meringue

Until your arm literally fucking drops off and the cramp in your hand has driven your fingernails half an inch into your palm.

Until you realize you'll never make good meringue at home and go buy some

Meringue is easy as fuck to make, come on.

It'll be quite a while. However long your recipe says for a stand mixer, it'll probably be half again as long whisking by hand. That said it's certainly doable.

Definitely possible. But you might want to do it with someone so you can take turns whisking.

You forgot to add no homo.

It might not bake as well, but it might be faster if you add an extra teaspoon of cream of tartar.

That, it you can attach a the whisk yo a power drill.

depends on how stick-like your arms are. whisk until stiff peaks faggot.

This man knows

Long enough that it's worth going out and buying either the cheapest electric mixer (about $15) or the cheapest electric drill (about $20) you can get.

My standard
2 egg whites
3/4 cup white sugar (blend a little for superfine, but not quite powdered)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or whatever nonfat flavor you like)
Whisk egg whites with salt and cream of tartar (5-6 minutes by hand) until soft peaks form
Add sugar and whisk (a more grueling 5-6 minutes) until firm peaks form
Pipe or spoon (I like the look of spooned meringue) onto a baking sheet and bake at 230-250°F for a two-three hours
Turn off oven for four-five hours and leave them in there
They will keep for three days in an airtight container or a lot less long not sealed (moisture will get in and make them a chewy mess)

OP just get on of these. Immersion blenders with whisk attachments has displaced hand mixer for usefulness.
