The oven's heat causes the protein in the egg whites to bind and form firm molecular links. Simultaneously, moisture in the meringue evaporates; as the wet meringue bakes, it loses more and more moisture, gradually going from wet to moist to chewy to dry. When baked at low heat, the meringue will remain nearly white while becoming quite dry. If the oven heat is high enough, sugars on the outer surface of the meringue will caramelize, becoming increasingly darker tan, then brown, then black if over-cooked.

How do you make baked meringue The crunchy type?

The most important thing when making meringues is avoid moisture. Therefore, don't make meringues on humid or rainy days. Also, avoid making them when doing other cooking. Moisture in the air will prevent them from drying completely and will make them "weep". Preheat oven to 120°C.

How do you make meringue crisp?

Meringues need to be baked on a dry day; humid weather causes the meringues to "weep" and be sticky. To bake crisp meringues, leave them in a slow oven (low heat, about 300 degrees F) until they are completely dry throughout. One method is to bake the meringues at the recommended heat for the recommended time, then to turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside the oven until completely cool.
