Can you store uncooked meringue?

Refrigerating meringue keeps it fresh for later use. Making meringue at home home is easy with just egg whites and granulated sugar. Make meringue ahead of time and store it in your refrigerator so you can have the fluffy treat on hand for a day of making pies and desserts.

How do you preserve meringue?

Like baklava, meringues can be kept at room temperature. When stored in an airtight container and placed in a cool, dry place, meringues can stay fresh for 2 weeks. Freezing is the best option if you think you won't be using meringues for a while. When kept in the freezer, meringues can stay fresh for months.

Should meringue be refrigerated?

Refrigeration makes meringue weep more quickly, so let the pie stand at room temperature in a draft-free spot before serving it. After a few hours, however, it will need to be refrigerated. ''If the meringue is cooked before being added to the pie, it will be more stable and less likely to weep.

How do I make my meringue crisp?

To store: Place baked hard meringue in tightly sealed container, with waxed paper between layers. To re-crisp: If stored hard meringues lose their crispness, bake in 200°F oven 15 to 20 minutes.

How long should I beat meringue?

It can take a while for a meringue to reach stiff peaks and for the sugar to dissolve—about five minutes with a hand mixer. If the sugar has not dissolved (for example, if it tastes gritty), keep beating.

Can I make meringue with a blender?

Yes, you can make Meringue very easily in a blender, just ensure to mix all the ingredients in the right proportions and blend away. Important to note is that the best meringues are made with slightly cooked egg whites, to minimize the chances of salmonella poisoning.

Can you use a blender to make stiff peaks?

Using a blender would not be suitable to achieve this as it will both break the protein strands and not incorporate air. If you are having trouble getting them to whip there are a few tricks you can use.

Can we use blender instead of beater?

If you don't have a stand mixer, a cocktail shaker, or food processor to make whipped cream, you can use a hand mixer or immersion blender to make a fresh batch quickly—without working your arm muscles, either.

Can you use a hand blender instead of a whisk?

We haven't thoroughly tested these attachments, and they're not a real substitute for a stand-mixer whisk, but they'll successfully whip cream, and do so more quickly than you'd be able to by hand.
