Become an Egg White Whipping Master
When you whip egg whites, they will not get stiff unless your bowl and beaters or whisk are immaculately clean. If there is a touch of fat or grease on them, your eggs will not puff up. If you are beating both egg whites and whipping cream, do the eggs first. Then rinse the beaters and whip the cream.
