How to Beat Egg Whites
• Beaters and bowl must be thoroughly
clean.
• Be sure there is no egg yolk in the egg
whites.
• For maximum volume, egg whites should be
at room temperature.
• Beat with the Mixer set at its highest speed
until egg whites are the desired consistency.
• Beating time varies with the freshness of
eggs.
