How long does it take to cook meringue in an aga?

Answer 1

Meringue (beaten egg white and sugar) can be cooked in the coolest oven in the Aga. Meringue doesn't really cook it dries out and the object of many cooks is to dry the meringue until crisp with as little browning as possible. This can be done by piping the meringues on to non stick cooking paper and then leaving in the coolest oven overnight. There's no fixed timing . They're done when they're done. Do note that the temperatures involved are low and consequently for food safety it's wisest to use pasteurised egg white particularly if the meringues are to be served to pregnant women, old people or those whose immune system is compromised by illness.
