Have you ever made your own mayonnaise?

[Raincity]

I did it Logans way and it turned out pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDDcv8Jg8ks

But it's yucky.

What? What?

 

[WelshBloke]

I've made Aioli before, which is essentially Mayo made with Olive Oil.

You dont use olive oil for mayo?

The main difference between aioli and mayo for me is the raw garlic in the aioli, they are both made with olive oil.

 

[WelshBloke]

What? What?

Helmans is OK as far as commercially made mayo goes but freshly made stuff is so, so much better.

 

[Captante]

Done it a few times ... tastes great but I'm too lazy to do it often.

Never tried with bacon grease though.

If I don't have large eggs can I just use two egg yolks instead? What kind of immersion blender do you have?

This is the immersion blender I have:

I used to try with a food processor, but it is really hard to make a small batch. You would need to get the oil in there to bring the level of material up to the blades and it never really emulsified.

I think using one whole egg and two yolks would work just fine. I've seen places say to use just the yolk and then water, but that is silly. No water. The egg white works fine.

Thanks! It looks like mine has the same blade clearance as that one.

What I realized is that I mixed up the recipe with another one I had seen and never added the 1 tbsp of water to the egg mixture (nor the mustard but it said this was optional) which probably means my blades were significantly above the egg mixture. So I'm pretty sure I was done for from the beginning.

Mayo, aoli, same same. An emulsion like we're talking about is a protein bond (egg yolk) between a water molecule and an oil molecule. The type of oil matters only for taste. The emulsion is more easily formed when the ingredients are warm. One tip other than mixing innthe oil slowly is to add a spoon of prepared mustard. This greatly aids in binding the ingredients.

Would mustard powder work? If I use prepared mustard from a jar, does it matter if it's dijon or spicy brown or etc?

It depends on the diet of the person making the mayonnaise.

I've never seen regular Mayonnaise made with Olive Oil. It's usually made with vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.

 

[Gerle]

Isn't bacon grease too solid at storing/mayo-making temperature?

 

[Nintendesert]

The thought of vegetable oil or canola oil mayo is just fucking disgusting. BARF.

 

[Bateluer]

Mayo? No.
I've made my own yogurt-like concoctions by leaving milk in the fridge several weeks past the Use By Date though.

 

[HTFOff]

Why is it that random deli mayo blows away anything you can buy off the shelve.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Every time I rub one out!

Eggs. Oil. Perishable. Shelves.

You. Out of this thread right fucking now!

Put that shit on a salad. Or whatever it is you fucks do with it. We're talking mayonaisse and aiolis.

Homemade mayonnaise? :hmm:

This took way too long

 

[Binarycow]

every time my spouse wants some mayonnaise on her sandwich I just whip it out and let her shake it a few times.

 

[z1ggy]

My gf tells me my homemade mayo tastes salty. I tend to release a few batches of it per week for her tasting.

If your sexual secretion looks anything like mayonnaise, you should seek medical attention.

That's even yuckier than Hellman's/Best Foods. Ugh.


You probably use Miracle Whip too, don't you? Admit it!

Had it look like tapioca pudding one time complete with clear little blobules. Kinda freaked out me out but it went away in a 6-8 weeks.

 

[Kadarin]

I'm surprised you guys do this, it sounds like way too much effort to me. Is the taste that much worth it?
