This is very common in Italy. But you can make mayonnaise also with robot,
it is the same thing. I have used mulinex but it isn't true that you make
mayo in ten seconds. Few minutes!

I own the moulinex. It's sooo quick. I've never timed it, but I wouldn't
quibble with 'seconds.'

Yes and no.

I have had three different wand blenders. One didn't do a very good job
of making mayonnaise and it took rather a long time. Too weak. The other
two do it in a matter of seconds. All the ingredients in a tall, narrow
container; wand blender all the way to the bottom, then start it. Slowly
lift it up to mix all the liquids and it's done. 10 or 20 seconds
depending on which blender and how much mayo you're making.

This is with all ingredients in at once? No multiple additions
or slow pouring of the oil? Cool.

Yes, Mayonnaise is very easy to make with a stick blender like that.
(Chances are, you will seldom if ever use the other attachments.I
bought a Braun blender at the local hardware store for about $20.)

In a glass jar (I use a peanut butter jar) put, in this order:
1 room-temperature egg (if necessary, warm it in a cup of hot water.)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tsp salt.
1 cup salad oil

Put mixer all the way to the bottom *before* turning it on. Then turn
it on, rock it slowly from side to side while bringing it to the top.
Eight seconds is about all it needs.

Comments:
==Having the egg room temperature is important
==Don't use olive oil if you want American style mayonnaise. Olive oil
will work, but it will have a heavy flavor.
==Fresh lime juice is important.

I make this regularly. Haven't bought mayonnaise in years.
Enjoy.

Is it true that with such a mixer mayonnaise can be prepared in mere
ten seconds ? One of participants in a local forum claims that she
put all ingredients in a bowl and after start of mixing with her
special mixer the mayonnaise is ready to eat in ten seconds.

I can't see how, and you would certainly not just be
puttng "all the ingredients in a bowl" and then start mixing.
Mayonnaise is basically an oil/egg emulsion, and you need
to beat the eggs first and THEN add the oil gradually -
dump in all the oil at once, and it doesn't work (the
emulsion "breaks"). So no matter what mixer you use,
it's going to be longer than 10 seconds. (I do mine in
a food processor, and I can't see any particular advantage
in using a stick blender.)

But it's not THAT much longer - OK, so it's a matter of
minutes rather than seconds; it's still way better than
anything called "mayonnaise" that you can buy at the
store, and it's always flavored the way YOU want it!

Bob, it's a pain in the food processor compared to the blender. I kid you
not, it is done in less than a minute.
I have done it both ways.

Yes, quite true. In fact, my stick blender does it in 7 seconds. I timed it.

A few months ago I read a paper on food science. In it he proposed a
formula to describe the factors affecting the making of mayo. One factor
was the rate at which the oil was added, another was the amount of
energy expended in making the emulsion. Obviously a stick blender will
be able to apply far more energy than a hand-operated whisk. As a
result, the oil can be added more quickly. In the case of blender stick
mayo, enough energy can be introduced to allow you to add the oil all at
once.

I didn't look at the link, but doing it with a stick blender and 10
seconds sounds about right. BTDT. MOF, I've got pictures from when I
did it in January. Pretty slick.

I am assuming that the ten second timing started after the ingredients had been assembled and
into the blender bowl. I have made mayonnaise several times and it does whip up very
quickly, but you have to make sure to drizzle the oil slowly. Ten seconds might be pushing
it, but not much. It is fast. I suspect that if people realized how fast and easy it is to
make mayonnaise more of them would be making it.

No, I use a 200w Braun and the tall, narrow jar that came with it,
following Nancree's recipe and procedure given in this thread. I use
safflower oil, and sometimes lemon juice instead of lime. Works just
fine. It may not work as well in a shallow bowl, I dunno, but in the
narrow jar that blade generates more than enough energy. Her comment
that the egg should be room temp is right on, too, maybe that was your
problem. -aem

Now does anyone have a recipe for making Miracle Whip? (I'm kind of
serious.) I think maybe you could start with homemade mayo and whip in
some cooked flour and milk paste and a little sugar...

You don't have to drizzle the oil at all. You just put everything,
(egg, oil, lime juice, dry mustard, salt ) in at once and then put
stick blender to the bottom of the jar before you turn it on. Then
turn it on, and rock it slowly side to side while bringing it up to the
top. Takes a few seconds only. See my posting above.

I would rather suggest to stick with coconut oil for any thermal food
preparation, as in the oil saturated fats dominate with more than 97
or 98%, as molecules of saturated fats are stable at high
temperatures and so they don't form cancerous toxins, contrary to
unsaturated fats when heated. It also does not contain transfats, nor
a cholesterol as butter, nor it affects a cholesterol in a body.
Save oils with unsaturated fats for salads and sauces if you are
concerned with health.

Can't start with mayo. Taint no eggs in miracle whip. That's the
miracle.

I wouldn't call that a miracle exactly... My guess is the miracle is
that people buy it :-) Too much vinegar and sugar in it.

I only eat egg-free "mayo" (it's called salad dressing or salad cream
if it has no eggs) but not Muhr-Ackle Whip.

I prefer the original to the other two.

Personally, I've never heard of the dump method. Why not try it and
get back to us on if it works or not? You don't need a stick blender
if you don't have one on hand.

Also, I think 10 seconds is a bit fast. It takes that long just to
pour in measured ingredients! I'd drizzle in the oil instead of
dumping it in all at once, but if you use a (regular) blender or food
processor to make mayonaise, it's very quick. If that person had said
a minute or two, I wouldn't be surprised.

If you dump everything in a tall slender container, it separates with
the oil on top. When you start with the stick-blender at the bottom you
are not mixing in all the oil at once, you are mixing it in as it gets
pulled into egg mix down at the blades.

It might work if you dump everything into a food processor or a regular
blender, but I wouldn't count on it. The stick blender has a definite
advantage here.

I never noticed that! Maybe it's the eggy taste in mayonnaise that I
don't like; I thought it was the oiliness. I only use real mayo for
making deviled eggs and I use salad dressing (usually Miracle Whip) for
everything else.

Once you have your ingredients in the container, (then you start counting
your seconds, not before!, but you don't have to count seconds--) you put
the stick-blender down into the container, turn it on, after it has blended
a couple of seconds, you move your blender upwards and downwards maybe once
or twice. That's it.

Thanks, but I've already got one. Wouldn't be without it for
many tasks (cream of whatever soup, for instance) - it just
never occurred to me to try making mayonnaise with the thing.
Must be a blind spot or sumthin'.

Mine's a Cuisinart cordless - can't say how it compares
with others, as it was the first one I ever had and I got it
as a Christmas gift a couple of years back. I would
especially wonder about how it compares with a corded
model in terms of power, but I just know I'd be dragging the
cord through stuff if I had one of those. And this one seems
more than adequate for anything I've tried so far.

Not speaking from experience, but I'd start with an "oilless" bechamel,

Omg, I think I love you. I've been meaning to get out sheol's food
processor and try making mayonnaise, but can never be bothered to set the
damn thing up. My Bamix, on the other hand, I love with an unholy passion.
I shall use it to make some mayonnaise tonight.
*kisses bamix (unplugged )*

One question: how long does it keep?
