I’ve got a vague recollection that Delia and others say the key to good pavlova meringue is to open the oven door and let it cool down in the oven?
I might have made that up though

And really importantly, the teaspoon or vinegar or lemon juice that is beaten into the mixture. Acidity stabilises the meringue mixture and helps keep its shape.

I like to use 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar instead as it doesn't change the liquid content.

Yes. You let it cool in the oven. Opening the door is optional.

Thanks everyone and it does sound pretty easy, at least, easier than what I was led to believe - cheers all!

This was before I got wrinkled and good at food photography.

That sounds like you made a deal with the devil:

“Oh, I’d give anything to be good at food photography!…anything!”

POOF!
