See.. I always thought that my mom used an ice bath while beating egg whites and a stand mixer on high with those whisky type beaters.
The cookbook I have says that underbeating may cause shrinkage during baking. It also says that the filling should be hot as you're spreading the meringue because it helps the bottom of the meringue cook at the same rate as the top.
