• When beating egg whites, use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never
plastic. Plastic may contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the
delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites, add
teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them.
(If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the egg whites until
desired peaks form.
• It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by
hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.
• Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become
less stable.
• When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft
peaks just begin to form, and then continue beating to form desired
peaks.
• When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled
bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl for
whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize
any splatter.
• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.
Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending
on preference. It may be flavoured as desired. For best results, whip
cream just before using.
