  1. I agree. I never make mayonnaise with the white and I only use the yolk. I do not have a big food processor or stand mixer in my RV but I do have a simple stick blender. I have some organic peanut oil because it is high heat and has a clean taste so would use that but I might add a little bit of olive oil at the end, depending on the dish.

  2. I'm glad to see this done with a whisk, I think for people starting out it's good to learn the basic techniques then build on those with gadgets and appliances. I enjoy watching a mayonnaise come together as I'm whisking it and I still whip egg whites in my copper bowl with a balloon whisk and knead bread doughs by hand. I don't use my Kitchen Aid nearly as much as I thought I would, though I can't say the same for my Vitamix.

    I'm glad to see so many cool appliances and tools, many of which used to be exclusive to commercial kitchens, available to make cooking enjoyable for so many, but some of us find pleasure in the old "long form" processes.

  3. ONE EGG, ONE CUP OF OIL, little Vinagar and or Lemon juice, mustard, salt. Throw it in a container. Put STICK BLENDER/Hand Blender at the bottom and blend till you get that white mayo then slowly pull up mixing the rest. DONE. Takes about a minute. Hand mixing is insane. No separate egg yoke.
