Beating Egg Whites
« on: June 17, 2010, 12:55:58 pm »
We had a consultant make a roulade for their go getters talk at our branch meeting on Monday night. Was yummy and was good to see egg whites actually work in the TMX - will post her tips now that I think of it.

She used the butterfly on speed 3 at 37O for 4 minutes and the MC out. Got a good bowl full of whites  ;D

That's excellent! I made a chocolate mousse recently that required beating the eggs in a bowl over hot water, so I used Herman with butterfly at 37. Worked beautifully! They were pale and really fluffy.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Let me add the recipe from my Italian Bimby book

FOR EGG WHITES

- 2 egg whites at room temperature

Insert Butterfly in a clean and completely dry TM Bowl. Put egg whites and beat for 2 minutes at 37ºC on Speed 4

Advises:
- If the eggs are very fresh it takes 1 minute 30 seconds to beat 2 egg whites
- You can beat also without using temperature but it's better if you use
- Be careful! There shouldn't be any egg yolk parts left inside. Otherwise they won't be whipped very well
- The duration will change due to the numbers of eggs used. You can beat up to 10 egg whites



FOR EGG YOLKS
200gr sugar
4 egg yolks

Insert butterfly. Put sugar and egg yolks in TM Bowl and beat for 4 minutes on Speed 4

Note: You can beat up to 10 egg yolks by increasing the amount of sugar and duration (up to max 6 minutes)
Advise: You can beat egg yolks at 37ºC as the confectioners do

This is what's written in the book  ;)

Finally - a successful way to beat egg whites!  Tried this twice today as a base for nougat - works a treat.  Used 37 C, speed 3 for 4 minutes - perfect.

Do you have the recipe for nougat handy? I've been wanting to make some but the non thermomix recipes want me to heat it up to over 130.

Thanks all - yes, the Bimby book is better with hints/tips, but they have been using it longer  ;) ;)

Somewhere on here there is a tip for using heat that I posted from the Italian website.  Tenina was using 50 deg when she was doing the daquoise and experimenting. 

The heat sure makes it easier.

Ryan,

It's still a work in progress - but the syrup is brought up to 143 C on the stove and drizzled in to the beating egg whites.  Where I'm still experimenting is with cooking the syruo/eggwhite comination to tighten it up before adding the warm inclusions.

Thanks, I'll have to add it to my list of things to try.

My husband and I love lemon meringues and I make them all the time, before my thermomix I used the kitchen aid which made perfect meringue every time.

I tried the meringue as per the cook book and I was worried that I would need to keep my Kitchen Aid ( which I was planning to sell) as the meringue was just not as nice as the one I made via the Kitchen Aid... well after trying this recipe I am pleased to say the Kitchen Aid is back on the market!!

Thankyou!!! I think the lower temp of 37 rather than 50 as the book really made a difference for me anyhow. :)
