringue using egg whites and sugar, it will not have the same flavor or consistency as whipped cream.

What can you do when meringue won't fluff?
The most common reason egg whites and sugar will not for stiff peaks is that a bit of egg yolk or oil has come in contact with the egg whites. If the bowl and beaters have a residue of oil from a previous use, that is enough to prevent egg whites from stiffening. Another possibility is that the sugar was added before the whites were partially beaten, or that the sugar was added all at once instead of gradually.
Which is better egg white or egg yolk?
If a recipe calls for "2 eggs," it means THE WHOLE EGG. If they want you to use the egg yolk only, it will say, "add the yolk of 2 eggs." If they want you to use the egg whites only, it will say, "separate the eggs and beat in the whites." To 'separate' an egg means to separate the yolk from the whites.
