Can you make a meringue in an Airfryer ?

Meringue- in an airfryer ?
Hmm,are you sure Penn ?
Well I wasn't sure but I gave it a go and guess what ? People lie on Facebook- shock horror
But anyway I persevered and did things my way and ended up with a delicious meringue ,crispy on the outside with a fluffy marshmallowy middle
It helped make the most delicious ETON MESS

Hi Penn, I make pavlovas often , but always add either a spoon of cornflour or vinegar to give the inside a softer , chewy texture, so interested to see how yours turns out, without using either , texture wise. Could just fancy one at this time. Hehe thanks for sharing.❤

It's the recipe I always use for meringues . It's crunchy and chewy. I was disappointed in the video I saw showing a pure white meringue with wrong temps

[@Petes-Page]

I would have been tempted to do this in the 15 in 1

[@inthekitchenwithpenn1]

I was following a method I'd seen for the dual , hence don't believe all you see on Facebook

Looks delicious, meringues are something we cant seem to get right xx

Try wiping out the mixing bowl with a slice of lemon to remove grease and strangely older eggs work better

[@karentoynton8948]

Try and clean your bowl and utensils with lemon juice wiped all them , very often it’s a smar of grease that stops the eggs whipping as they should . Also be really sure no yolk gets in the white. Even the tiniest bit will spoil the meringue mix Cook on a low heat for a couple of hours , then open your oven door a little way, but leave the meringue to cool right down before removing . If you tap the bottom of the meringue you will hear it knock if cooked. So many people remove from the oven to sook or try and cook the. Meringue in to high a heat. Not really knowing why you feel yours aren’t tight is difficult for me to be able to help you, but if you let me know your problem I wil do my best to help you resolve the issue. Happy baking . I also use for a large pavlova 6egg whites that aren’t really freshly laid, as I find a few days old again they whip better . Also one last thing don’t add all your sugar at once , but start adding when the peaks are softly formed . I am sure follow the simple tips and you will do it . Just keep trying ! Measure your sugar amount against your egg yolk weight as well so that you get a firm texture. I would start by wiping your utensils with lemon juice . That’s includes the inside of your bowl .

[@wendymills2696]

Omg looks delish

[@annescott6137]

My go that's a long time n the air fryer don't understand the times on this it's very confusing

[@user-gr4bo4dw5f]

Don’t know if you would be interested but Vegtastic Mum showed how to make meringue if you want to give her a look at she baked them

[@inthekitchenwithpenn1]

I'll take a look

[@wendymills2696]

Did you bake or airfry?

[@inthekitchenwithpenn1]

Wendy if you watch I started on AF and then dehydrate

[@wendymills2696]

At the start i could swire you said bake for 20 mins on 190, then at least an hour bake on 90?

[@inthekitchenwithpenn1]

I did because I was following a recipe id seen on FB ..But trust me that recipe was a load of ** because you CAN'T AF or BAKE in the dual at 90c. Hence me using dehydrate which yest took longer - but its only the same power as using a slow cooker - and it worked well

[@wendymills2696]

@@inthekitchenwithpenn1 so do you use dehydrate full recipe?

[@inthekitchenwithpenn1]

@wendymills2696 no 20 mins AF . Then down to 90c dehydrate. This stops the meringue being too brown xx
