Method (preview)

1. 1

   Combine the egg whites, sugar, and salt in a large electric mixer bowl or in a nonplastic bowl if using a hand-held beater.

2. 2

   Place over a pan of barely simmering water and stir briskly until the mixture is slightly warm to your finger.

3. 3

   Test after 15 seconds: if it feels faintly warm and the sugar has disolved remove from the pan and place on the standing electric mixer if using one (If the mixture does not feel as described, continue to stir over the pan a little longer.) Beat at high speed until the meringue forms and holds a peak, about 1 1/2 minutes.

4. 4

   Don't overbeat or the meringue will be hard to spread.

5. 5

   Spread the meringue over the pie filling, touching the edges of the crust all around and making peaks and deep swirls with the back of the spoon.

6. 6

   Turn on the broiler and place the pie under the broiling element
