02How to do it
- 1Start at the right temperature — cold for cream, room-temp for egg whites.
- 2Use a clean, grease-free bowl and whisk.
- 3Beat in a steady motion, incorporating air and increasing speed.
- 4Stop at the target peak — soft, medium, or stiff.
03Doneness & pitfalls
Doneness cues
- The mixture holds peaks of the intended stiffness and has grown in volume.
Common mistakes
- Over-whipping cream turns it grainy, then to butter.
- Any fat in the bowl stops egg whites from foaming.
- Over-beaten whites turn dry and clumpy.
