I use Nigella's wedding pav recipe for Xmas as the family just loves it.
It uses 8 egg whites and I heat the oven to 150 then turn it down immediately to 120 and cook for 1 and a half hours, then turn the oven off, leaving the pav in until it has cooled down.

I use my trusty old Kenwood and credit it for my pavs! Maybe wrong but find beating for a lengthy time helps! Use caster sugar and make sure it is desolved. small teacup per egg white, pinch of salt, make sure bowl is clean, tablesp of water before adding egg whites. Teasp vinalla, vinegar, tablesp of cornflower, even a little baking powder at the end. Heap on greaseproof, oven about 180 but turn down immediately and if cooking too quick open door till heat reduced! (Know this is against alldetails!) About 1hr if you are in a hurry, or turn off oven and leave for 2 or 3 hrs, even over night! Super crust outside pav and soft centre! My only party trick but now son has follwed my instructions and getting the same results! Guess who is making the Xmas one???

if you google the specs for your mixer or if you still have the box and manual it should say how many egg whites it does

when making Pavs remember to use the wisk attachment and they should work out fun

I have a Kenwood mixer, six egg white pav is the max. I make the icing sugar one, never failed me yet. We used icing sugar in ours in our bakery, was a little more stable than sugar.
pavlova....large Beat until thick and smooth ......approx 15 mins 6 egg whites, 3 Cups Icing Sugar, 2 teaspoons Cornflour, 2 teaspoons White Vinegar, add 2 Tablespoons Boiling water............, Pile onto a baking Paper lined oven tray Cook for 5 minutes at 200 degrees C, then turn down and cook a further 1 1/2 hours at 100 degrees C. (Leave in oven to cool)

I make the crunchy one with soft centre its is beautiful. Preheat oven to 130 fan bake. Whip 6 egg whites - start at half speed and then once they are thickening rev them up. Beat these for a few mins. I then add 1 cup sugar in 3 parts with a good minute or two between each third. I let that mix another minute or two and it will be very soft high peaks. I turn the mixer down to low and add 2 tsp cornflour and then 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp of vinegar (approx). Mix in. This is piled and shaped onto a baking paper on tray and I make a hollow in the middle. Bake for approx 2- 2 1/2 hours or until you feel the crust is formed and is dry. Turn the oven off and leave. Gorgeous and easy.

Robert JohnsonIn regards to attic vents, whole house fans are very effeicint when the weather is hot during the day but cool at night (my guess is you're talking about a fan that only vents the attic). Since we're usually away during the day, the house sits uncooled and can get very warm (we don't leave the AC on when we're not there). When we get home, we crack the windows and turn on the whole house fan. I have a 2600 sq ft home that gets nice and cool after 45 minutes with one whole house fan. The fan sucks in the cooler outside air and vents the hotter air into the attic. You can actually feel the cool air pouring in.
