I have followed several recipes for lemon meringue that are listed on this site, but I still have that metallic taste. Has anyone ever had this problem? The pies look great, first bite taste great then there comes that after taste of metallic.

Try using a glass pie plate - use can also use a glass or ceramic bowl to whip the egg whites.

When your making your lemon curd think of the vessel your using. Try not to use metal pots. Some pots have a coating that wont leach the metal into your mix. Even with the egg whites think of where your whipping them is it with a mixer then you should be alright. Cooper? Should be ok too. I assume it's in your lemon curd.

Are you using a tin or aluminum pie plate? The acidity in the lemons might react. Use a glass pie plate. Acid and aluminum do not go together (same with cooking tomatoes in an aluminum pot.)

do not use a metal mixing bowl.
try adding a bit of powdered sugar to enhance the taste of meringue

Always use a glass or ceramic pie pan and use a pinch of cream of tartar with the LEMON part of the pie.
Good luck.
