Using the egg white of a jumbo sized egg from Trader Joe's and 1/4 cup of superfine sugar I was able to get about 4 small meringues (a little less than 2 inches diameter for each).

Why do you use aeration making meringues?
You want small bubbles of air to lift the egg white protean so that the meringues will be light and crisp after baking.
How will grease affect the aeration ability of egg whites?
Grease (or the yolk) in egg white will prevent the whites from beating up into the preferred stiffness for meringues, etc.
Are raw eggs used in meringues?
Meringues are made with egg whites and sugar mixed together. They are then cooked in an oven, so the answer is no as they are cooked.
Do marshmallows have acesulfame?
Not usually. Marshmallows are a combination of egg white, glucose, sugar and gelatine. The sugar is necessary for bulk, (like in meringues) so is not usually replaced with acesulfame.
Do meringues contain gluten?
Maybe! Some recipes call for vinegar as a degreaser for the egg whites and not all vinegars are gluten free. Make your own using only egg white and sugar, serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit for a gluten free desert the whole family will love.

What is an egg beater used for?

What is the hypothesis of the bouncy egg?
If The egg soaks in White Vinegar then the White vinegare will make the egg bounce the highest.
Why is lemon meringue soup after refrigerating?
Uncooked meringues (including Italian meringues - i.e any meringue that is not baked until crisp) tend to 'weep' within 3-4 hours of making (their sugar and water from the egg whites leaks out), regardless of whether they are stored in a fridge or not. To combat this, some restaurants make the lemon tart and meringues seperately and only assemble just before eating.
What inference can you make about the digestibility of cooked egg white?
Cooked egg white is quite digestible.
Are meringues fattening?
No not at all ! Egg whites have no calories and if you use granulated splenda they are a very low calorie dessert!
What is the application of beaten egg white?
Beaten egg white is commonly used to add volume and lightness to recipes like meringues, angel food cake, and soufflés. The air incorporated during beating creates a foam that helps to leaven and stabilize these baked goods.
