12/16/2023 0 Comments Making mayo with emulsion blenderJust stand there, with the blender running, dripping oil for several minutes. I’m talking, let the oil drip into the running blender at a horridly boring pace. S-l-o-w-l-y pour the oil in while the blender is running. Place the egg yolks, salt, vinegar and sucanat into a blender and run on high speed for about a minute. Get your eggs at room temperature before starting this process.Slow dripping oil is key for making mayonnaise. About the time you think you’re pouring slowly enough, slow down. Pour the oil into the running blender so slowly you think you might fall asleep while pouring.If you do have an immersion blender, save yourself some frustration and use it for this. But I don’t have one and I refuse to buy one just to make mayo. I believe that if I had an immersion blender, this process would work much better.Based on all my trial and error, I have a few tips I think you’ll find helpful.

Gross as it is, I just had to take a picture – because I’m weird like that: That was the time I was so determined to whip the ingredients long enough and hard enough to become mayonnaise that the ingredients got so hot inside my food processor that the eggs got cooked, causing scrambled eggs to float in my olive oil. Yes, there was one time I did have to throw the ingredients out. Instead, each time, I stirred the runny, stubborn ingredients into a few cans of tuna, added some of my home canned pickle relish and called it lunch. Why tuna? Well, I wasn’t going to waste all those ingredients every time I had mayonnaise emulsification failure. We went through a lot of olive oil in the process, and subsequently, a lot of tuna. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal, except that I attempted to make mayonnaise at least four times before I could accomplish “mayonnaise emulsification”. Who knew making homemade mayonnaise for the Heavenly Homemakers Recipe Challenge would tempt me to say naughty words? I held myself back though, and merely gave dirty looks to the ingredients in my blender that were not even trying to become mayonnaise and through gritted teeth hissed, “Would you guys emulsify already!?!?!?”
