General Pavlova Tips and Tricks
As you make your pavlova, it’s worth keeping some basics in mind.
While making the meringue:
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy meringue removal.
If your recipe calls for drawing an X-inch circle on your parchment to guide your meringue formation, don’t bother—presumably you have this circle thing figured out by the time you’re old enough to read blogs.
If you’re using a rimmed baking sheet, flip it upside down and bake the meringue on the other side. Then you can slide the meringue right on to a serving platter without any lip.
