25GOLDEN RULESEggs are sold in four different sizes, with medium eggs weighing 53-63g. For recipeswhere the egg whites are to be beaten, bring them up to room temperature first. Eggsmust be fresh if they are to be eaten raw in mousses, etc. If you are using them forhome baking (e.g. meringues, macaroons), it is a good idea to separate them 2-3days beforehand, storing the yolks and whites in separate airtight containers in thefridge. For egg whites to whisk properly, your bowl must be clean, with no traces of fat.2. Be prepared!The following pieces of equipment always come in useful:Measurement instruments: precise electronic kitchen scale (range:from 2g to 2kg) is vital, as is a cooking thermometer that can measuretemperatures of up to 200 °C.Baking tins: it is important to use a baking tin of the right shape, the rightquality and made from the right material. We specify which kind of tinis required for each recipe.Cakemaking accessories: cutters of different sizes, to vary thepresentation of cakes and pastries.A piping bag is vital for filling cream puffs and eclairs, as well asmaking meringues or macaroons.You will need a rolling pin for rolling your pastry out and a brush forbuttering your tins and painting egg wash on your bread and brioche.3.
