Hey everybody!

2
00:00:06,803 --> 00:00:08,371
This is Kenji Lopez-Alt

3
00:00:08,371 --> 00:00:09,418
And I'm going to show you a super

4
00:00:09,418 --> 00:00:11,125
simple way to make great homemade

5
00:00:11,125 --> 00:00:12,962
mayonnaise in two minutes or less

6
00:00:12,962 --> 00:00:14,109
using an immersion blender

7
00:00:14,109 --> 00:00:15,429
here's how we do it.

8
00:00:15,429 --> 00:00:17,650
Start by breaking an egg into a cup

9
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:19,127
that's just big enough for the head of

10
00:00:19,127 --> 00:00:20,419
your immersion blender to fit

11
00:00:20,419 --> 00:00:22,308
There is no need separate the egg or

12
00:00:22,308 --> 00:00:23,771
use just use the yolk here by the way.

13
00:00:23,771 --> 00:00:26,291
Next, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

14
00:00:26,291 --> 00:00:27,451
This adds flavor, but more importantly

15
00:00:27,451 --> 00:00:28,960
it helps the water, and the oil, and the

16
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,504
mayonnaise to emulsify into a creamy

17
00:00:30,504 --> 00:00:31,319
sauce.

18
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:33,871
Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

19
00:00:33,871 --> 00:00:36,008
for acidity. Fresh squeezed is definitely

20
00:00:36,008 --> 00:00:38,323
the way to go here. And if you would like

21
00:00:38,323 --> 00:00:39,980
you can also add a clove of minced garlic

22
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:40,922
at this point.

23
00:00:40,922 --> 00:00:43,069
Top it all off with a cup of neutral oil

24
00:00:43,069 --> 00:00:44,950
like canola or vegetable oil.

25
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:46,464
I dont recommend extra virgin olive oil

26
00:00:46,464 --> 00:00:47,896
for this, because the violent

27
00:00:47,896 --> 00:00:49,231
action of the emmersion blender

28
00:00:49,231 --> 00:00:50,396
can turn it quite bitter.

29
00:00:51,243 --> 00:00:52,927
Season it all with a big pinch of salt

30
00:00:52,927 --> 00:00:54,158
and a few grinds of black pepper.

31
00:00:54,915 --> 00:00:56,250
You can use white pepper, if you don't

32
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:57,713
like the look of black pepper specs in

33
00:00:57,713 --> 00:00:58,889
your mayo.

34
00:00:58,889 --> 00:01:01,204
Now here's the fun part, lower the head of

35
00:01:01,204 --> 00:01:02,750
your immersion blender to the very

36
00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:05,031
bottom of the jar then turn it on.

37
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,593
As it spins, it draws oil down into a

38
00:01:07,593 --> 00:01:10,241
vortex, forming a thick, stable emulsion

39
00:01:10,241 --> 00:01:11,733
as you slowly lift it.

40
00:01:12,123 --> 00:01:13,463
Lift it up and down a few times to

41
00:01:13,463 --> 00:01:16,557
stabilize, and you've got mayonnaise.
