Can you make a meringue by a food processor

Question

I want to make a meringue but i don't own an electric mixer is it possible to make a meringue with a food processor

Answer 1

Yes, you can I make whipped cream all the time n mine

Answer 2

Not unless it has a set of blades that can lift the mixture to create air pockets. It would be well worth your while buying a mixer, theyre not too expensive.

Answer 3

Kind of, but you won't be able to whip peaks in it like you can by electric mixer or by hand.

Answer 4

I have a beater attachment for my food processor and that would be perfect.   The blade and the workbowl would not be my first choice.   It might work but I would hand whisk it instead.   You can make meringue in about 2 minutes with a whisk (and a copper bowl if you have one)

Answer 5

Unfortunately using a food processor might not give you very good results.  The secret to a successful meringue is to have the right consistency plus the right amount of air in the mixture before you cook it.  It takes lots of practise to get it right.  Good luck.

Answer 6

You should have a plastic attachment which will beat your egg whites it'll do the job perfectly
