This method for making mayonnaise with an immersion blender doesn't work at all. It remains 100% thin liquid. After the immersion blender accomplished nothing, I transferred the mixture to a Vitamix blender. On the highest speed, it still accomplished nothing. It does not magically turn into mayonnaise. This method does not work at all.
Thats all yolks!
Dan and his team are a treasure !
Love avocado toast!
How long can I keep the egg yolk sauce?
I just want them to taste like an egg yolk wita pinch of salt and black pepper.
My brain hurts for all this goodness
An egg yolk on ice cream is a hard sell for me….but I’m open to trying it because I trust Dan 🍳
It would have been better if you mentioned exactly how much oil, salt and lemon you put in the jar before the immersion blender. Fresh Mayo is great…if I only knew how much to add to the yolk!
Can the yolks be salt cured without the sugar? Diabetics want to know.
Egg yolk: is 20% protein. Dan: it’s PACKED with protein.
I met a dude from a band called "Yokelore" the other day. I guess they're big. He wasn't amused when I told him his band sounded like a mall brunch spot in middle America.
Your links are terrible! It forces you to create accounts and pay for recipes. :-(😞
Mayonnaise is just raw egg yolk, a hint of seasoning and veggie oil, right? So why don't I like it??? I absolutely hate mayonnaise!!! HELP!!!!!
Sooooo… How about fried egg yolk on regular white bread toast…???
nice
I Love and have always Loved Egg Yolks!!! I am always looking for new ways to enjoy them!❤️🧡💛🥚🍳
The best of America's Test Kitchen … is you! Thanks for all the info. So informative and entertaining! Grating the egg yolks! Goodness, who knew! Well, I guess you did. Make more of these vids, please!!!
I am intrigued by runny yolk sauce. I wonder how long it keeps?
Salt caramel cured egg yolk 🤤
I still eat avocado toast and occasionally an avocado bagel. Soy sauce cured yolks are absolutely spectacularly delicious! 🙂 I buy my avocados Frozen now because I can never count on getting an edible avocado!
I lived in the UK for many years and the eggs and dairy are something like I have never seen or tasted. Then I moved to Morocco where everything is hand raised on small farms and all cows are grass-fed. The eggs and dairy were I'm going to say phenomenal but they really is no word! I came back to America to orange juice colored egg yolks.
