All I have to say is, Cook's Illustrated lied to me.
They told me that if I whipped a cornstarch mixture into my egg whites and baked the pie at a lower temperature for 20 minutes, I wouldn't have weeping from my meringue. So I dutifully followed their instructions, only to be horrified to discover that my pie hadn't just been weeping, it had been positively sobbing all night long.
My poor, sad, inconsolable pie, with your deflated top and beads of carmelized sugar water. What am I to do with you now?
