Homemade Mayonnaise in 2 Minutes or Less

[ClaytonRayG]

How long will this store in the fridge? If I happen to want to make a mason jar full...

[particle409]

Will that kill any salmonella in the egg? I had it once, now I'm extremely careful.

[mrcuddles100]

@particle409 Does it look like it was cooked in any way to kill the bacteria? Why do you think pregnant women are told to avoid eating mayonnaise? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you're stupid.

WHAT MAGIC IS THIS

へぇ～！ビネガーじゃなくてレモン汁使うんだ～

あたしはワインビネガーで作ってます！＾＾

[Zbadz]

GODDAMN that's a lot of oil

[Brokent3eth]

looks like magic

[ecuayay]

you can't find better background song for mayonnaise. :)

[Lyeni]

..........that's a lot of oil

[IllumeEltanin]

Kenji, a pretty obvious question, but just to make sure. I prefer Mexican mayonesa, made with lime juice instead of lemon juice. Will a simple substitution of lime juice work in this procedure?

[Phillychuck]

Can normal people buy the safe raw eggs to use in something like this?? I've never seen em.

[kenjialt]

@Phillychuck You can get pasteurized eggs, or in a pinch, you can use egg beaters.

[islandbhoi]

Tried this twice and it didn't work either time. I used sunflower oil which I don't think should have hindered the process or would it? Will try again another time.

[kenjialt]

@islandbhoi No, it should work fine with sunflower oil. Was yor container the right size to just fit the hand blender?

[islandbhoi]

@kenjialt Ah that might be the issue. I don't have a hand blender container and used a french press :-) maybe not narrow enough.

[dr3ami3oL]

what's neutral oil?



[ejicon]

Awesome but still disgusting. Thanks for sharing. You have soft looking hands ;)

[nemo2e4]

Last time I used mayonnaise: Large spoonful in a pan; heat; watch small amount of egg separate and cook, leaving a pan of oil with a tiny bit of egg in it.

Uggh.

[Angelinasmonkey]

Is amazed by the number of people not knowing the constituent parts of Mayonnaise. Wait until you find out what's inside 'Cotton Candy'!

[Livingreciever]

@Angelinasmonkey LOLOL!!! this comment wins.

[grace317]

@Angelinasmonkey Isn't it jut ugar?? ._.

[FightWithCudgels]

that was so fun to watch!

[MsLuvU143]

mostly oil?. no thanks. nice video tho.

[SpamOfCan]

@MsLuvU143 Mayo's been "mostly oil" since.... ever. You're telling me you actually didn't know what's been on all of those sandwiches you've eaten?

[MsLuvU143]

@SpamOfCan nope don't like mayo in them

[SpamOfCan]

@MsLuvU143 Good, more mayo for me then! Om nom nom! ^^

[efrenefrencom]

omg i didnt know mayonnaise is mostly oil!

[xcstar1753]

Thanks for this!

Could you tell me what the background song is?

[kenjialt]

@xcstar1753

It's a royalty free song called "Long Stroll." (just google "royalty free music")

[machonelo]

stupid coment system

[CubicSymmetry]

Do you think this would work in a traditional blender, too? Or would that ruin the emulsion because the oil would be mixed in too quickly?

[kenjialt]

@CubicSymmetry It depends on the blender. If the jar is narrow enough, you might be able to. Definitely not as foolproof though.

[machonelo]

even better: use the whole egg and skip the water...

also you can add some herbs, garlic or wathever you like to add some flavour to your mayo

[iamchaossthought]

@machonelo Egg whites do NOT equate to H20

[machonelo]

better yet: skip the water and use the whole egg...

also, you can add a garlic clove or some herbs

[romulusnr]

Kudos on a 100% (well, at least 98%) useful video, with minimal unnecessary nonsense.

Any reason why not to put the salt in before mixing?

[kenjialt]

@romulusnr No reason, other than that you might want to adjust it after it's done anyway.

[tbyrdrandom]

what is "neutral oil"? Will olive oil work? Canola?

[bhaelochon]

@tbyrdrandom Canola and grapeseed are neutrally flavored. Olive oil has its own distinct flavor. That's not a bad thing, mind, as long as that's the kind of flavor you want in your mayo.

[kenjialt]

@tbyrdrandom light olive oil will work, as will canola, grapeseed, or vegetable. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as blending it releases bitter polyphenols. Better to start with canola, then whisk in extra virgin by hand in a bowl it that's what you want to add.

lifehacker anyone?
