I am going to have a mental breakdown over meringue

1/2 cup of egg whites and 1tsp cream of tartar. The egg whites are room temperature. I washed, dried, and then rinsed the mixer and bowl with vinegar and dried again. I can’t get them to stiffen. I’ve tried a kitchen aid, a hand mixer, and an immersion blender 😩
I have spent hours trying this. I’ve started over several times

They take a f*cking lot of time and nearly perfect conditions, it's a battle already lost in the beginning, especially with a sh*t oven like mine.. the few times I've tried making them I ended up with something that more than a dessert worked better as glue

@Elessar it’s usually in the over where the disaster happens 😂
