You have got to try this. I am so excited to find a faster more consistent way to make mayonnaise. My friend Sonya was getting frustrated with her mayonnaise making endeavors when she decided to try a new method by using her kitchen aid mixer. She did it twice and had excellent results which she promptly shared with me and I am so glad she did! After I tried it and was totally wow-ed, I edited my original post here.
I have been making homemade mayonnaise for a year and when I run out and don't have time to make up more, I use that despicable stuff from the store and it tastes horrible to me now. It seems like this happens frequently where I will ban something for it's ingredients, even though I like how it tastes, then after an extended hiatus, I can't stand the stuff anymore.

How long does homemade mayo last? Because we don't eat mayo too often, but often enough.
ReplyDeleteI am totally going to try this. Thank you for your example and hard work!
ReplyDeleteYou will eat more mayo once you have had homemade. It lasts 2 weeks, and does not freeze! Tried that, it separates.
ReplyDeleteAwesome tip! I am going to be making this, finally!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried putting whey into the new version? And how much and when is the whey added if you do?
ReplyDeleteI tried making mayo awhile ago and wasted an entire bottle of olive oil and a bunch of eggs. It would look good, I would get excited, then suddenly it would separate. I was just annoyed. I'm totally trying this way, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done too much with making cheese, so I haven't had whey to use. It is a great idea though. You would just do it in place of the lemon juice or vinegar in this recipe and want to leave it out for 6-8 hours to ferment. This would impart friendly bacteria and make it last twice as long in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Carlie, I think with the blender you have to be so diligent in keeping it scraped down so that everything is moving all the time, otherwise it breaks. Please let me know if this worked for you!
i'm going to give this a try. my husband doesn't like mayo, so we never use it, but when i do find myself in need of mayo, i'll definitely try this out!
ReplyDeleteAh, just in time. I was battling with myself about making mayo again. Now I feel a bit better about it. ;)
