- ✓Use aged egg whites (3-7 days old) at room temperature because they have lower pH and reduced water content, creating stronger protein networks for better piping consistency.ingredient3-7 days aged
- ✓Pipe at 45-degree angle with steady pressure to create uniform chips, as the egg white acts as a binder that sets through protein coagulation when moisture evaporates.technique45-degree angle
- ✓Maintain drying environment at 65-70°F with 40-50% humidity for 12-24 hours, as higher humidity prevents proper moisture evaporation and creates sticky chips.timing65-70°F, 40-50% humidity, 12-24 hours
