Merangue advice

[unlikelychump]

My merangue is not quite ready and I want to go to bed! I reckon it needs another 20-30 mins

Do I:

1. Also wait up another hour for it to cool before I put it in a container?
2. Leave it out on the counter all night?
3. Turn the oven off and let it cool in the oven all night?

Please!

Switch the oven off and leave it there overnight to dry out, never fails for me.

Switch the oven off and leave it in there overnight

3 if you want a crispy meringue, 2 if you are after a more pavlova type chewiness to it.

I always leave my meringue in the oven overnight.

Yes!!! I was erring towards 3. I feared people would say that was slovenly!

Definitely 3.

The meringue recipe I use actually says to turn off the oven and leave it in there overnight. It's never failed for me.

Would help to spell meringue correctly!
I you do not have the correct ratio of sugar to egg white it doesn't really matter.
I would do as others have suggested and just leave the meringue in the oven overnight.

Who says I don't have the correct ratios, are you watching me? 😁

Would help to spell meringue correctly!

Would it? Everyone knew what op meant. No need for this comment.

Wow Captain Spellcheck, who put 50p in you?

I always like it when people can't spell the same words I can't spell.

Yeah I couldn't be bothered to comment on the spelling slur. But the suggestion my "sweet treats" weren't made correctly pushed me into indignation! They look great today, pleasingly.
