Thank you So much for detail presentation of differences, I genuinely needed to understand. I went to international Cake school abroad still no one bothered to explain there about all these important information, everyone was busy to complete syllabus only! I don't know how to appreciate you enough, truly grateful . Pray for your good health long life and happiness.
amazing video!! so good you explained that !
My mother used to make meringue! What a blast from childhood😊
It is always a pleasure to see your recipes ♡
You're videos are so informative. Answers all my questions
Thanks for the explanations and demonstrations - very helpful!
i would love for you to explain different gelling agents other than gelatin and actually comapring each one and tasting them like agar agar, pectin for your fellow vegetarians
I've always wondered what the difference was. Thanks for the info! :)

Very informative!!! Thank you!
Ty very much for showing how to pipe at the end Other videos focus on the recipe or the tip i dont know how to hold the piping bag so very helpful to me
Thank you . This was brilliant. It explains all three and "how to use them" . I now know which one to use (Italian I think) for two purposes I have in mind. There are two British sweets I cannot get in the U.S. - walnut whippy things and without mentioning a name, those tea cakes made with marshmallow - that I'll just have to try making myself! Will be well worth the effort if I can do it right. Wish me luck :-)
Thanks very informative and comparative

I like watching your videos! In this occasion I just have one observation. 118°C is actually SOFT ball stage, and not hard ball stage. Besides that it's a fantastic comparison of the different meringues!

Thanks for the detail, I was trying to make the Italian meringue but it can’t bit it up to a fluffy stage, and it was so runny! Do u have any advance? Should I add the syrup slowly in the egg white ? And at what stage of egg white should I add in the syrup ? Thx

Another informative and quite useful video! What if one used either confectioner's sugar or super-fine caster sugar when making French meringue? Would it affect the texture when baked? It seems either of these would solve the issue of undissolved sugar crystals.

I have an extra large Kitchenaid standing mixer and I feel like it doesn’t “whisk” things right. Almost like it doesn’t reach the bottom. Any advice?
When making Meringue Popsicles on a Stick, do I use French? Also, can I add any flavoring? Does it Have to be an Extract only??

Help... tried this recipe with and without chocolate for the Swiss meringue. Still raw in the middle after 40 mins. Cooked for an additional 30 mins and still gooey in the middle. Chocolate ones cooked better overall so does this recipe need 50g more sugar if you are to omit the chocolate altogether? And is a higher oven temp required? 😭😩
You are the meringue 😍😍

My only impression of Italian meringue is Baked Alaska 😂 I did kisses with Swiss meringue too and yea it's sticky I guess it's really because of the climate, these baked meringues start to get sticky in a short time

Hello guys, I have a question: I use to make meringue 1 part eggwhites and 3 parts sugar to make kisses of various forms and dimensions. I bake them in the oven for at least 3 hours at 90*/100* C in order to not let them be sticky inside. The matter is that they become always "coloured", they're not white. Should I use 1 part eggwhites and 2 sugar or there's something else? P.S. I really hate the sticky consistency of Swish meringue :P
@jisoochoi21
5 жыл бұрын
2 part. For me when I forget the ratio or I am too lazy to look up the ratio, I used 3 parts, but because there was too much sugar that I couldn't really form a stiff peak. Also, I think you are baking it too long. Usually the directions I use says to make 20-40 minutes, then leave the meringues in the oven until the oven completely cools down. I usually do them leave them over night, and they are crispy in the inside as well.
Can you use meringue as frosting on a cake or even a cupcake?

Depending on how fast you're pouring the sugar syrup into the egg whites. Pour the syrup very slowly while the stand/hand mixer is on high. It should work perfectly. I've done it many times. ✌🏾👍🏾
I GOT A REALLL BIG QUESTION: My oven is pretty small and i cant bake all the meringue at once. Will the French meringue sweat if i leave it at room temperature for about 1 hour?

Anyways, i followed the same advices about dehydrating the meringue that you gave in the video, but after 2 hours being left in the oven (not opening the door), i still ended up having sweaty kisses 😭 omg i dont even know how many times ive made baked meringue and failed!
What’s the best one to make if you are whisking by hand?
Also, in Australia, have to leave it for HOURS
I missed youuu

Hey, how can we know when they're cooked? Is there a test for it? Like you said we need to cook the meringue longer for bigger things, so how can we know once the meringue is cooked? Also, can the swiss meringue and Italian meringues be used for kisses as well?
If I were to use Italian meringue to decorate the top of a small cake, would it be smarter to pipe the design onto the cake and then torch it or pipe the design onto a separate surface that I could transfer onto the cake after its been torched? I wouldn't want to melt the icing on my cake from the heat of the torch!

Eliza Oliveira Mollo are you using castor sugar or powdered (confectioners) sugar? normal granulated sugar might take longer to dissolve, if you can't get or make castor sugar powdered is an okay substitute, or you can put granulated sugar in a blender and that will grind it to smaller granules.
If it’s edible, then I would probably eat it anyways
