meringues/dehydrator/salmonella

[Guest guest]

Hi,

if you decide to ONLY stick your meringues in the dehydrator,

salmonella can multiply nicely. That is, if your dehydrator heats up

till only 158 Fahrenheit or 70 Celsius.

To avoid any risk, stick them in the oven first to fully heat

the 'core' of the meringue.

Oh, the recipe from Pecanbread says to bake them at 150. Since my

dehydrater goes to 155 I thought that would do the trick. Any thoughts on

the Pecanbread recipe? What temp do you cook them?

What temperature would you have to cook them at to reduce the risk of

salmonella? My recipe for meringues uses a temperature of 120

degrees. I actually increase it to 160 - 180 usually because it

takes forever at 120.

Thanks

120 is fine and it does take long, because the meringues sort of dry,

in stead of bake.
