    On top of the ovals, with the help of various nozzles, create colorful elegant patterns. Put it in the oven to dry at a temperature of 90 degrees for 2 hours. Heating mode - top/bottom without convection. Then turn off the oven and let the meringue cool.

It is not difficult to prepare meringues, they are meringues, if you precisely observe the proportions, follow all the rules and stages of cooking. It is impossible to store ready-made meringues in the refrigerator, they get damp and lose their shape and taste. The best storage for meringue is a paper bag or a dry container with a paper napkin on the bottom. You can store meringues in this form for two weeks and it is very convenient - you can prepare for the holiday in advance.
