White

Egg white is the clear high-protein albumen that sets opaque when heated and foams when whipped for meringues, mousses, and soufflés. Fat kills foam—separate carefully. Whip in a clean dry bowl; add sugar gradually for meringue. Whites also clarify stocks. Refrigerate separated whites a few days or freeze in portions.
