I didn’t follow this video’s instructions but did attempt to make a homemade mayonnaise based on a master chef’s “simple” techniques. Sadly, my item was too thin, but without the “scrambled egg” textured appearance. So, I will try this cook’s version next time. But I think I will try to hand whip/whisk the product because I have only a smoothie compact blender.
I'm definitely going to start making my own homemade Mayo now we go through a jar every week and a half to two weeks and with this inflation going on right now in Jacksonville Florida mayonnaise is $7 a jar in Alabama it's $3.90 a jar so yeah I think I can make my own a whole lot cheaper and probably will taste better
Is Avocado oil good for mayonaise?
Can I use avocado oil?
Way too much mayo to use in 3 days! I’m a bachelor and not looking to stay that way so I can’t make this recipe 🙁
Does anyone know how to make Japanese mayo? I love that mayo. Came back from Japan….I miss that in my Panko pork chops.
Is there a vegan version of this?
a hint: if your majo is separating, you don't need to toss it out. Just clean the mixer, and start over with 1 eggyolk, lemonjuice and salt, and pour the separated majo in, instead of oil.
there IS no such thing as "regular olive oil". If its not Extra Virgin its adulterated with something that shouldn't be in it. Like seed oils. Or worse yet, perfumes and dyes. Or its lampante (lamp oil). Is there 'regular wine' or 'regular orange juice'? And there is no such thing as Lite Olive Oil. Please educate yourself on what is going on (for decades) with Olive Oil. How it is processes. How a high percentage of olive oil is fake (85%).
Read the book "Extra Virginity" and learn.
sugar? since when did mayonnaise need or benefit from sugar? also see all the comments about using a stick blender. they are right
Next video please: “How to pasteurize eggs”
Amazing video ! Simple and to the point. Thank you!
Sugar in mayo? That's that plastic ass miracle whip!
Helmans is better than homemade. I know, I've tried making it.
I discovered the hard way about not using EVOO.
She’s right. DON’T DO IT.
what's the speed setting at the mixing and emulsion steps?
With the egg beaters, I won't have to worry about getting sick from salmonella? and if you wanted to cook your mayo if you use real eggs what should be the temperature to look for?
Which oil will be better to use for Mayo soybean oil or sunflower oil?
I know both are vegetables oil.
I like 10sec mayonnaise with blenderstick. Works everytime.^^
I made home mayo all my life, the only difference is that I use one raw egg yolk and one boiled egg yolk. It makes the final product more yellow though… but it is creamier and easier to start. oh, and I don’t use sugar…
Are there any spices or herbs or flavorings you couldn't/shouldn't add directly to the blender for flavored mayos?
An immersion blender works better. It is fool proof.
Yay, the humans are back in the videos!
Adding sugar to mayonnaise is absolutely ridiculous, does everything have to be sweet?
Awesome video!
I like the way you explain the chemistry!
A better recipe is with avocado oil. I found a great recipe called 60-second or 1-minute mayo. You put all ingredients in a ball jar. Then pulse with an immersion blender. There are oodles of recipes for this process right here on YouTube.
