Helpful Hints
Egg Whites Substitute: Meringue powder can be substituted for egg whites in a meringue application. Three egg whites equal approximately 3 tablespoons meringue powder plus 6 tablespoons water.
You can't substitute meringue powder for egg whites in most recipes because it contains other ingredients such as sugar
Adding Garlic to Recipes: When a recipe calls for adding oil, garlic, and onions to a pan, always add garlic last. This keeps it from burning and tasting bitter.
