What! Nobody doing any baking this weather !!!

Just turned the oven off on two largish individual meringue which I'm baking for a diner my girlfriend and I are having on Thursday evening :j

Anyway talking about meringues. Most recipes for meringue will give you the same basic quantities:
some will add a little lemon, others cornflour, others cider vinegar but the sugar and egg seem constant

• 
4 (3) large free-range egg whites, at room temperature
• 225g (175g) caster sugar

However, the other day I was looking up a few recipes on the Channel 4 website and came across this video on how to make meringues and the chief there was saying always weigh the egg whites (and then it is twice that weight in sugar). Now I've never heard tell of doing it that way before, but it does seem to make sense at least all your measurements will be constant - as Gordon Ramsay said in one of his video clips baking is all about following a recipe to the letter.

Anyone on the board use this method.
