      What's the go with using copper bowls to whip egg whites?

    • @SerifSansSerif
      @SerifSansSerif 2 года назад

      Ok. Not sure if you got to it yet, but egg whites are susceptible to collapse with the addition of oil, even after whipping and in meringues (cooked or uncooked). Meringue based buttercreams are predominantly butter, not meringue, and if you don't add enough butter and err on the side of meringue, it will collapse faster than The butter will melt on a summer day.
      Weeping meringues also are common regardless of how cooked they are (unless baked dry, and then they are susceptible to moisture), when topping a cream/butter based pie.
      In cakes and baked goods such as chiffon or sponge, you are whipping both parts of the egg separately for maximum aeration, and then mixing the two together (with flour which is a stabilizing factor), before baking, (and solidifying the mixture completely).

    Here in Norway, it’s a common childhood treat to whip whole eggs together with sugar until it’s foamy and then either drink it directly or use a spoon to drink/eat it. We call it “eggedosis”.
    And for anyone not from Norway immediately thinking “hold on, thats not safe”: in Norway, the egg production industry is extremely well controlled in terms of possible salmonella or other diseases, so eggs are perfectly fine to eat raw here. Sure, it’s not 100% guaranteed that nothing will ever slip through the crack, but it’s highly unlikely that any given egg you choose to eat raw is bad.

    Not sure how the rest of the world does it, but here in Argentina there's a standard cake batter recipe that involves whipping a number of whole eggs with 30 grams of sugar for each egg for about 10-15 minutes, add vanilla extract and then fold in some flour (30 grams per egg too, or instead 25g flour and 5g cocoa powder for chocolate cake)

      The video doesn’t say you can’t whip eggs together. It says that if you do, the resulting foam will be far less voluminous, and less stable, than if you separated the whites.

    • @The_Farwall

      I guess if you start incorporating the other ingredients, especially the flour, before the whipped eggs start collapsing again, then that stabilises the mixture and preserves the aeration.

      When cooked, the protein gets denatured and becomes solid. This is irreversible and you cannot get the liquid form again. When you beat egg white with a stick, the proteins (at least part of it) gets denatured and becomes cooked (at room temp). With sugar, the effect is simple: sugar extracts the water from the solution and makes the protein concentration effectively higher. The effect is that the foam is stronger if you add sufficient sugar before you stir.

    The main use for whipped egg whites in my kitchen is a chocolate cake, and honestly it works out just fine even with a less-than-optimal foam. Possibly because I whip the egg whites last and immediately mix them in with the rest of the batter, and that then immediately goes in the oven.
    There's a difference, sure, but in my experience it's often not as big of a deal in most home baking as people make it out to be (excluding more sensitive/specific things, like soufflés and meringues). You don't need to throw out a bowl of eggwhites just because they're not perfect - as long as you can get stiffish peaks, you can at least totally make Joy of Baking's chocolate almond torte with them. I can say that from experience!

    You should try out Kogel Mogel. It's a simple and quick dessert popular in Eastern Europe and parts of Germany.
    You beat 2-3 egg yolks with about 3 teaspoons of sugar per yolk(can be brown sugar) in a cup(would spread out too much and take too long in a bowl) using a mixer with just a single beater attached for a few minutes until the mixture gains volume and color turns light-yellow. Usually I also add some nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract and/or cocoa powder.
    It foams up a lot and is pretty stable.
    It's eaten raw, so if you're really afraid of salmonella it's a good idea to put the eggs in hot water for a few seconds before breaking them to kill off bacteria.
    I tried baking the end result, and it's not terrible, but it tastes better raw, also because the air acts as an insulator the outside cooks a lot faster than the inside.

  • @cezarcatalin1406
    @cezarcatalin1406 2 года назад +2

    You CAN fix egg whites with some oil in them by:
    -Adding extra water soluble proteins like albumin. This essentially makes it easier for the matrix to hold together but if you add too much it will squeeze the water out
    -Adding stabilising agents like charged polypectins (partially oxidated or partially aminated) which are modified sugars that can both attract the proteins making sulfur links more likely but they also push proteins out of the water by displacing them (sugars are more soluble) and trap fats into the water
    -Adding aminoacid emulsifiers like citrotyrosine, citrophenylalanine or citrotryptophan which are citric acid amides of fatty aminoacids that can get fats into the water but also dissolve inside of fats and attract proteins there
    -Adding hydrophobic sulfur-linking promoters like divalerocystine fumarate which is a dual amide of fumaric acid with cystine aminoacids esterified with valeric fatty alcohols. This one is the best since it has two thiol groups that can both bond with large proteins and make them more lipophilic.
    Sadly, the more experimental ones didn’t get approved yet by regulatory agencies and are probably not very cheap to synthesise since you can’t make them with modified bacteria so they require classical chemical synthesis, but judging by their molecular structures they should be perfectly edible. It just takes your body an amylase to split citrotyrosine into citric acid and tyrosine for example.
