TIPS
* Do not let even a drop of yolk in with the egg whites. This is critical. Even a drop can ruin the mixture.
* The mixing bowl needs to be completely grease-free and dry. Use a half lemon to rub your bowl.
* Bain-marie. Make sure there is at least an inch of space between the water and the bottom of the bowl, so the bowl will not touch the boiling water.
* Meringue Transfer sheets replace baking papers. Moreover, baking papers are harmful to the sheets.
* Always put the tray with the sheet at the bottom of the oven, it is the warmest spot, and it releases a lot of steam in the oven, which rises up. If you have a second tray on top, this will make the prints on the upper tray wet and not transfer well.
* Ensure oven temperature does NOT exceed 80°C (176°F)
