What is French Meringue?
French Meringue is what most inexperienced cooks will just refer to as "meringue". It is made by whisking egg whites until soft peaks, then adding sugar a teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until stiff peaks have been formed. This mixture is then baked in a cool temperature oven until hard on the outside but soft in the middle. There is also Italian meringue, which is really useful for desserts when the meringue is only briefly, or not at all cooked. For example, baked Alaska. Italian Meringue is made by whisking egg whites to soft peaks, then pouring on a solution of hot sugar syrup, which cooks the egg whites. Then you continue to whisk to stiff peaks / until the meringue is cold. There is also Swiss Meringue. This is made with the same method as French meringue, however most or all of the sugar will be swapped to icing sugar (but not in the same quantity; usually more icing sugar is required than caster sugar). This produces a very delicate meringue.
Can you freeze Lemon Meringue Pie and Pineapple Cream Pie?
No. Meringue, which is made of whipped egg whites and sugar, does not freeze well. You could always freeze your pie prior to putting the meringue on it, and then make your meringue after you thaw the pie.
In lemon meringue pie where does gelatinisation occur?
The gelatinisation of the lemon meringue pie filling is dependent on two main ingredients: The sugar, and the corn starch. Adding heat to both these elements, along with liquid (in the case of lemon meringue pie, water and lemon juice) creates a rapidly thickening substance. A word of warning: the heated coagulated filling is extremely hot and sticks to everything...be careful to not get this on you skin, as it will leave a nice burn. Additional info: Gelatinization actually does not require the presence of sugar. Any starch and water mixture will cause gelatinization when heated to the proper temperature. Sugar and acid will affect the thickness of the gelatinized starch mixture and the rate at which is gelatinizes when heat is applied. In a lemon meringue pie there will also be some gelatinization occurring in the crust when moisture from the filling mixes with the flour in the crust.
Can you replace caster sugar with icing sugar in baking cookies?
In some cases yes, but not if you're making icing. Icing sugar is far finer grained, and as such caster sugar will not be an adequate replacement in this case. (Your icing will be granular and not set properly). You may be able to if it's a meringue recipe, but you'd be better off finding a recipe that does not use icing sugar to begin with.
Why does meringue slid off the pie when you cut it?
Usually meringue pies leak because only the top of the meringue is done, and the uncooked portion of the egg whites liquify. Put meringue on a hot filling and bake at 325 until it is golden brown to avoid runny meringue.
