Fixing "Broken" Homemade Mayonnaise

Рет қаралды 40,109

I love making my own mayo. I think it tastes better, and I KNOW the ingredients are better. Every so often, though, it doesn't emulsify. Instead of a thick, wonderful mayonnaise, I have something that looks like a sad attempt at aioli. It's just a thick liquid and sometimes the oil will begin separating.
In this video, I show my 3 tricks to bring a broken mayo back to life. Sometimes, just an additional yolk will work. Other times, it requires a couple of special ingredients.

Thank you for revisiting this! I don't eat mayonnaise. I have nightmarish memories of my mom dropping thick blobs onto the macaroni and ruining the salad because I broke out into a terrific, very interesting patchwork style rash from it. My solution has always been to never, ever use it. The store bought stuff has chemicals, because eggs are fine. To make mayonnaise for Granny's chocolate cake, I blend egg yolks, soft butter, and water for volume. So far, I've never had it not work. Yet.

We were singing your praises this am as I made your pimento cheese spread. Gosh it is so good! I haven’t had problems with my homemade Mayo for months now. What I found…at first I used too much olive oil; I make sure I use a measuring cup instead of eyeballing it. Then make sure my apple cider vinegar is mixed very well before adding it. My Mayo is made with 1cup of olive oil 1 raw egg 2 teaspoons of ACV 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder Blended well with immersion blender. Yum! I use it in Steve’s wonderful pimento cheese spread (try it..I use 1cup of Gouda and 1cup of Gruyere cheese instead of 2 cups of Cheddar) Tuna salad, egg salad, 1000 Island dressing, and Ranch dressing! Well and anything else I can think of 😊 Thanks Steve for all you do to support us in this lifestyle we have chosen! 🥂

Liked and commented before watching 😁. I fixed mine with a spoon of Greek thick joghurt and a spoon of mustard. Oh, and a note on egg whites:mine were still icy cold at room temp as we don't have central heating. So I let them sit in warm water for a few minutes..... That was the bomb! They whipped up frothy and thick in no time at all.

I grew up learning to cook from my mom and grandma and up until about age 6 we made mayo on the stovetop, still with egg yolks and oil and vinegar, we heated the oil and vinegar too as it seemed to help incorporation but because we cooked it - low temp and whisking we found it lasted for a good month. - my mom taught me to make ketchup, mustard etc. we also added a bit of turmeric and garlic powder to ours. Though once my brother was born she had no time for that. So we did store bought but those days were fun.

The couple of times my homemade avocado oil mayo has gotten too runny and/or visibly separated, one of two things had happened. Too much hurry had prompted me to stop the blender as soon as it "looked good." Or, I had forgotten the "secret ingredient" -- one quarter to half a teaspoon of prepared mustard. The provider of this tip said it improved emulsification without adding extra yolks and didn't affect flavor adversely (but if you get carried away it can change the color a good deal). Usually try to keep my single-speed stick blender on for 90-120 seconds, and it is both blendable and pourable (from the amount of water used) for the whole time . . .

Coincidently, ATK released an equipment video today on blenders. One was downchecked because - wait for it - it couldn’t start slowly enough to make Mayo. Starting at too high a speed, in their testing, results in mayo that is not an emulsion. A reason for inconsistent stick blender mayo fails? We are not careful enough every single time?

There’s so much cooking in keto, but I didn’t want to do more And then I was in Sprouts. Chosen foods mayo was on sale for $6.50, and there was a $2 back from Ibotta.

I have never had a broken mayo (knock on wood LOL) but after my first batch of mayo my husband remarked it wasn't as thick as commercial mayo so I always add 1/8 -1/4 tsp of xanthan gum from the beginning. I also just use the whole egg so the recipe I settled on is two eggs, 1 cup oil, 1 Tblsp white vinegar, 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp ground mustard seed, and the xanthan gum. A lot of people do have trouble with it breaking from what I hear. I also don't pasteurize my eggs so I wonder if that has something to do with it breaking. The sunflower lecithin was a trick I hadn't heard before. When people mention this I'll send them to your video ;-)

I agree that beef gelatin powder is great. Often, though, when an emulsion "breaks" and the oil separates, you need something that will bind the oil back to the non-oil (hence an emulsifier like yolk, mustard, lecithin and/or xanthan gum).

Mayo...so easy....until it's not. I did not know we could purchase that type of lecithin. I normally don't have my 2 yolk avocado oil mayo break any more, but usually my fix is just one more egg yolk, plopped right into the Mason jar with the runny mayo....wait a few minutes for it to "sink" or just push it to the bottom when I put the stick back in. That usually fixes it, but if it's really runny and separated, I'll add a whole egg and that has always helped me. (If the original yolks were at room temp, the fix yolk or egg is always straight from the fridge.) My Cuisinart stick blender only has one speed. Back when I had more breaks, I sometimes would make a seriously delicious "sauce" from the runny stuff...I'd add extra lemon, maybe some cayenne and use it as "sauce" for asparagus, steak or chicken breast....it was actually so yummy sometimes, I wondered why I didn't just make that sauce!

I use a whole and unpasteurized egg such that a broken mayo only results a very once in a while; like once every couple of years when making it weekly. It's nearly foolproof - nothing like your "broken" ratio of 1 in 4 or so. The usual fix is to start with another whole egg at the bottom of the newly-cleaned-narrow-as-the-blender vessel followed by the imperfectly emulsified liquid from the first go 'round. Then place the blender all the way in for a bit then slowly withdraw once more. If that doesn't work (which only happened once in 7 years) then I resorted to your other listed techniques. My only consistent mayo fails were trying to use yolks only for which the yolks were set aside the day before. So, I accept the small salmonella risk on the washed (and made more porous) USA eggs and allow the protein in the albumen to assist even when doing a batch using up extra yolks for their varying amounts of natural lecithin. There are rare versions of mayo that use no yolks (1 egg white to 1/2 c oil) at all that I haven't yet tried. So many options!

I haven't seen your original recipe video, so I'm wondering why it would do this? Mine never does. Are you adding water to the original recipe? That's the only thing I can think of because oil and water don't mix. I use 2 whole eggs to a cup of avocado oil, 1 Tbsp. vinegar, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt. That's it. Turns out perfect every single time. Sometimes, it ends up too thick, but never too thin. It may start out a little thin right after blending (helpful for pouring it into a washed out, reused squeeze bottle from storebought mayo, which also helps it last much longer due to less exposure to air than a jar), but should always thicken in the refrigerator as the oil begins to solidify. If it's too thick, I can simply blend in a little more oil, but never water.

@SeriousKeto 2 жыл бұрын

If oil doesn’t mix with water, then it also wouldn't mix with lemon juice or vinegar. What makes them mix is emulsification, via the yolk and mustard along with shear (blending). Lecithin and xanthan gum are also emulsifiers.

2 more: 1) Say your sauce/mayo/hollandaise/etc has separated over night: Add a few drops of lemon juice/citric acid. Reblend. Note: Emulsions like it warm ( Foams prefer cold) 2) Use aTblSp of Dijon mustard (NO fancy shmancy aromas added, just the pure stuff) fir every egg yolk.Surprisingly, imho it does not over spice the mayo, but tastes will differ. Alternative esp. for the Brits or people living in other civilized places that have it in their stores: Use straight mustard powder, it‘s a fantastic emulsifier.

This worked perfectly. If I wasn’t keto, I would have never had xanthum gum on hand.

I don't use water at all, just 1 egg, tbsp ACV, olive oil 100 ml, mustard 1 tsp and gets perfect every time:))

If you have a formula dialed in, by all means, stick with it.

I find that my baconaise melts on warm food (like burgers). Have you found a solution to that?

If you use pasteurized eggs (or use the microwave pasteurization method I show in the original video), it should last at least a month. Unpasteurized, I believe the FDA recommends a week (though they tend to err on the side of caution).

Any reason why you did not pasturize the egg yolk by heating to 160 degrees before adding?

I said that was what I was doing per the original video. Maybe I should have shown it in the microwave…

I’m glad to see this, it happened to me and I got discouraged so stopped making it. I was wondering if it had anything to do with humidity, since it was during the summer. I’m looking forward to making it again knowing I’ll have these tips available 😊

Another option with thinner mayo is to take it as an opportunity to make some clean and delicious salad dressing! Ranch or bleu cheese anyone? Mmm!

When I do bacon grease mayo, it's pretty close to like butter. However, it DOES melt when put on something hot.

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSES OF LECITHIN AND XANTHAN GUM AND IN LITTLE QTY , WHY NOT CREAM

@SeriousKeto Жыл бұрын

Lecithin is an emulsifier. It binds fats and non fats. Xanthan gum is both an emulsifier and thickener. For both, a little goes a long way.

The key is not to add salt and acid to the eggs before you mix the ingredients. I found this out through practice. The salt ruins the yolks. Add the salt and acid after the mayo has developed.
