If I don't have a stand mixer, how bad would it be trying to mix by hand? I mean, aside from my arm getting really tired, will it compromise the final product? Thanks!
I wish I had good news for you. If you have Arnold Schwarzeneggar arms, you might be able to do this by hand. I tried and couldn't begin to come close. I'm afraid a stand mixer is a must. Maybe you could borrow one from a friend?
This seems to me to be similar to making Divinity candy (which has egg whites, and therefore is NOT vegan).
I've made it with a hand held mixer. It's hard and it will wear your arm out, but it CAN be done. You need a large mixing bowl with a rubberized or non-slip bottom and a pretty powerful hand mixer (Mine is Cuisinart, I think). And a lot of arm strength and stamina.

Can you please put more pictures of cooking marshmallows? I'm kind of not getting it... Many thanks in advance. :)
