Hot water does help thicken the mayo and I also put my mason jar in a microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. Thank you and thank you again! Tuna mayo here I come!

Fantastic tip on drizzling in the oil and just using what you need, not all of it! I also don’t have three hands, so I added a teaspoon at a time until I got what I was looking for.

@@CookingCompanionTV I just made it. After failing several times, your tip made the technique bulletproof! Including not using olive oil, which was also over powering; I used avocado oil. My goal was to make a mayonnaise for steak. I’ll be infusing avocado oil with parsley, then making the mayonnaise from that. Thanks to you, I am now a mayonnaiser (I made that word up) 😀.

well done jenna, thank you! the first few times i made mayo, it came out great, but on the next go around suddenly it was really thin. your tips and comments helped me get it back on track (i suspect my problem was adding oil too fast and/or eggs too cold). next time around i'll be sure to set out my eggs well in advance and slow my roll with the oil - thanks again!

+NotoriousMOK how lovely to hear!! I was so ready to throw my mess all over the kitchen - it was so frustrating! I guess it takes having a poor batch to strengthen your skill.

You'll find using your immersion blender blade is better at emulsifying. Egg at bottom of glass just larger than your immersion blender oil on top all at once. Immersion blade all the way down on the egg and hold there on low speed. You'll see it emulsifying and once the emulsion gets above the blade slowly raise the blade. Takes about a minute.

Great help! Saved my mayo, even though I didn't see this video till after I added another two yolks to the large mix. It's just extra creamy now (I ran out of oil to add). I just started from scratch and SLOWLY added the broken mixture to the new firm mayo.

Amazing!

A short time ago I had to fix my broken mayonnaise. And the reason it became broken is I didn't allow a big enough jar since my immersion blender couldn't go all of the way to the bottom of the jar. So I poured the broken mayonnaise into a bowl. Put an egg yoke in the jar, then putting my immersion blender at the bottom of jar. I then went ahead and poured the broken mayonnaise in the jar until almost full and threw the rest away. So I started my immersion blender emulsifying starting at the bottom and slowly working up. I had to go by the thickness of the mayonnaise because I couldn't see the emulsion taking place very good. My broken mayonnaise turned out perfect and it only took about a minute or so to fix it.

Interesting point! Thank you!!

Why did it break in the first place is my question. I used the same ingredients and measurements I've always used. This is the first time it didn't work. It's confusing. I'm wondering if rancid oil could cause this.

@CookingCompanionTV

6 жыл бұрын

It’s possible. If the oil is too delicate to emulsify with the yolk, it breaks. Rancid oil has broken down, so it wouldn’t behave like fresh oil.

Those both make really good sense. Should also consider that the Mayo is having a bad day and refuses to cooperate ;) Seems like no one on the Internet has figured out a consistently fool-proof method for perfect results every time.

Easy to make add more egg an broken mayo use as a oil

yum..thumbs up for you....nice

Here's the cheat, because I came here to fix a mayo attempt and I was also about $15 in to my disaster--(oh, and because you're cute!) The first ingredient in homemade mayo is...patience. But that is not the secret cheat. Patience because one needs to get their eggs blending first, and then add the oil as slow as you can imagine while it is blending. Drop by drop with 5-10 seconds between each drop. Once the blending mixture starts to look the color of mayo, you can add oil faster. Now if you have very slowly and very carefully added all of the old mixture and it is still too much like liquid, you can add a tablespoon of cold water very slowly. It sounds counterintuitive, but the mixture begins to thicken. If it is still not as thick as you like, you can slowly add another tablespoon, very slowly. It will begin to thicken. But wait! That's not the secret either. If it is still too runny at this point, you cheat. With great patience and utmost care, reach for your xanthin gum and add a 1/8 of a teaspoon, little by little. It will thicken fast. And ...done. Take a bow. Have that shot of whisky. If you needed more than an eight of a teaspoon of xanthin gum, you poor soul, have a second shot of whisky and better luck next time.

My first (and only attempt so far) split and additional yolks and whisking would not fix it. Know what did? Two blasts in the microwave. In the end, momma wouldn't use it anyway because it was "too lemony". I've not seen anyone recommend a microwave fix; I just tried it out of desperation.

Bitter taste is usually from the oil. It’s too delicate to withstand the emulsion process. You can add extra garlic and puréed herbs to mask the taste for this batch.
