What's this odd stuff coming out of my meringue?
I used this (http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/58871/authentic-french-meringues/) recipe, but added some vanilla, probably a bit extra sugar, and baked them at 185 instead of 200 with the door open.

Definitely egg white seepage, by the looks of the shape of it you've either over whipped the egg whites OR let them sit for too long before cooking which meant they spilt slightly before going in the oven.
Another possibility is the oven wasn't hot enough to begin with OR the environment (kitchen) was too warm.
When ever I've cooked meringue I've had the oven on 180 for 10min then turned it off and left the meringue in undisturbed over night. Never had any issue's that way. The only time I've had seepage is when I've beaten my eggs then got disturbed by a check coming on and having to leave the whites for 5-10min before shaping and cooking...

Basically, under-baking means there is too much liquid left in the meringue, which causes the foam to collapse and the excess liquid to seep out. This problem is common with recipes such as lemon meringue pie, where the baking time is short and the majority of the moisture in the meringue mixture remains.Why is there liquid coming out of my meringue?

Beading is caused by overcooking. The proteins tighten and squeeze out water droplets, which brown because of the sugar they contain. Try lowering the temperature or decreasing the baking time, or both together, to solve a beading problem.Why is my pavlova oozing?
This is when there's liquid seeping out of the pavlova (i.e. weeping). This can happen while the pavlova is cooling, or even while it's baking. The liquid \u201cweeps\u201d (seeps out) and puddles at the bottom of the pavlova. The culprit here is the sugar in the meringue, which \u201cmelts\u201d out of the pavlova.Minecraft wait what meme part 255 (Steve's heart)
