Rant: Hand mixing meringue is superior to any machine.

My great aunt's meringue always came out perfect. With my electric mixer, it's a disaster.

My aunt's handwritten recipe calls for a balloon whisk. I haven't had a collapse since I switched back.

Grandma's tools always outlive the fancy new stuff.

Watch this happen with everything from tools to tech. The old simple way often works best because it doesn't overcomplicate the job.
