07 - Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean jar, seal, and refrigerate. Consume within 1 week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It whips up in less time than it takes to find your keys.
  • The silky texture makes every sandwich taste like it came from a deli.
02 -
  • Using cold eggs or pouring oil too quickly will make the mayo refuse to thicken and you might end up with soup instead of spread.
  • Letting it rest in the fridge makes the flavors meld together for a richer taste the next day.
03 -
  • Let the oil settle on top so it all emulsifies at once, not in stages.
  • A splash of extra lemon right at the end brings a punchy brightness.
