/ck/ Can you give me some good recipes for macarons? I keep fucking up. I made italian macarons today, and my shells ended up cracked with no feet. Any tips? Also does anyone have a chefsteps recipe for it?

How long did you let them sit before baking? It seems to make a significant difference for me.

let them sit out 1/2 an hour, try using a bit lower heat. did they spread when you baked them at all? it really just sounds like they're too high.

Well since it was italian macarons I didn't feel a need to let them sit out. And no they didn't spread, they rose but ended up cracking.

you probably over mixed it and there were air bubbles in the ones you piped out. did you bother slamming/tapping the tray?

The reason you let them sit out is so a shell forms, preventing air from escaping from the top, like it does in breads or cakes. Instead the air escapes from the bottom around the edges, creating the feet.

Thanks! I actually re did them any them came out alright! Some had cracks others didn't but that's attributed to the oven running crazy

Those are shit.
Sorry.
I haven't taken the chefsteps class, but the ONE time I made them I use foodwishes and they turned out fine.
The feet were fine (not great). That pics feet are non-existent. And the heads are flat. Probably too wet, but I'm no expert.
