BEST Homemade Mayo (Updated: Magical 1-Minute Mason Jar Mayonnaise)

August 22, 2013 By satisfyingeats 119 Comments

044You either LOVE or hate mayonnaise. I personally LOVE it. I always have this on the table to combine with bread and tea to enjoy the freest time to play Daisyslots, my favorite casino games. I also love to play casino games at https://clubvip777.com/poker/. I can probably thank my dad for this.  I grew up eating mayo sandwiches (I know… not good), mayo in my peas from our garden, and mayo in my mashed potatoes!  I prefer mayo over ketchup ANY day of the week.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to find healthy and good tasting mayo in the store, but making your own mayo is EASY if you have the right tools. I have found that it is NOT the recipe that is usually flawed but the technique or tool that you use.
About this recipe:UPDATE: The Immersion Blender method is SOOOOOO EASY!!Check out my video here on YouTube: Magical 1-Minute Mason Jar Mayonnaise! Some people have had great success with also using a blender or immersion blender, and I have PERFECT mayo every time with both!  I have also kept this recipe SIMPLE!  Some of my recipes call for just the yolk or just the white for different reasons.  I wanted a mayo that I didn’t have to use just the  yolk, and this recipe works GREAT with the whole egg!

NOTE: Be sure to use eggs from a healthy, trusted source.  Most people worry about raw eggs, but there is no need to worry if you purchase pastured (NOT pasteurized) eggs from a local farmer whose chickens freely roam, eat off of the land and are well-cared for.   There are MANY more cases of salmonella from processed, cooked foods than from using pastured, raw eggs.  Just a thought.

So either way you make it, using an Immersion Blender or a KitchenAid Food Processor , it’s so easy and SO good!
For the food processor, there is a tiny hole in the apparatus that presses the food down that allows you to pour your oil in, and then it drizzles out!  Hands Free Mayo!  Before using my food processor, I had MANY failed attempts at mayo but this method using the food processor is fool-proof!

Don’t have a food processor or immersion blender??  Check out this Manual Food Processor. This is how your grandmother would have made mayo (just not as fancy).

WHY you should make your own mayo

First of all, homemade Mayo taste SO MUCH better than the stuff in the store, at least this recipe does. More importantly, traditional mayo that you buy in the store is made with soybean or canola oil, which is a big NO-NO! Vegetable oils have been glorified as healthy for years now, while saturated fat has been given the boot.  This is the furthest thing from the truth! Canola oil has been one of the BIGGEST Marketing Lies.  It is being pushed down our throats as healthy and this IS NOT TRUE.  Even Whole Foods uses it in all of their prepared foods! :’-(  Maybe I should send them my recipe!!

Why you shouldn’t use vegetable oils

  1. Canola, corn and other vegetable oils are usually made from GMOs.
  2. These oils are HIGHLY processed, unlike Virgin Coconut oil, butter and the real deal, lard.
  3. Vegetable oils contain HIGH amounts of Omega 6, throwing off the Omega 6 : Omega 3 ratio which should be 1:1.
  4. Veggie oils should not be used in cooking due to high heat causing the oil to oxidize.
  5. Vegetable oils contain high levels of polyunsaturated fats that oxidize in our bodies, which can lead to inflammation and clogged arteries.

For More Information, see: Wellness Mama, Authority Nutrition, Chris Kresser, Dr. Mercola It’s not Saturated Fats we should be worried about consuming in our diets, but these Deceitful vegetable oils that are hidden in MOST, if not ALL, of our processed foods!

What am I doing wrong? UGH I have a Cuisinart process so, it’s not the equipment, it’s the preparer! LOL I’ll give it one more shot next week. Not to mention, mine was super yellow too!

        Karen, I have never had a problem with it. I use prepared mustard but that shouldn’t matter. If you are pouring it in, it should be VERY slow! My Kitchenaid has a whole that the oil just drizzles through. It takes about 6 or 7 minutes for it to finish “drizzling.” The super yellow probably comes from your egg yolks… good stuff! Don’t give up… there is nothing more tasty than homemade mayo but nothing worse than when it doesn’t turn out! ;-(

          Back in the old days when I made homemade mayo, I always thought that the eggs had to be separated, and only the yokes were used. Otherwise the result was runny. Try making it without the egg whites.

        Melissa, yes I am using a Cuisinart food process so, I’m more inclined to think it’s ME that isn’t doing something correctly. It took probably 3-4 minutes for the oil to pour so, maybe I should slow it down even more. Should the pour of the oil be a constant slow pour or can I add a little at a time? Once all the oil is in, how long do you think it should continue to process? thanks I’m just not sure how long. Did I over process it? Is that possible?

          Remove half of the runny mayo and slowly add oil to the mayo in the processor. It will start getting to the right consistency. Now try to add the mayo you removed. Two things to keep in mind…. if it is runny add oil. If very thick – add egg. Always add vinegar or lime juice and salt to the eggs and whirr it a bit before adding the oil. It helps emulsify the mixture faster

      I couldn’t get my response to post your your last comment so here it is: Hmmm. Place all the ingredients in the food processor except the oil. Turn on the food processor and then let oil drizzle in. As soon as all of oil has drizzled into the food processor, you can turn it off. It should me nice and thick! It is possible (maybe) that you over processed it… this is a guess. I promise, once you’ve got it, you’ve got it! Keep me posted Karen! Be sure to use the small bowl too!

          I know this is a few months late but I have made paleo mayo many times in the last few months and I find the easiest way to get it all to come together is to use my regular blender. I also use a turkey baster to slowly drip the oil in from the top of the lid where the middle removes to add stuff. This has worked every time for me, if you haven’t got it down completely yet try this way!

        Yes, the mayo was nice and thick. I put cooked diced chicken, celery (I dried it really well) and curry powder. The first time I made it I didn’t eat it right away so refrigerated it for an hour and it was very watery. The second time, I didn’t mix the mayo in until I was ready to eat it and as I was eating it became a little watery… as if the oil separated.

          Monique, the only thing I can think is that the salt is pulling moisture out of the chicken and celery. How long did you let it is?? This does happen with any mayo based “salad” when refrigerated but I am not sure about the oil separating. I just posted the question on my FB page so check it out and we will see if others have any ideas.

    I haven’t tried this recipe for homemade mayonnaise, but I have made homemade mayo before. The key is to add the oil V_E_R_Y slowly. Seriously, it might take 10 minutes just to add the oil. If you’ve added all your oil and it just doesn’t want to work,add a bit of BOILING HOT water while blending – try a teaspoon at a time.

We make A LOT of homemade ice cream using raw eggs, and have never once had an issue. When I say a lot – we’ve been making it for over 30 years, at least 6+ times a year. Hope this helps 🙂

    If making mayo is anything like making caesar salad dressing (same principal really), I have learned from much experience that proportions of egg versus oil must be exact. I found myself attempting to make more caesar dressing than my recipe called for and it would separate and oil would end up on top in its original form. Have also found that refrigerating oil first helped and if not, put the processed batch in the fridge/freezer for a few hours and try to blend again. Will be trying mayo now 🙂

      It’s probably about the same since the only real difference is the type of oil used but it’s still a fat and contributes the same amount of calories but using olive oil is better for the body than vegetable oils.

    For everyone saying you’ll need to add the oil super slowly over like 5-10 minutes, this may not be the case depending on the equipment you have. Our food processor has an emulsifier plate attachment and you can almost add all the oil right at once. We get perfect mayo out of it in only about 1-2 minutes.

    I’m a professional cook, and mixing mayo is normal in restaurants throughout Europe. It’s way better if you use ONLY egg yolk and they gotta be a fresh eggs. Vinegar is no-no, you should use lemon juice, way tastier and healthier. This way you get very thick mayonnaise foundation, as is called. You can use as is, and if it’s to thick for your liking, thin it down with white wine, and in that case add a little more mustard and lemon juice. And you’ll get what is called mayonnaise sauce, and from that you make Green sauce, Remoulade sauce, Tartar sauce, and all other sauces… Original recipe goes: 5 yolks, 1 liter of oil, 1 lemon juice, 1 tea spoon of mustard, salt. The rest is as described above…

    Problems can occur when the eggs are not fresh.
    It helps if ingredients are at room temp.
    Also you need to beat the eggs for a bit until they lighten in color before adding anything.
    I use a hand whisk and it works fine … just takes more time, … but you won’t over process.
    Then the mustard, salt and only half the acid vinegar/lemon juice.
    I also use a pinch or two of sugar to offset the acid.

    When fully combined and light in color add only a few drops of oil at a time and whisk like mad.
    A few more drops and whisk like made until you see no sign of oil on the surface.
    Keep going until about 1/4 cup of oil is used.
    It should be rather thick at this point so thin with a little bit of vinegar/lemon juice.

    Then add more oil in a very fine stream whisk whisking.
    DO NOT LET OIL POOL or accumulate.
    I have done this on camping trips for making cole slaw or salad dressing and the scouts are amazed..

    Quick question: I have been told only to use extra-virgin olive oil, as any other kind is not good for you. As a cook, what kind of oil do you use to make mayonnaise? It it true that I should avoid other kinds of olive oil, or was I misinformed? Thanks!

      Laura, EVOO is a good fat but shouldn’t be used to fry or at high temps. I use light olive old to make mayo. It’s not perfect but it’s still much better than vegetable oils. You could use EVOO but the final product won’t taste good. I hope this helps!

    I was so excited to try this mayo recipe, I’ve been working on getting entire family GMO free and the cost of organic mayo blew me away! But my batch doesn’t taste good :-(. I am thinking one of two issues, what do you think? 1) I used organic sunflower oil and/or 2) I used a cuisanart stick blender that was very very hot by the time I finished (it took me 7-8 minutes to mix adding the oil slowly. Was my oil a bad choice? Does heat ruin it?

      Sue, in my opinion, for the mayo to taste good you must use light olive oil and I had the same experience you did with a stick blender which is why I used my food processor. I think the oil was your #1 mistake. Get some light olive oil and it will make all the difference.

    Tried this tonight. Added oil VERY SLOWLY. Ended up with a greasy yellow soup. Think I may have killed my food processor in the process. Maybe I added the oil too slowly and it over heated

      Lily, it’s been years since I used an immersion blender and there are a few different ways to do it. Some people just put all the ingredients in a jar and turn on immersion blender and it turns into mayo almost instantly. Google immersion mayo and you should be able to use my ingredient list. I hope this helps!

    My husband and I followed your recipe to a T. We put all ingredients in my kitchen aid blender and mixed together then started adding oil. It tastes oily and runny. I don’t have a processor, but the blender should do same thing except maybe the speed. How fast is your processor? Do I mix the first ingredients together 1st or just put in and then start adding oil??? I did add light olive oil very slow… HELP!!!!

      Jackie, add all the ingredients except the oil to blender and drizzle in the oil in the top, slow is key! I use my food processor bc it has the tiny hole that drips the oil. I have never had my mayo break with this recipe and using my food processor. Better luck next time.

    You and Dr. Davis (Wheat Belly) both call for ‘light’ olive oil. I only have EVOO. Is that ok to use? I have a very small kitchen and only have room for so much ‘good’ stuff:) Also, what is the reason for the light rather than the extra virgin?
    Thank you so much. Your recipes are really helping me stay on track.

    Sorry to say – this was terrible. It was looking great until I started on the second cup of olive oil then it watered down. I followed this recipe to a “T”. It tasted horrible also. I recommend telling everybody an exact brand of olive oil to use, not just say olive oil because, like wine, there are too many varieties and flavors. I just wasted two cups of expensive olive oil which is the worst part of this. Going to go buy the store kind now.

      The only way this mayonnaise will taste bad is if you did not use light tasting oil. Not just plain olive oil, it must be like tasting. It really is delicious. I try to tell people in the recipe to use this oil but people think it’s just a small detail… It’s huge! Better luck next time.

          Hello – I have made this mayo many times. My family loves it! Last time I had a failure – very runny. The only variable – I tried an emersion blender. After several attempts in the food processor, I started over then slowly added the runny batch. Thankfully it turned out beautifully thick and creamy. I have used regular olive oil and a combination of avocado and olive oils – always delicious. I recently read a comment on another site – a woman added a teaspoon of whey (left-over from cheese making) to prevent premature spoilage. I added whey to my extra-large batch – so far, so good. Thank you for the recipe and your terrific site. Much appreciated. God bless.

      Make sure your eggs are on the bottom end oil is on the top. Make sure immersion blender is all the way down at the bottom with the eggs. I personally would try it one more time using this oil mixture. Get a new mason jar, place your new eggs in the bottom and add this broken emulsion on top. I have fixed many Mayo’s just like this.
