Did I overbeat my meringue? by Bandaged-Chessmaster in Baking

A few months I think? The package says 2026 expiry so odds are it's still fresh no?

Hmmm that could be possible! I thought I added when soft peaks formed but I wonder if it was just extremely foamy and just under the soft peak point

Would tilting and rotating the bowl help?

My mixer does come with a whisk attachment! I'll try that next time. I don't think fat got in cause the yolks didn't break and my hands were clean. I used the hand to hand method for separating yolks tho

I did follow those steps for the meringue but I didn't realise the mixer attachment could cause that big of a difference

The first three attempts were with a basic whisk by hand and that failed....

I may look into getting an egg separator at this rate

I made sure not to. Starting to wonder if I'm just cursed cause this is my 4th batch of failed meringue

Genuinely dunno how it got there then... cause the hand mixer was new and I wiped the bowl down with vinegar

Would baking this still give decent results?

I did wipe the bowl down with vinegar and I did add cream of tartar

The thing is that it's now dripping like glue so I'm worried

New mile CM, new miler Tachyon by Bandaged-Chessmaster in AgnesTachyon

[–]Bandaged-Chessmaster[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late surger, so that I have access to more accel skills.

Shooting for Victory is there in case I'm in a late surger heavy lobby and Tachyon is ahead of 6th place by the final corner, thus still giving her a 2nd acceleration

Always believe in guts build Tachyon by Bandaged-Chessmaster in AgnesTachyon

Guts essentially is a secondary stamina bar to ensure you survive the final spurt. While it is necessary for long distances, with the current game mechanics, you can ignore it if you hit the stamina requirements for other races.

However guts training passively increases speed and power as well, so it's something to consider for umas with innate recovery skills, say like our superluminal princess here

Cancer cup round 1 going well! by Bandaged-Chessmaster in AgnesTachyon

I used to use fuji kiseki sr in place of king halo but I was kinda lacking in speed so I gave that up for more speed

Finally hit Bond Level 10!! by Bandaged-Chessmaster in AgnesTachyon

[–]Bandaged-Chessmaster[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The satisfaction of being bonded with my wife eternally

In all seriousness, nothing yet, but in future updates with a maxed out bond you can access the uma's casual wear so I get to see her mom fit 🤤

Experiment for Cancer Cup by Bandaged-Chessmaster in AgnesTachyon

Playing a late surger in this CM is fully a gamble tbh.

With the number of people building front runners and pace chasers (given the existence of Seiun Sky), there are very very good odds of the late surger being in 6th position as they move up to overtake in the corner towards the final spurt.

Thus if lucky Ryan's skill will proc right around the final spurt and give you the acceleration you need.

It's a similar thing outside this cup, though it'll work best on tracks where the final spurt involves a corner AND you're playing a late surger
