You make it look easy Jacques. Best TV chef ever. How long will this last in the refrigerator? The kind in the store lasts nine months or more. Guess only one way to find out. I`ll try it. Thank you

[@davidhalesmith2491]

Homemade mayo like this with good olive oil in the mix is SO GOOD you’ll never need to worry how long it will last in the fridge. It will be gone so fast you’ll be making another batch by end of the week! ;-) I will say it’s easier in the food processor or even mortar & pestle than by hand whisk but so worth it once you get the hang of it!

[@GrikWorldNomad]

I would say at least a week, just my guess. Vinegar and salt are great preservatives, it's just the egg yolk that makes me think that....

[@Xorobabel]

Probably ~5 days given the egg yolk.

[@aragregorian6039]

17 years...

[@aragregorian6039]

Please address him as Chef Jacques. And no, he is not a TV chef! 17 years....

[@MathaGoram]

I still remember vividly watching him reconstitute a sauce passionately while other very famous master chefs chatted away in the background. What he has done to elevate our senses (it is way beyond education) is immeasurable. We are indeed lucky to receive his guidance all these years after he crossed the pond.

[@samcooke2742]

As long as Jacques Pépin is in his kitchen, there is still hope for this world.

[@jasonparrish8670]

How our mechanized food industry fooled everyone into thinking one of the mother sauces was boring. Jacques brings us back to the ease and pleasure of making things ourselves that don't taste like they're off a production line.

[@mr.booboo1]

understanding your sentiment, the art of cooking with its throws and caveats, confuses more than entices the everyday consumer. you often see it manifest with such questions of "how much salt do i add to sauerkraut", when the answer is plain and simple to anyone who understands what goes into making sauerkraut, an unequivocal, "enough to make it salty"-but this is a non answer, snarky, and doesnt seek to help, but to mock. no single group of people has been "fooled", rather, you might just say theyve been enticed to laziness

[@anaxiomenes3964]

In first world countries people barely have time to prepare food at home. That’s the main reason the food industry exists. (The same reason the textile industry exists!) Now, a food product made in large scale at a food processing plant has to to fulfill a minimum criteria related to technical and organoleptic details, leaving aside costs and packaging details. When making mayonnaise at home JP style… you are customizing the product using ingredients that at large scale are simply not cost-effective. The use of food preservatives for functional and safety purposes in commercial products… that’s another topic.

[@BM-ru7ef]

Nobody fooled me. I think you presume too much.

[@LudiCrust.]

Homemade mayonnaise is delicious & way better than what you buy at the grocers. Ketchup is the opposite though. I prefer Heinz ketchup to any homemade ketchup I’ve ever tasted.

[@rosselliot8971]

I make mayo very successfully and have done so by hand for many years but I have never seen that much oil added that quickly. Respect to the master. I must try harder.

[@vygalnix7769]

Chef Pepin making mayonnaise by hand at his age. Valour!

Nothing like home cooking. You control the ingredients and quality. No preservatives. Thank you Jacque!

[@evildos]

Home made mayonnaise and fresh bread for the win !

[@sakaridis]

I love how everyone always says that you need to drop the oil super slowly, no more than a couple of tiny droplets each time, and then you see THE MASTER showing you, in the most casual way possible, that if you simply keep a steady stream at first and just whisk vigorously, you'll be fine. 😁

[@csflmich2239]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@GrikWorldNomad]

Just go very slowly until it's emulsified. If it breaks just add warm oil so it starts emulsifying all over again. Chef Jaques didn't add lots until he saw it all nicely blended

[@edwardsmith6609]

Mustard is the great secret emulsifier, and when your 1 yolk to 1 cup oil ratio mayo has more mustard than yolk, its easy peasy.

[@mr.booboo1]

grats to the editor at kqed, for making the saturation on these videos a very appealing tone. this drinks for you

[@callmechia]

I did this once years ago when I needed mayonnaise and didn’t have it… but I had the ingredients, so I made it. One of my proudest moments lol. Sometimes it’s a great feeling to be resourceful and do something from scratch.

[@kqed]

That's rad! Be proud of that.

I just love listening to his voice to say nothing of his cooking.

[@cumnmrmptaaa4234]

Jacques, i just made mayonnaise for the first time in over a year and completely screwed it up, right after I decided to give up you upload this video, time to give it another shot

[@user-qy4ov8dp5y]

Ако майонезата се пресече, вземете още един жълтък, разбъркайте го и постепенно и бавно добавяте на части от пресечената смес.

[@GrikWorldNomad]

@@user-qy4ov8dp5y would adding oil work also?

[@user-qy4ov8dp5y]

@@GrikWorldNomad Моля да уточните въпроса си относно добавянето на масло. За кой момент при приготовлението на майонезата говорите? Ако тя вече е пресечена, добавянето на масло няма да я спаси. Започнете отначало с жълтък, както вече споменах, и после бъркайки, прибавяте на малки порции от пресечената смес, за да стане хомогенна.😊 BG

[@kqed]

Jacques is here to help. Give it another try and let us know how it goes.

[@RottenMuLoT]

I swear I would not try to make my own mayonnaise ever again. Last time was a complete fiasco. But you restored my confidence, so I'll try again in the future. Merci Jacques,

[@kqed]

So glad you want to try again. You got this!

[@DasHemdchen]

Take the egg out of the fridge early. If you‘re using a hand mixer, use a bowl with a diameter just a little larger than the mixer.

[@mattcv86]

I can’t get enough of Jacques

[@kqed]

Neither can we.

[@mcvc]

a lot of skill on display for something so deceivingly simple! what a master of his art!

Happy cooking!

[@Starfish56]

Nice to learn.

[@andrewcain6518]

I have hens. So i keep my eggs room temperature. My oils are a bit chilly because my pantry is as soon as i brought my oil to blood temperature. Bang. Smoooth like mayonnaise. Failed twice this morning and couldn't figure it out because I have made hollandaise many times. Watched Jacques do it twice. Rocked it. Hail to to the chef!

[@stevenmaskell8430]

Literally just made it. Worked exactly as it should. The eggs and the oil at room temperature made a difference.

[@rickbourn971]

Mr. Pepin, I could watch you boil water all day and be perfectly content! Love to hear your directions, suggestions and memories. Thank you for sharing with so many people throughout your career and life! My wife also thanks you as I do most of the cooking now and follow many of your recipes!🙂

[@davidreese4474]

So cool.

[@garyhenderson9303]

I love watching his videos, he is so relaxing I feel my blood pressure dropping in seconds. I also love how he uses the bottom of the spoon to do tasting so as not to put the working end of the spoon after it was in his mouth back in the food he is preparing. So many people just use the spoon then put it back in which for me is like someone spitting in the food they are preparing.

Due to a soy allergy in the family, I’ve had to make mayo fairly frequently. This is so much easier than the blender method. I pasteurize my eggs first and I’ve used a whole egg, but this looks super easy!

[@Grotto_Ulrica]

Years ago, I discovered that if you make the mayonnaise by hand with a whisk, you get the soft creamy texture as seen in this video. If you use a mini (or whatever size food processor), you'll achieve a very firm textured mayonnaise that's very close to Hellman's, I suspect that's because of the blades whipping all that air into the mixture and also achieving a significantly higher degree of emulsification of the ingredients.

Every time I break up an egg , it's on a flat surface to avoid pieces of shell. Picked up this advice by watching a cookingvideo of mr. Pepin many years ago.

I cheat~~ I use a hand-held Immersion Blender and make it right in a Jar

[@richj011]

Smart!

[@1b1uster]

Not cheating. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” BTW, I make hollandaise sauce with an immersion blender with hot clarified butter in a tall metal container like the ones they use in a malt shop. Foolproof!

[@catherinemori4496]

Exactly!

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

making mayo is so simple

[@messey12]

As Regular Ordinary Swedish Mealtime would say: It's good for you.

[@Tstumpman]

I will say, that if Mr. Pepin gives me mayonnaise for lunch, I'm eating mayonnaise for lunch.

[@kqed]

Yes. Chef.

[@GrikWorldNomad]

Made it and it is far superior to commercial prods, plus we know exactly what's in our version. I minced garlic and slightly sautéed it, added a nice punch. Important not to make too much because I'll only keep it 5 days, plus all that oil is expensive

Благодаря за рецептата, г-н Пепен.❤ Майка ми така приготвяше майонеза и вкусът й беше несравним с готовите такива. Вместо оцет слагаше лимонов сок.

[@perfectman3077]

[@william38022]

Should we try to find pasteurized eggs or will the vinegar and pinch of salt basically pasteurize the eggs for us?

[@callmechia]

If you’re worried about food borne diseases then I’d look for pasteurized eggs. Many people are not, or aren’t immunocompromized, so they don’t mind eating raw eggs. It’s totally up to you what you’re comfortable with.

[@user-qy4ov8dp5y]

Майонеза може приготви и със сварени жълтъци, които се намачкват добре преди да се добави олиото.
