Handling Egg Whites

Incorporating ingredients into egg whites requires a gentle touch.

Step 1

Using a rubber spatula, lift and gently fold in the ingredients into the egg whites.

Step 2

Since beaten egg whites have been aerated, it is important to slowly fold ingredients into them to assure a minimal loss of volume. When egg whites are fluffy, they add a delicious airiness to the dishes you make with them. (Note: Copper bowls help to make egg whites fluffy.)
