Whipping egg whites is a very common practice in the kitchen for both sweet and savory dishes. The goal of this process is to create a smooth, delicate, and fluffy consistency with the egg whites, which will later add air bubbles to the batter or mixture in which they are used. Whipping egg whites can increase their volume up to six times their size, so it is very important that the size of the bowl in which you whip them is large enough for them to properly expand. It is best to use a stainless steel bowl or glass, which also works well; you must ensure they are perfectly clean, as a bit of grease will prevent peaks from forming. The egg whites should be at room temperature; this will ensure they reach their maximum volume. If they are very cold, it is best to let them sit for 30 minutes outside the refrigerator. There are different textures when whipping egg whites:

• - A "foamy" consistency is until tiny clear bubbles form; it will not be necessary to whip too much.
• - Whipping to "soft peaks" is very common in baking, and this consistency is until the egg whites form moist peaks that hold when the beaters are lifted and do not drip.

Note!: It is important not to over-whip the egg whites, as they will have moist and soft peaks. You can add a little cream of tartar to stabilize the egg whites. If the recipe asks you to add sugar to the egg whites, it is crucial to know the perfect moment to do so, as it is essential to prevent the egg whites from collapsing. Once they reach the "soft peaks" stage, start adding the sugar gradually, about 2 tablespoons at a time; this will give the sugar time to dissolve with the egg whites, and it will be ready when it has a stiff and shiny texture. We hope that in your next recipe, you can whip egg whites perfectly.   Cooking Recipes (it is important to click on the recipe title for more preparation details) Gorgonzola Cheese and Walnut Soufflé.
