Apr 5, 2015 at 21:09 comment added Ecnerwal My wife and I diverge the opposite way, though we each will eat the other's meringues - they are just quite different. She uses about 6 times the sugar I usually do (I vary a bit) and gets a much harder meringue as a result. There's also a huge variaton in results (separate from sugar content, though affected by it) depending on cooking method - hot and fast, low and slow, somewhere in the middle...they are all good in their own way, unless you manage to burn them (that's just not good...)

Oct 27, 2011 at 13:47 comment added Rincewind42 The sugar in a meringue caramelise when cooked and make a sort of toffee. Without any sugar you would just have dried out egg.
Oct 27, 2011 at 12:03 comment added rumtscho What do you mean, "won't work right"? You can create a stiff foam out of eggwhites without using any sugar at all. What's the specific problem with that?
