You want small bubbles of air to lift the egg white protean so that the meringues will be light and crisp after baking.
Grease (or the yolk) in egg white will prevent the whites from beating up into the preferred stiffness for meringues, etc.
Yes meringues are French
In color it is like light brown sugar, but it is much finer, dissolves more quickly, and is recommended for sweetening beverages, and for making meringues, cakes, souffl
Beading in meringues refers to the formation of small droplets or beads of moisture on the surface of the meringue. This occurs when the meringue is exposed to humidity or when it has been improperly baked or stored, leading to a weeping texture. Beading can affect the aesthetics and texture of meringues, making them less appealing. To prevent beading, it's essential to ensure proper baking conditions and to store meringues in a dry environment.
You can use a hand whisk it just takes more effort.

Aeration in relation to eggs refers to the process of incorporating air into egg whites or whole eggs, typically through whipping or beating. This process increases the volume and creates a light, fluffy texture, which is essential for achieving the desired consistency in recipes like meringues, soufflés, and sponge cakes. The air bubbles help to stabilize the structure of the mixture, allowing it to rise during baking. Proper aeration results in a better rise and a lighter final product.
Meringues were invented in Switzerland in the town of Meiringen by an Italian chef named Gasparini.
You can not use explosives for lawn aeration. This process should only be done with a lawn aerator. To use explosives could be incredibly dangerous and most likely illegal in your area.
Uncooked meringues (including Italian meringues - i.e any meringue that is not baked until crisp) tend to 'weep' within 3-4 hours of making (their sugar and water from the egg whites leaks out), regardless of whether they are stored in a fridge or not. To combat this, some restaurants make the lemon tart and meringues seperately and only assemble just before eating.
I don't think traditionally you use any grease with meringues. I do it with muffin cup liners - mine are made of parchment and are non-stick.
