Need more information. What type of stick blender? I have an older
(ca. 1998) Cuisinart cordless immersion blender that might be good for
scrambling eggs, but would not rise to whipping egg whites. Do you not
have a hand or stand mixer (or was this question answered when you
stated: "I only have a regular stick blender")? Even an old rotary
beater, IMHO, wouldn't make the *stiff* peaks you're likely looking
for. I don't know how anyone achieved this prior to the invention of
the electric mixer, although a quick look seems to argue that
meringues, say, have been around since the 16th century.

With a whisk. It's not that hard. A big whisk, in a big bowl.

I was first taught to do it with a table fork :-)

The only thing I would add is *a copper bowl*. The role of the
copper is known and it is not regarded as harmful.
