"Ina's Pavlova looked so gorgeous that I decided to make it for a holiday party. This dessert was a weeping, severely cracked mess. I was unable to serve it. I followed the directions exactly (even used an oven thermometer) for 180 degrees, and left it in the oven for the specified time after baking. The sides cracked, the center fell in, it stuck to the parchment paper so there was no way to plate it. Any weight at all would have totally collapsed the whole thing. I have all of Ina's books and depend on her recipes as my "go to recipes that I can trust". I am determined to find a meringue recipe which works because this dessert should present so beautifully.
