Now that we're out of the very nice http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/from-rhode-island-to-montana_topic1308.html - Seidner's Mayonnaise that Dave sent to us , I thought I would try making my own. Naturally, I turned to my FOTW resource....
From Fime/Life's Foods of the world - The Cooking of Provincial France, 1968:
I'll be trying this sometime on this holiday weekend - wish me luck! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

my luck wasn't so good today. i thought i followed all directions but something went wrong. i ended up with something that tasted wonderful but was way too thin/runny, rather than "gloopy" like mayonnaise. the flavours, however, were absolutely spot on! i think that the stand mixer i used didn't do the job very well, but am not sure. will use a wand blender the next time. more to come! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Could you use it for a salad dressing? (And it does says "Sauce Mayonnaise." Maybe it's supposed to be liquid?) ------------- Melissa http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ - http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ |

i think it can still be a salad dressing - overnight i see that the components separated but the can be shaken back together! as for the sauce, judging by similar recipes i've seen, it's definitely supposed to be thick and emulsified. i think i simply executed it badly. lesson learned! a friend recommended this link, which includes some preparation notes: http://ruhlman.com/2008/05/yolk-lemon-juic/ - http://ruhlman.com/2008/05/yolk-lemon-juic/ the recipe in the link is proportionally similar to the one in my opening post, so either recipe should work, if prepared correctly ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Ron....here is the blender recipe I use ....it comes out great. Don't be afraid to add a bit of cayenne if you want to. Mayonnaise
2 egg yolks, room temperature 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 pinch salt 1 cup extra virgin olive oil Blend the egg yolks, lemon juice & mustard on hi-speed until well mixed. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while running the blender on medium speed. Salt to taste & give it a quick whirl to incorporate. Voila – mayonnaise! ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

I will have to seriously consider going that route, dave, because i'm definitely doing something wrong. this attempt turned out better, but there were still a lot of problems and the end result was not right. one thing i learned was that it is critical for all components to be room temperature. i was able to do that this time, and this kept the project from being a complete disaster. things seemed to go well until about halfway through, but by the end, the oil wasn't incorporating into the mayonnaise. it did end up separating again, but this time it seems like the top "half" might be usable, although i must stress that even that isn't like mayonnaise in texture/viscosity. i suspect that the egg yolks i am using might not be "big" enough, or that the recipe might call for too much oil, but i am not sure. i tried adding another two egg yolks after thinking of this, but it seems to have done no good. the only other factor i can think of is that i am using all olive oil for this, but as far as i know, that is not a problem. ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

hi, melissa - i have been pretty careful to separate the yolks from the whites as thoroughly as possible, but it is possible thst i'm leaving a little behind. i don't see any frothingor anything, so i think it's ok, but this is new territory for me, so i'm not sure.  ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Melissa, you might be on to something ~ my first "real" job was at the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ca%C3%B1on_City,_Colorado - Hotel St. Cloud in Cañon City, Colorado . I worked in the kitchen there, and we made home-made hollandaise sauce. I only made it a couple of times, but one thing i defintiely remember was that it had to be made while whisking over another large bowl filled with boiling water, to keep the bowl heated. perhaps it is the same here.
One thing about this last attempt, it did seem to go fairly well, up to a point where the oil stopped getting assimilated into emulsion. too much oil (or too much olive oil?) or somethng with the egg yolks might be the cause, or perhaps temperature could be as well, since things are rather chilly up here these days. To be honest, I don't know. The other wrinkle is that I never did get the "gloppy" texture that is associated with mayonnaise. I expected it to be much more yellow, due to the olive oil, but the texture, as far as I know, should be very close to store-bought, I would think. This stuff that i get is more like a thick, creamy sauce - maybe that is the way it is supposed to be?
It sure tasted good, though ~
The next time I try it, I will see about using a different oil, larger egg yolks (or maybe one extra) and keeping the bowl heated....we'll see! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Sounds like you're having a problem with the emulsification. While I've never tried making my own, it's on my list of things to make. Might want to watch this video for some tips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bKya9uMHYs It gets good right about 7 minutes in, but the whole thing is good. And here's part 2 if you want to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtTWkyIu3A&feature=related It definitely says that the fresher the eggs the better, so that may have something to do with it, too. ------------- Mike http://lifeinpitrow.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Life in PitRow - My often neglected, somewhat eccentric, occasionally outstanding blog |

one good thing is that i do have access to eggs that are darn-near straight out of the chicken, so i'll make sure to get them nest time - also, rather than bottled lemon juice, i'll try fresh-squeezed and see if that helps.
as for the oil, i like the idea of using all olive oil, but it seems that hasn't been working, so maybe i'll try a hlaf-olive-oil blend. not sure what to use, for the other half, though. canola doesn't seem right. maybe grapeseed? ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

if it does the trick, it works for me ~ lol ~
the other thing i will do is bite the bullet and do it in the blender. i've tried a stand mixer, a wand blender, hand-held beaters and whisking by hand. there have been various problems with each of these, but i have learned a few things.
i will say this - each time, using the original recipe in my first psot - it's always tasted GREAT! it just hasn't been right in texture etc. ~ if i can figure it out and get it right, this will be some wonderful stuff!

Actually, you only think you do. Heavy or flavorful oils will result in a much different product than what you think of as mayonnaise from the jar -- a product that many people find overpowering and offensive. A very light, flavorless oil like canola will result in something more familiar -- and wastes less money if your technique is insufficient to produce success. I'd recommend that you start with cheap, light and flavorless oil, and only experiment with blending in more flavorful oils once your technique is solid.

hey, daikon - that sounds like good advice, especially since i am having so much trouble getting the technique down.
i originally considered canola oil, wasn't sure how it would work. it always seems to have an "off" smell to me but perhaps the other ingredients would over-ride that.
i will give it a shot using straight olive oil first, then see if a blend or lighter olive oil might be in the works after that. ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

| If you don't like canola, then just use some other cheap, light, fairly flavorless "vegetable oil" blend. Mayonnaise is mostly about texture, and you should work on getting that right before you move on to experiment with different flavors. |

Alright, people, i haven't yet had the chance to make another attempt at this, but with spring approaching, i can see all sorts of opportunities. with that in mind, plus the fact that so many people seem to be able to make this with no problems, i wanted to post a few pix here and see if we can find out where i am going wrong.
in all cases, i've been usng the recipe from Fime/Life's Foods of the world - The Cooking of Provincial France, 1968:
this recipe seems to be similar and in proportion to other recipes i have seen, so i don't think that the problem is with the recipe; if someone who has enjoyed success with mayonnaise before would like to try this recipe and offer thoughts, i would be grateful. please note that the step at the end with the boiling water is an optional step, or a stop-gap against separation. i tried it once, but it didn't seem to work, so i haven't tried it since.
also, please note - for this attempt, i am using a wire whisk, but i have also used a wand blender and a stand mixer, with pretty much the same negative results, so i am guessing that the problem lies somewhere else.
also, no one is allowed to laugh at my equipment!
 yes, i know it is rather pitiful ~ lolanyway, here we go ~
here are the goods:
 here are the salt, pepper and ground mustard, ready to go:
 somehow, the salt got a little lemon juice on it, but that's ok.
we heated and dried the heavy mixing bowl as per the recipe; next, we commenced with separating the egg yolks from the whites, using this handy little tool:
 and now my big secret is out: the beautiful mrs. tas eats her cereal from a hello kitty bowl.
when separating the eggs, i noticed there was a little bit of goop sticking to the yolks:
 but i can't imagine that this is too much of a problem.
previously, i had tried using a stand mixer and also a wand blender, but with both of those attempts, it seemed that the blades/beeters couldn't "reach" the yolks to get started well, so for this attempt, i tried this:
 my "real" wire whisk was MIA, so i used this, which came from an old set of hand-held electric beeters; it was a little worse for wear, as you will see in other pictures, but works fine with other similar whisking projects, so i don't think this was a problem, either.
we gave it some very vigorous whisking, and seemed to be doing well, so we added the lemon juice, salt, pepper and mustard and continued to whisk:
 maybe this time, we would succeed?
once the seasonings were well-blended into the yolks, i began adding oil, very slowly, according to the instructions, while #3 son billy whisked:
 we traded off the whisking task periodically, so as to keep a good rhythm with as little algging as possible.
from the picture above, it seemed that we got off to a pretty good start, but there came a point, when there was still probably half the oil left to add, that it started getting a little precarious:
 however, we kept at it, and the problem seemed to take care of itself; here, as we added a few more drops of oil, it looked like this whole project might work this time:
 but by the time we got to this point:
 it was clear that we were going to end up with the same, soupy, runny mess that we had experienced before.
it had good colour, tasted very good and even stayed together for a while, but it wasn't long before the components separated, and we were pretty much at the same pont as we had been with the other two attempts.
for future attempts, i've resolved to use larger eggs, making sure they are as fresh as can be; i've also committed to using a different oil, rather than strict olive oil, as i had used before. i don't know if either of these two changes will make any difference.
any other ideas? ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

You F'd it up already! Seriously though, you should probably simplify until you're sure of the basic technique: 1 large egg yolk into a clean, medium-size mixing bowl; whisk that yolk until it turns light yellow (and a poor quality whisk does make your life considerably more difficult throughout the process...); thoroughly whisk in a couple of drops of acid (either vinegar or lemon juice); whisk like mad while adding just one drop of oil; keep whisking way beyond the point where you think it could possibly be doing any good; repeat the last two steps; repeat them again; repeat them again; arm hasn't fallen off yet? Good. Repeat again; seriously, you can keep going this way for as long as you like until you have eventually added a full cup of oil to that one egg yolk -- you can't screw things up by going too slow; you can screw things up by going too fast. Once you've got 1/2 a cup of oil whisked into a stable emulsion, you can pretty safely start to go faster, but not too fast! What's too fast? That is where experience comes into play. Do this once a day, every day for a week, and you'll have it figured out just how fast you can go. It will have cost you 7 eggs, 7 cups of oil, and a little bit of vinegar. A pretty cheap lesson! And your whisking technique has greatly improved. And you've got an arm like Popeye. And you've made a least some edible mayonnaise. Once you've successfully completed your apprenticeship, you can start improving flavor with salt, pepper, dry mustard, different oils, different vinegars, herbs, using mixing machines, etc. But there is no point in wasting money on the extras until you have got the basic technique mastered with just an egg yolk, a little vinegar, and a cup of cheap oil.

Dry mustard? Why? Try using prepared mustard instead, which adds a bit of acid. And fresh lemon juice.
I'm just guessing but, in like with Daikon's comments, I believe you added the oil too quickly, for one thing, and haven't whisked the mixture enough, for another. Do not discount that last; even with a power tool it takes much longer than you think for the emulsification to take place. Whisking by hand can take two days longer than forever.
One thing that's definately not causing the problem is contamination by egg white. Mayo can be made with yolks only, with whole eggs, or with mixed yolks and whole eggs.
Although I've done it in the past, I no longer make mayo by hand. Arthritis won't allow it. Of all the power tools in the kitchen, the best for this job is a blender. A stand mixer with whip works only if you're making a lot of mayo. As you found out, the whip doesn't enter deeply enough into the ingredients with a standard recipe. A mini-food processor works well too.
I've seen dozens of mayo recipes, and they're all essentially the same. F'rinstance, my basic recipe is:
Have everthing at room temperature. BTW, eggs should always be at room temperature before you cook them in any recipe. It does make a difference.
Put into a blender container
2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1 tbls French style mustard (any prepared mustard will do, in fact)
Grind of black pepper
Pinch of salt
Juice of one lemon
Turn on the blender and let it run ten-15 seconds to thoroughly combine ingredients. Then, with the machine still running, add 2 cups oil, a drop at a time. As others have noted, use a light, neutral oil until you get the technique down. Then you can play with other oils.
When all the oil has been added turn off the machine. Taste the mayo, and adjust the seasonings. Whirl it a few more seconds to thicken up and scrape into a non-reactive bowl.

| Various mixers, blenders, food processors, etc. can be made to work, but I'm of the old-school opinion that you should really learn how to do it by hand first. Hands-on, face in the bowl, and your own sweat invested tends to lead to better-learned lessons that you can then apply to machine-assisted techniques. |

You get no argument from me on that, Daikon. And, frankly, I'd prefer making it by hand, if I were still able to.
My point was simply that it takes a lot more whisking to make mayo than most people are aware. And that the oil needs to be added very slowly, whether making the mayo by hand or machine.

Yup. Have you ever come across something like Ruhlman's comment, linked above, that insufficient water can lead to early failure of the emulsion? I can't say that I have seen that before, nor have I seen a solid explanation of the science for why that would be the case, but maybe a few more drops of water or acid at the beginning would help (or wouldn't hurt.) If you want to geek-out on mayo, here's a pretty good resource: http://foodsci.wisc.edu/courses/fs532/01mayonnaise.html - http://foodsci.wisc.edu/courses/fs532/01mayonnaise.html Among many interesting components of that lab manual discussion is this particular note:
It is definitely possible to achieve an emulsion with a fresh egg yolk and without mustard, but it probably won't be stable for days without the mustard.... Another interesting bit: hard water can make the emulsion unstable. ------------- |

Have you ever come across something like Ruhlman's comment, linked above, that insufficient water can lead to early failure of the emulsion?
I must have missed that. Only comment I picked up on about water was using it to thin the mayo if it was too thick.
Normally I have a lot of respect for Ruhlman. But I don't understand either of these statements.
There must be some science behind the one you quote, but I can't guess what it is. My recipe doesn't use any water. I make Eric Ripert's truffled aioli quite often, and it doesn't use any water either.
Patterson, in his Sauces, does not include water. Listed as ingredients for traditional mayonnaise are egg yolks, mustard, salt, white pepper, wine vinegar or lemon juice, and safflower oil. And he stresses the traditional ratio of one cup oil to one egg yolk.
BTW, Patterson also says a broken mayonnaise can be brought back together by beating the broken mixture bit by bit into a fresh egg yolk. Basically, you use the broken sauce as if it were oil. I have no idea if this is true or not. But Patterson also says that mayo will not hold in the fridge overnight without separating, and I know that's not true.
As to the other, I can't imagine mayo that is too thick, nor any reason to thin it. A true aioli is thin, compared to mayo. But if that's what you want, you make one. Many people think an aioli is merely garlic-flavored mayo, but such is not the case. A true aioli is a beaten (as opposed to whipped) emulsion, and will never achieve the fluffyness of mayo.

In Spain, making home made Mayonnaise and home made Garlic Ali Oli is very common ... So, here are my traditional Spanish recipes for the two types ... and some tips:
TRADITIONAL HOME MADE MAYONNAISE
* LARGE METAL BOWL ONLY
* A STURDY LARGE WHISK
2 egg yolks
a pinch of regular salt ( do not use sea salt or kosher salt ) ( *** and ur spices )
16. fl. oz. high quality extra virgin olive oil ( if you can obtain a Green variety Spanish one like Hojiblanca 100% or Arbequina 100% from BORGES ( they import to USA ), this is even the better )
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice from the citrus fruit
1) beat the yolks in a metal bowl only until creamy and add pinch of salt to mixture ( and ur spices )
2) very slowly, drizzle and pour to incorporate olive oil, whisking at a quick beat by hand constantly until thick ( do not use a food processor or electric mixer ) AND ONLY MIX IN 1 DIRECTION
3) when it is not possible to add more of the olive oil, you shall notice that it floats on surface and does not combine
4) add the lemon juice to taste and Bottle this concoction in refrigerator overnight or 48 hours
5) then, it shall be perfect mayonnaise
TRADITIONAL SPANISH ALI OLI
**** a large metal bowl
*** a sturdy good brand whisk
*** a mortar
*** a pestle
4 large garlic cloves
5 fl. oz. E.V. Olive Oil
1 tsp. salt ( do not use sea salt or kosher salt )
1) in mortar, crush and smash the garlic cloves with salt to form a thick thick paste
2) add the E.V. olive oil a few drizzles at a time and very slowly and WHISK ONLY IN 1 DIRECTION
3) continue whisking until a creamy white ivory emulsion forms
4) when this is achieved, do NOT add any more olive oil
5) the garlic has reached its capacity to emulsify
6) continuing shall cause the the Ali Oli to break up and separate
Best of luck with this and keep me posted.
I make my own all the time, and if you follow this, you should succeed !
Margi.

How to make a fantastic mayo in... 15 seconds; You will not believe how easy it is to make a fantastic white, dense and tasty mayo. I'm very convinced you will not find a better commercial mayo! Must-haves; a narrow mixing container (use the one that came with your hand-mixer) and yes, a hand-mixer or whatever you call that thing. Break 1 whole egg (yolk + white) in the container, add 2 generous teaspoons of Dijon-style mustard, pinch of salt and pepper and 1 tbsp of white vinegar. I use my simple to make tarragon vinegar. Gently add around 300 ml oil. I use sunflower, any other oil works fine too, as long as it's no motoroil or other industrial types. (300 ml oil should be around 1/3 of a quarter??). VERY IMPORTANT; plunge the mixer in but do not start it until it's at the bottom and the blades are in contact with the egg. Now start the mixer but do NOT move the mixer until you feel that the emulsion (mayo) starts to form. This will only take around 5 seconds. Then very gently move the mixer up and down. The whole mixing takes no longer than... 15 seconds! Taste for seasoning. I always add another tbsp of tarragon vinegar. You could use lemon juice instead. Your mayonnaise should look like this;

say, everyone ~ thak you for so many great replies - lots of useful food for thought here. daikon's suggestion appeals to me, as a great way to get down into some fundamentals. i think i will begin with that, and then progress my way up from there. chris, margi and brook, thanks to all of you for putting things into perspective for me as well. with so many good comments, i believe i can bring this into focus a bit.

I'd like to change that recommendation slightly, however. Almost never will you see a call for mayonnaise made without any mustard, and the mustard does help form and stabilize the emulsion, so you may as well make your life a little easier by using either some dry or prepared mustard (fine-ground, like Dijon) in your minimalist mayo. Once you've achieved a satisfactory texture, it's easy to adjust acid, salt, amount of mustard, etc. without any real fear of breaking your mayonnaise. Here's another advocate of http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/23/dining/easy-homemade-mayonnaise.html - adding water at the outset. ------------- |

Success! My mayonnaise ambitions got put on the back burner for a a while, but while I had the day off today, I figured I would finally try Daikon's minimalist mayonnaise method, and it worked just as advertised. Using a warm, dry mixing bowl and a decent whisk, I was able to finally get mayonnaise that looked just like I expected it to, but tasted much better - no breaking, no separating, no weird colours and no ruined mess. I also learned how components seem to interact, and grew to know what to expect when I added a squirt of lemon juice or a bit of canola oil. When I got it where I wanted, I then added a little mustard powder, salt-n-pepper and a pinch of paprika. A few final drops of oil and lemon juice to get the consistency back in line, and I had some great-tasting mayonnaise. Thanks for the advice, Daikon - my arm is about to fall off, but I managed to get it done!  ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |
