The term “soft peaks” means that the egg white barely supports itself. When the head of the mixer is lifted, the egg white mixture will curl and may fall from the beater.

The term “firm peaks” means that the egg white holds its shape. When the head of the mixer is lifted, the egg white mixture will remain pointy and firm.

When making pavlova or other meringues, always use caster sugar as it dissolves much easier than other coarser sugars. Sugar should begin being added at soft peaks. If you wait until the egg whites reach firm peaks and are dry, it will take longer to dissolve the sugar.

To test if sugar is dissolved, rub a small quantity of mixture between your fingertips. If it feels grainy, continue beating until smooth.

In general, cakes should be cooled on a wire rack after the suggested standing time. The standing time is to prevent the freshly baked cake from splitting or cracking when removed from the pan.

Fruit cakes and various other heavy cakes, such as mud cakes, are best cooled in the pan. Due to the weight of these cakes, turning out while still warm will cause them to split. Cooling in the pan also keeps them moist.

Sponges should be removed from the pan as soon as they come out of the oven.

Most biscuits are best cooled on the baking tray.
