Identify two problems that may occur when preparing soft meringues
Problems that can occur when preparing soft meringues are shrinking, weeping, and beading. Shrinking can be avoided by spreading the meringue slightly, overlapping the entire perimeter of the crust. Weeping may be caused by eggs that are underbeaten, or by undercoagulation; to prevent weeping, add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the sugar before beating it into the egg whites. The main cause of beading is undissolved sugar; however, overcooking can also cause beading; use a shorter cooking time and increase the temperature to 425°F to prevent beading.
