Meringue in the oven - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, but powdered sugar is preferred because it dissolves easier, creating a smoother texture. If using granulated sugar, blend it into a finer consistency first.
Store meringue in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Avoid refrigeration, as humidity can make them chewy.
Yes, but it requires patience—use a whisk and vigorously beat the egg whites by hand until stiff peaks form. This may take 10-15 minutes.
Yes! Aquafaba (chickpea brine) works well—whip ½ cup aquafaba with ¾ cup sugar until stiff, then bake as usual.
Avoid sudden temperature changes. Let the meringue cool slowly in the turned-off oven to prevent cracks.
Yes, freeze baked meringues in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Use a large star tip for classic shapes, and hold the piping bag vertically for consistency. Practice on parchment first!
Absolutely! Add 1 tsp vanilla or citrus extract, or a few drops of food coloring, after stiff peaks form for a tasty twist.
