How to cook deliciously - Foolproof Swiss Meringue

1. Stage

Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a medium pot.

2. Stage

Combine sugar, egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.

3. Stage

Reduce the heat under the simmering water and place the stand mixer bowl over the steam. Whisk egg whites lightly until a digital or candy thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately.

4. Stage

Place the bowl onto the stand mixer and attach the whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until egg whites are cool and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes; the mixture should hold peaks effortlessly and start balling up around the whisk attachment while appearing silky, shiny, and pure white.

5. Stage

Use meringue immediately.
