Questions about Mayonnaise
How do you stop homemade mayonnaise from splitting?
Start with the egg yolk, mustard and vinegar or lemon juice at room temperature. Whisk in the oil drop by drop at first; once the mixture thickens, add it in a thin, steady stream. If it splits, whisk a teaspoon of water in a clean bowl and gradually beat in the broken mayonnaise.
Can you make mayonnaise with a hand blender?
Yes. Put a whole egg, a teaspoon of mustard, a little vinegar or lemon juice and the oil in a narrow jug. Rest the blender head on the bottom, blend until the mixture turns thick and pale, then slowly lift the head to incorporate the remaining oil.
How long does mayonnaise keep once opened?
Keep commercial mayonnaise covered in the fridge after opening, and follow the use-by guidance on its container. Homemade mayonnaise should stay chilled and is best used within two days.
What goes well with mayonnaise?
It is a classic match for chips, cold meats, prawns and hard-boiled eggs. Stir it with chopped gherkins and capers for tartare sauce, or with garlic and lemon for an easy dip.
Which well-known dishes use mayonnaise?
Potato salad, coleslaw and egg mayonnaise sandwiches all rely on it for a creamy dressing or filling. For a tuna mayonnaise sandwich, mix the mayonnaise with drained tuna and a little lemon juice before adding it to the bread.
Can you eat mayonnaise made with raw egg?
Commercial mayonnaise is made with treated eggs, but homemade mayonnaise may contain raw egg. Use pasteurised eggs, keep it chilled and serve it promptly; avoid serving raw-egg mayonnaise to people more vulnerable to food-borne illness.
What can you use instead of mayonnaise in a sandwich?
Thick Greek-style yoghurt makes a tangier, lighter-tasting spread; add mustard or lemon to give it more punch. For an egg-free option, use vegan mayonnaise, which gives a texture and flavour closer to the original.
Can you cook with mayonnaise?
Yes: brush a thin layer over chicken or fish before coating it in breadcrumbs, which helps them stick and brown. Cook the food thoroughly; mayonnaise is not a substitute for checking that poultry is cooked through.
