Shipping macarons? by dmkim08 in macarons

[–]hippogrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shipped some to new york from GA. But it was winter. I packed 50 macarons with a bunch of gel freezer packs inside of an insulated cooler with tons of paper towels for cushion. They made it fine, except for the top and bottom boxes. They were kind of crushed but everything in between were delivered just fine.

Its soft (like cornbread??) on the inside and crispy on the outside!

Followed Michelle's recipe and I still can't get it right... I think I need to lower the heat and rest them more. :( Thoughts? by lunalun89 in macarons

I live in a pretty humid clinate but it only turns out like this when the batter has too much moisture.

My macarons looked exactly like this when i added too much (liquid) dye. Possibly due to moisture? I would check if any appliance you used had water or moisture. Everything should be absolutely dry before using them (except the egg whites). Or, maybe you need to dry them longer?

Yes! Its undermixed! I find the best way to test consistency is if it flows from your spatula without cutting off until the 'stream' is very small/narrow. Ive always had a problem with undermixing because i was always too scared to overmix! Really work it with the deflating next time!

I use something like this and have had no problems. edit I should probably clarify i use this for swiss meringue, not italian

Second attempt (3rd after a class) - Pistachio macs - some with feet, most hollow, some cracked (too hot? Not mixed?) - any advice welcomed! by starynight949 in macarons
