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

    • @SerifSansSerif
      @SerifSansSerif Год 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).

    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.

    That last experiment is actually a step in making classic tiramisu. After you whip the yolks until they can't take in any more air, add marscapone and sugar, mix until combined and fold in whipped egg whites.

      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!
