  5. In a large pyrex bowl mix the egg whites and sugar together.
  6. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water. Stir with a rubber spatula until the sugar has dissolved, continue heating and using a thermometer continue heating until it gets to 71c.
  7. Remove the bowl from the heat and using an electric whisk beat for 8-10 minutes or until stiff glossy peaks form.
