Something went wrong here… The last two batches cracked. Could it have gone wrong in the oven?
The meringue was beaten stiff
I set the oven to 175°C (347°F), but my oven thermometer reads 155°C (311°F)
After baking, I let them dry for 7 minutes at 80°C (176°F) with the door slightly open
They started cracking after about 2 minutes
The tray was placed in the middle of the oven
Convection setting
I have some batter left to try some other settings. What to do?

I would lower the oven temperature to 140 to bake them and also let them dry for a bit longer. Maybe 10-12 minutes.
Crush them roughly and mix them in ice cream. Sorry for your loss.
Oops, something went wrong with my English.
