The Dutch Epicure Shop - Making Meringues

[aznpride16xx]

D'aw he was so cute ^.^

I love old people when they smile :3

Thanks for the video!

And if anyone would like to know, I have a recipe that makes 6-8 meringue cookies...so probably two or three of his meringue shells.

It's two egg whites and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar. Hope this helps :]

[richterscale09]

@aznpride16xx I'm no expert, but i imagine old people don't like being called "old people" unless it's by their peers. okay, csb, i know.

[9QTae2]

how many eggs and grams of sugar should i put?

[sbspgirl21]

he is soo proud! :-)

[TheMissThis]

how long can you keep these after they're made?

[coachgal23]

Passion fruit pulp is what I put in the center :)

[nuriaelena]

One question.......it seems that you were able to make forty meringues shells,, but how much of the ingredients were necessary?

[EmanMorrison]

Hypnotising swirlsssss

[wonderwend1]

It is so nice to watch a craftsman at work :)

[adachi143]

Great!! :)

[piqiepinel]

i love this man! such a gentle personality *hug*

[himafu]

The piping technique is so beautiful! :) I really am excited to make meringues now..

[PhuongsLOVE]

wow so perfect

[yuki8327]

could i just put a regular cookie sheet over the tray when baking? and in another recipe i read they said to leave for 2 month O_O

they looked like hey were set to me in the vid...

some information on that plz :D?

[theskinnychef22]

@yuki8327 Hmmm, no tray over the tray necessary. Overnight is long enough, two months is crazy!!! You would have to have some unbelievable planning for that ;-)

[MaryRoseSaffron]

@theskinnychef22

When I make meringue, I bake them at 160 degrees centigrade for 55 minutes, then I leave them in the oven for 60 more minutes, and when I take them out the are ok.

@theskinnychef22 Hi, just signed in to comment on this video, I just came across this video today and I can say this is superb and really appreciate you've shared this. Hope all is well and I've liked and subscribed, many thanks :)

[zanyalacarey]

@yuki8327 wtf, 2 months. u shuda noe that was bull. thats 60 days



[wonderwend1]

@yuki8327 perhaps they meant that you could leave them 'for up to' two months before using them????

[Lollipopper13]

where can i have the recipe?

[MaryRoseSaffron]

@Lollipopper13

when I make meringue (I made them 30 min ago) I use 4 tablespoons of sugar for each egg white. Hope this helps!

[bmorris1966]

Tap-tap, smile. How sweet.

[Nymphony]

He does it so effortlessly,  I know that is not near as easy as he makes it look...he is so pro! ^_^

[MaryRoseSaffron]

@Nymphony

If you have cloth piping bags then it should actually be quite easy. I've done it a few weeks ago, and just now, and it was not difficult. Especially considering I have to use a ziplock bag as a piping bag.

[Simplifully]

The eggs will be sufficiently cooked right? Since the oven is at such a low temperature. Thanks!

[theskinnychef22]

@Simplifully - The eggs are dried at over 200 degrees, there is no moisture left!

[rodriguez6furrykids]

its just egg whites and sugar right??? i have to try this it looks so good and easy to!!!

[3wikipedia]

thts a whole lot of sugar

[lechells]

hi! what sugar do i use? powdered? or just granulated sugar? thanks

[theskinnychef22]

@lechells - Granulated. 

[CrashTest355]

@theskinnychef22 you got to be kitting med silly booty

[MaryRoseSaffron]

@lechells

some people use castor sugar so it mixes better, but i use granulated

[benquig]

Yum!

[ziba89]

omg o.O how did he remove the pan from oven with his bare hands :S 

[theskinnychef22]

@ziba89 The oven is at such a low temperature, they are dried, not really baked!

[sararmsheets]

What a cute man!!

[leanna20]

he didn't use oven mits...........

[Simplifully]

@leanna20

That was amazing.

[shirleart]

Beautiful piping!!! Such precision!

[2pamrocks8]

that looks delicious!

[Purpleducksrsexy]

omg that looks so good, you have such skill for piping them out so quickly and neatly

[giampiero1939]

Complimenti alla grande manualità del PASTICCERE

[mperez487]

How much egg white and sugar do I put?? and How long give or take do I leave them in the oven at 225-250??

[TheHansonHaven]

It depends on what sort of cookie you are trying for... there are soft meringues and there are hard (crispy) meringues.

Soft cookie=, 2 tablespoons of fine sugar per egg white give the best results. (With ultra-fine sugar as many as 3 tablespoons of sugar per egg white can be used; coarser granulated sugar less than 2 tablespoons per egg is desirable)

Hard cookie= 4 to 5 tablespoons per egg white

I checked online, found that. Hope it helps.

[slamnxgirlxjulie]

about 1 and a half hours...i usually do 4 egg whites and 3/4 cup of sugar

[Purpleducksrsexy]

until you can lift it, and tap it to hear a hollow sound

[theskinnychef22]

No, you have to fill them right before serving or the sugar will melt with the moisture of the filling.

[1975daan]

I was wondering if there's a way you can fill the meringue cases, say with whipped cream and not serve them right away without them turning all sticky.

[theskinnychef22]

No, you have to fill them right before serving or the sugar will melt with the moisture of the filling.

[RylanTy]

I love your videos! Thanks for posting.

Btw, what temperature do you set your oven? Mines usually comes out a bit gummy.

[theskinnychef22]

Very cool, 225-250 degrees. Just be patient and leave them in there until they are dry.

[meichblank]

how long should I leave it in the oven to make sure they are dry? 2-3 hours?

[votejamie08]

aww that was great i love his smile when they are all done

[sulivel]

since you said cook at lowest setting, I just wonder if you can let these cook under the sunshine...

[h2w156789]

how do you get the meringues to not stick on the parchment paper? whenever i make them they always stick

[theskinnychef22]

The parchment has a non stick coating ;-).  Maybe try wax paper if you don't have that?

[sulivel]

can meringue be made without sugar, like with a herb/seasoning ingredient to fill it with for example a salmon dip?

[theskinnychef22]

No - there are only two ingredients....egg whites and sugar. You'd be better off with some sort of pastry shell I think for a savory dish!

[saiyansgal]

How do you get them coming out white without going golden? :(

I followed a receipe where the oven had to be at 110oC for 3 hours and they came out golden.

[theskinnychef22]

You have to turn your oven waaaay down, barely on at all. If it takes longer, that's o.k.

[fawz23]

I LOVE this vid!

Always coming here to watch it...

[beneboy2802]

hes pro at that.

[fawz23]

He's not using oven mitts!!!!!!

[theskinnychef22]

They are taken out of the oven the next day when they are dry. Cooled off!

[fawz23]

Aaaah...Okay.

[minymatt234]

yummi i want!

[XiiaoMa0Mii]

it looks like pearl leh~ look so damm dillic

[andreatrinidad9]

cool that look so yummy! delicious

[blackanesian]

what do they taste like?

[theskinnychef22]

Sugar. It's what you add to them that gives them flavor. Fruit, ice cream, sorbet...anything!

[blackanesian]

oh~~

ive been wanting to try them :o

[DivaLeo87]

He made that look so easy!

[xcurlz75x]
