I read that a huge number of people mess up their meringue because of one thing
I was looking at a baking science site yesterday and it said over 60% of failed meringues are because of even a tiny bit of fat or grease in the bowl. I always knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was that high. I found this out after my own lemon meringue pie turned into soup last weekend. Has anyone else had a meringue just completely fall apart on them?

Oh man, that soup feeling is the worst. I had a chocolate pie do the same thing at a family dinner, it was so embarrassing. I'm almost paranoid about cleaning my bowl and beaters now, I even wipe them down with lemon juice or vinegar sometimes. What kind of pie were you trying to make?

Did you ever consider maybe your pie just wanted to be pudding, @bettykim?
