Wow making mayonnaise so simple! Thank you,I made it as I needed some for a chicken salad and it turned out great.

I made this with my Cuisinart Stick Blender in 30 seconds. I put all of the ingredients in the cup that came with the blender and turned it on. Using a slight up and down motion, it was done in under a minute. I even showed a friend and now she is buying a stick blender - LOL! Since the mayo will not last as long as commercially processed mayo, I cut the recipe in half. You can add any seasoning you would like and this recipe is flexible as far as the type of oil that you would prefer.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....... I was out of mayo for egg salad. Followed the recipe as is with great results the first time. I did not have to use the full 2 cups of veg oil. And had to sub Dijon mustard for mustard powder. I am amazed at the big difference between this recipe and store bought I will NEVER use store bought. And thank you to all the reviews. Very helpfull.

This turns out pretty good, I use the stick blender. the only problem I have is it is not very thick. How do you get it thicker? I have tried using less oil, 1 1/2 cups insteaad of 2 and I have also tried using 3 eggs instead of 2 but still it is on the thin side. Even so it is very good and I now do not buy mayonaise at all.

I have always wanted to try making mayonnaise, so when I saw this recipe, I decided to give it a whirl (no pun intended). I cut the recipe in half and used white wine vinegar, because I am out of distilled white vinegar. Based on several reviews, I used a dollop of dijon mustard in place of the dry mustard powder. I put all the ingredients in the clear plastic mixing/measuring cup that came with my immersion blender, immersed the blade all the way to the bottom, and let 'er rip. Emulsification started almost immediately and the entire amount was emulsified and thickened in less than a minute. My daughter kept trying to get me to tell her what I was making, but I made her wait until she tasted it. She got a big grin on her face and said "YOU MADE MAYONNAISE!!" The flavor was really good, but I think I put too much mustard in, so next time I'll use less. I love the idea of being able to whip up fresh mayonnaise as I need it and not have all the chemicals and preservatives the store-bought stuff has, plus save money! I don't think I'll ever buy store-bought mayonnaise again.

For those of you that had runny mayonnaise - DO NOT STOP ONCE YOU HAVE STARTED. If you do, the emulsion will separate. For those that thought it was bland - add different seasonings. We have been making mayo in our family for over 100 years. We use lemon juice which we think adds more flavor, the salt will balance out the sourness of the lemon juice. We also add some tobasco - what ever amount suits your taste. If it gets too thick before you have incorporated all the oil simply add a bit of water. I notice that if I add the oil too quickly (when using my hand mixer) it gets thicker than when I am patient. Expect it to take some time, 10 - 15 minutes - unless you use the immersion blender. Don't be in a hurry especially at the beginning when you are getting the emulsion started. And you shouldn't stir this once it is made (except for adding to your potato salad or whatever) or it will separate

I use very little mayo in my diet as I try to eat low fat and simply don't really care for mayo. However, this recipe is outstanding when mayo (or salad dressing) is needed. Wonderful in tuna & egg salad, potato salad & creamy coleslaw. I use about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp freshly minced or pressed garlic, dijon mustard & minced fresh tarragon. I grow herbs in my kitchen window so will have fun experimenting with other herbs. Will also try my homemade raspberry vinegar. So many ideas & options! A big thanks to the inventor of stick blenders as nothing else emulsifies very well. :-)

So easy!

The consistency came out perfect. But my boyfriend and I found it very bland.

So delicious! I've never made mayo in my whole life and it was so simple! I did add garlic, paprika, and 1 tablespoon of water (to assist with the emulsion) for additional punch. It was FANTASTIC! You have to add the oil super slow until it starts coming together then you can add it a bit faster. Added it to this potato salad recipe: Allrecipes' Red Skinned Potato Salad. So delicious, my husband loved it! :-) Thanks rfmommy!
