Techniques
Add sugar to egg whites at the beginning (all at once) and whip
You can add the sugar to the whites right away and whip together; they will still whip well.
Instead of waiting for foamy whites, add the sugar at the start and whip. The video notes this works well with pasteurized whites.

Tip
Use a spoon test to judge whipped whites: soft but holding shape
Stop whipping whites when they’re not very firm but sit nicely on a spoon without collapsing immediately.
