The bender makes a mayonnaise that pours creamy, and then sets up firm in the refrigerator. <br /><br />Since you have control over all the ingredients, you know it is healthy, and you can make wonderful additions - garlic or wasabi or roasted red peppers or capers - each gives a very different flavor.

I have one flat whisk called a roux whisk that really does well in the bowl I use (it's a spoon-shaped, 3-wire whisk). But I do have one decided advantage: a 7 year old who loves mayonnaise. If I tire, she's there. We tend to work in tandem as I make mayo when I make dressing, about once a week.<br /><br />But sticking the bowl into another icewater filled bowl does speed things along. A little bit, anyway...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-71379079082434284242011-07-29T16:53:44.866-04:002011-07-29T16:53:44.866-04:00Yes, I had read a number of things by proponents o...Yes, I had read a number of things by proponents of the food processor method.

I mean REALLY well. It's something like a 10 minute project with the blender if you skip all of my steps of trying other implements. I will try a cold bowl and a whisk a-la French street vendors and El one day, but I'm drunk with blender success right now and so will probably stick with the Osterizer for a while.Milkweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358496166576984299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-47867485492433753652011-07-29T16:36:10.903-04:002011-07-29T16:36:10.903-04:00i've resisted the blender because it seems eas...i've resisted the blender because it seems easier to extract finished product from a bowl and...i'd rather clean a bowl...which i think i just need to get over. <br /><br />although, i do have a fancy family hand me down kitchen aid mixer with all sorts of attachments, i'm sure it includes a whisk....which is perhaps an exception to your 'no mixer' rule? <br /><br />cold bowl! makes me wonder if you could hand whisk for a little bit in a bowl and then transfer to a cold mason jar and shake it (sharing the shaking) like whip cream except...mayo!<br /><br />i've been buying and hoarding organic mayo pints from trader joes. <br /><br />viva mayonnaise!silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449751975047255843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-32876728795606848292011-07-29T16:04:51.859-04:002011-07-29T16:04:51.859-04:00You are a kitchen badass, El.
