| | Weep no more: With the proper technique, anyone can create a perfect meringue |
 | | When we mentioned the 12-white meringue to an egg board employee, she wanted to check it for safety, as improperly cooked eggs can cause illness from salmonella bacteria. |
 | | Meringues vary from a glamorous glace, served with ice cream, to Christmas meringue cookies, an insulating meringue that surrounds baked Alaska, and hard meringues that form delicate crusts, such as schaum torte, served with whipped cream and fruit. |
 | | Meringue can even be poached in simmering milk or water to form "floating islands," served with custard or fruit sauce. |
