How to use immersion blender for making mayonnaise

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use an immersion blender to make mayonnaise:

Ingredients:

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, mustard, and salt. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients together until well combined.
2. While blending, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Make sure to keep the blender running continuously as you pour in the oil.
3. As the oil is incorporated into the mixture, you will see it start to thicken and emulsify. Continue blending until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
4. Once the mayonnaise is fully emulsified, turn off the immersion blender and transfer the mayonnaise to a jar or container.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. You can add additional salt, vinegar or lemon juice, or mustard to adjust the flavor to your liking.
6. Store the mayonnaise in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.

Tips:

• It’s important to use room temperature ingredients for making mayonnaise. Cold ingredients can cause the mayonnaise to separate or not emulsify properly.
• Make sure to slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream while blending. This will help create a stable emulsion.
• For additional flavor, you can add herbs, spices, garlic, or other seasonings to the mayonnaise as desired.
