By leveraging the IT infrastructure or IT ecosystem and LLM AI models, while also incorporating our own knowledge, we have the opportunity to create both visual, verbal, and written media on a wide range of topics. This is an advantage we didn’t have in the past but now have access to, so I believe it’s important to seize this opportunity. I believe it would be particularly meaningful to share some dishes we know the recipes for on digital media. In this context, I’ll share a few sample cooking videos; however, I don’t plan to produce cooking videos regularly. The content I’ll share is intended solely as an example and to highlight the compelling aspects of IT and AI. Unless a new need for IT or AI arises in the future, I don’t plan to produce additional content.

Classic Meringue Recipe: Ingredients and Preparation Steps

First, I posted a video of meatballs I made using family recipes. Now, I’ll share meringue, a dish I’ve made countless times out of curiosity and experimentation, but no longer enjoys frequently for health reasons. Meringue is a sweet and delicious dish made with egg whites.

Required Materials

• Eggs: Six eggs are enough to make enough meringue for a standard oven-sized baking sheet. Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks. Not a single drop of yolk should be mixed in. By the way, we never throw away the yolks; we store them in the refrigerator to use in different recipes soon.
• Sugar: 2 cups of granulated sugar is used for 6 egg whites. There’s no need to use powdered sugar; regular granulated sugar is fine.
• Salt: A very small amount, just sprinkle a little with your fingertip.

Necessary Kitchen Utensils

• Mixer: A high-speed electric kitchen mixer is required.
• Glass Bowl: A large, flat glass bowl with no indentations or protrusions is preferred.
• Pot: A pot smaller than the bowl, so that you can sit the bowl on it for hot water.
• Spoons: One tablespoon and one teaspoon are used.
• A piping bag if the meringues are to be shaped
• Baking Paper: Required to line the baking tray.

Preparation and Construction Stages

1. Separate the whites and yolks of 6 eggs. Care is taken to avoid mixing any yolks into the whites. Place the whites in a large glass bowl.
2. Bring a small amount of water to a boil in a pot, then turn off the heat. Place the glass bowl over the pot, making sure it doesn’t touch the water, and whisk the egg whites over the hot surface.
3. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and start mixing with a mixer at low speed.
4. Slowly add the first cup of sugar while the mixer is running. Increase the speed as you add the sugar, just enough to prevent the sugar from spreading and slowly incorporate all the sugar into the mixture.
5. Once the sugar is completely mixed in, the mixture is whipped on high speed for 10-15 minutes.
6. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Scoop the mixture with a tablespoon and place it, piece by piece, onto the baking sheet using a teaspoon. Using a piping bag, you can shape the dough into balls. You’ll get approximately 25-30 balls.
7. Preheat the oven to 100°C and place the baking tray on the top shelf. Bake the meringue at this temperature for at least one and half hours.
8. If desired, the cooking time can be adjusted to ensure a crispy exterior and soft interior. If left to sit too long, the exterior will become evenly crispy and may turn slightly yellow.
9. Meringues can be enjoyed right after they come out of the oven, without waiting for them to cool. Covering them with plastic wrap will keep them fresh and away from moisture and external influences.

With its white, sugary, and slightly crunchy texture, meringue is a dessert that brightens up life both visually and deliciously. Bon appetit!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NOTES

When you ask the AI ​​model the prompt, ” Can you research and find the best meringue recipe? Can you provide alternatives regarding ingredients, preparation, and baking conditions? “, it will provide detailed explanations of granulated sugar or powdered sugar options, mixing times ranging from 10 to 25 minutes, baking temperatures ranging from 75°C to 150°C, and the associated cooking times. This prompt also reveals that meringue is also known as meringue and that there are Swiss, Italian, and French styles.
