Whipping Egg Whites Using Hand Whisk

May 2, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 6 Comments

Ingredients

Eggs – 4 Number
Sugar – 1 n 1/2 Tbsp
Lemon Juice (Or) Cream of Tartar – 1tsp
Glass/Stainless Steel Bowl
Hand Whisk Method


  • Keep the Eggs in room temperature at least 2 hrs before whisking.
  • Separate the whites from yolks with no traces of yolks.
  • Start whisking in front and back motion as shown in the video.
  • When begins foaming add lemon juice/cream of tartar and continue whisking.
  • When soft peaks attained add sugar and continue beating till hard peaks attained.
  • Took 12-15 minutes for me to attain the peak, In between stopped a while for clicking and recording :-).
  • I substituted egg whites for Sponge Cake and Pan cakes.

This Video is just to get an idea about beating egg whites.

Note:
Adding lemon juice/cream of tartar prevents over beating eggs.

Using Electric Blender

  • Beat the egg whites until they are foamy.
  • Add the cream of tartar (Pic 1) and continue to beat on medium speed until they reach soft peak stage (Pic 2).
  • You will know your egg whites have reached this stage when the beaters start to leave a trail or when the peaks fall over when the beaters are raised (Pic 3).
  • Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of sugar and continue to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks (Pic 4) when the beaters are raised.

    HEY I AM WONDERING, WHY DO YOU USED CREAM OF TARTAR AND LEMON JUICE? DOES IT HELP FORM THE PEAKS?

    Choosing the right blender for your materials can be a difficult and frustrating job. Vendors claim their blenders work efficiently, and their claims are generally true, provided the blenders are correctly chosen for your material.best blender under 100
