For anyone that struggles to get their egg whites to whip, highly recommend giving the bowl and wisk a wipe down with vinegar or lemon juice. Any potential fat would be essentially neutralized, eliminating that as a possible reason for them not whipping. Works every time for me

Little something to add on to your fantastic grease tip. (Great job by the way, no one mentions that) In the bakery we always prepare a meringue bowl by putting a large pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar into the bowl, swish it around and run your whisk through the mix. Then rinse and get most of the water out but NEVER dry it off. The bowl will be free from grease. Always use metal or glass but never plastic because the plastic actually absorbs fat, and never separate eggs with your hands. Not only is it unsanitary, but the oils interact with your perfect eggwhites and could ruin your delicate meringue. Happy baking!

Trick I learned is to wash your mixing bowl super well with hot soapy water, then once that’s finished, use a small amount of hot water followed by coarse table salt. Scrub the entire inside of the bowl with this salt slurry, drain and rinse off. The salt helps pull any hidden grease/fats potentially worked into the bowls after repeated uses

Reminder to anyone using Aquafaba. Some people are horrifically sensitive to it. Don't just call it vegan. Say that it's Aquafaba before you end up with a friend vomiting and crying in your bathroom. 'It's just bean juice' Some people can't have bean juice. (Insert random hateful comment about non vegans here) you didn't need to go there. If you don't want to use eggs, by all means. Just let people know. Many people are fine with it.

I want to say that you can save a meringue when a small amount of fat is introduced. You can do this by adding extra acid, acid is commonly used to help the eggs foam. The most common acid is cream of tartar but citrus juice works. If you're really in a bind and using strong flavorings vinegar can be used. Just beat the egg whites adding in the acid a little at a time till it works. Also do not do this as a means to not clean the bowl as well as possible. This works for trace amounts not a greased bowl.
