Microwave meringues in minutes
21 comments
"Works an absolute treat but for a 900w microwave 1 1/2 mins would be too long. I got perfect results at just a minute. Thanks to all those who recommended very small balls of paste. They really do spread in the micro. I tried working some very finely grated chocolate into the paste and the result was a tasty but visually unappealing meringue - it resembled dirty snow. I'd imagine you could freeze these in the same way as conventionally cooked meringues, carefully separated with waxed paper so that they don't stick to each other. "
