Tip
 Egg whites - successful meringues/pavlova -

When stiffly beaten, egg whites will expand to six times
their unwhipped volume. But they will not whip up if even
a spec of yolk is included or if the bowl or utensils used for whipping have any oil or fat on them.
Never use a plastic bowl when whipping egg whites,
you will never get the volume you require.

Annies tip :I always use - a stainless steel bowl & the bigger the better
 
Handy tips :
Did you know you can freeze egg white in ice cube containers, and they will keep for up to six months?
And if they are defrosted slowly - you can whip them
and use them in fresh baking.
