/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I tried to incorporate some tips that people here gave me since my last thread. I said my mayo was often thin.

I used lemon juice, a bit of raw microplaned garlic (maybe a bit too much) salt, maple syrup, and neutral oil
I used one whole egg and one egg yolk, I let them come to room temp
I think next time I would try rice vinegar or white distilled vinegar instead of lemon juice - but mayo tastes kinda different in a salad or on a sandwich than just tasting it plain so its hard to gauge - you want it a little overly sharp
anyways I added a TINY pinch of xanthan gum like less than 1/8 tsp and a slightly larger (maybe 1/8tsp) pinch of glycerol monostearate to thiccen and emulsify respectively, and I found the parts for my immersion blender so I didn't have to try my food processor or regular blender.

The mayo I made is very THICC and gloopy just like hellmans, No problem with it being too thin at all! Spreadable texture! I guess what I don't like about commercial mayo is they probably all use some thickeners so the texture is a bit weird. Maybe next time a bit less xanthan gum.

In summary, room temp egg + immersion blender + emulsifier + thickening agent = commercial-ish textured mayo at home

What is the best way to make homemade mayo with a food processor or regular blender?
Mine is never as thicc as I want it to be.

you are able to serve it with any dip rather. some innovations would be bean dip, cheese dip, salsa, warm spinach and cheese dip, crab dip, or shrimp dip. you additionally could make any variety of sandwiches with it and pita wallet are nice for recipes like egg salad (which continues to be good in a pita pocket yet falls out of bread and makes a large number) or tuna salad. i like to characteristic lettuce, sliced tomato and thinly sliced cucumber to my pita sandwiches too, for some freshness. BLT would artwork good too. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomato and crisp Sir Francis Bacon (nevertheless heat!) with a splash of mayo would be astounding. here recipe would additionally make a delectable pita sandwich: factors - 5 pita pocket breads (6 inches), halved 10 salad leaves one million/3 cup mayonnaise one million/3 cup bitter cream one million/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 8 oz..can pineapple tidbits, drained 10 oz..sliced cooked ham one million/2 cup chopped green bell pepper one million/2 cup chopped purple onion the thank you to make it: combination the bitter cream, mayonnaise and mustard, then conceal and relax for an hour. merely till now serving, stir interior the pineapple. Fill each and each pita 0.5 with ham, lettuce, 2 tablespoons of the pineapple combination, the golf green bell pepper and onion. This serves 5 human beings and is crunchy, scrumptious and has a stunning candy and bitter style.
