Why is the weeping meringue a common issue in baking and how can it be prevented?
The weeping meringue occurs when moisture forms on top of the meringue, causing it to look wet or droopy. This can happen due to overbeating the egg whites or not baking the meringue long enough. To prevent this issue, make sure to beat the egg whites just until stiff peaks form, and bake the meringue until it is set and lightly browned. Additionally, avoid making meringue on a humid day, as moisture in the air can also contribute to the problem.
What happens when you put sugar in meringue?
A meringue is a mixture of stiffly beaten egg whites and granulated sugar (or sugar syrup) then cooked. Soft meringue is used as a swirled topping for pies, puddings and other desserts such as baked alaska. It's baked only until the peaks are nicely browned and the valleys golden. Hard meringues begin by being piped onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and rounded. They're then baked at a very low temperature (about 200°F) for as long as 2 hours and left in the turned-off oven until completely dry. Hard meringues often have a center depression that is filled with ice cream, custard, whipped cream and fruit.
What happens to baked Alaska when cooked?
