How to Make Mayonnaise with Bacon Grease | Make Bacon Grease Mayo

[@dominicflorio5708]

I cook almost everything in bacon grease. I like to use the immersion blender on this, but it is personal preference. For me, instead having to clean a blender or processor, I like that the immersion blander makes the mayo right in the jar and you only have to clean the stick blender. I also love to add some fresh garlic to it. The trick is to grate the garlic first, before blending.

[@southernketo]

I always use the stick blender, but I got a lot of comments from folks who were messing up their mayonnaise trying to use an immersion blender. I wanted to show a little easier option that might work better for some people. I think the key is to get a really immersion blender. I really think that makes a difference.

[@Enjoymentboy]

My grandmother showed me many, many, years ago to use the failed mayo in new mayo. Once the emulsion took and she had added all her oil she would drisel in the failed mayo and it just worked. Never once saw her throw any it because the emulsion broke.

[@southernketo]

Nice! That's a great tip! I appreciate you watching and that tip may help a lot of people. I may try that in a video at some point

[@janismcgovern5067]

I have an Oster blender with a narrow bottom and glass jar. It’s about 20 years old and I use it for exclusively for mayo.

[@southernketo]

Finding one that fits good is the key! That Oster must be really well made..

[@paularaulinaitis3068]

Omg… I did that 4 years ago when we were following Paleo, and a local radio talent and chef picked it up. We did his website design at the time, so I mentioned my bacon grease mayo and he loved the idea. Everyone, this is amazing.. you have GOT to save your bacon grease and use this recipe!

[@southernketo]

Thanks! Yep! And it's cheap and easy to do. Also did my Duke's bacon mayo 😁

[@skayc1]

best 'blender' that works for me is called a whisk, it's easier for me to get the emulsion going & keep it when I use a simple whisk, no power outlet needed.

[@southernketo]

Definitely a better workout...😂 I always make mine with an immersion blender now. A lot of people have trouble with it for some reason...

[@EastTexasFoodie]

I've made other mayos using my immersion blender and have never had a problem getting good results. However, using your measurements I continue to get really thin (like water) results. I've wasted 6 eggs and 3 cups of bacon grease trying to get this right. Going back to my original recipe.

[@southernketo]

Did you refrigerate it before you tried it? It needs to be thin until the bacon grease sets up in the fridge...

[@southernketo]

Also, that was Dr Berry's recipe.. This one is mine : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4XNi6SolsuIock

[@EastTexasFoodie]

@@southernketo Ok. I just looked at your recipe and am watching the video. Yours makes more sense to me. I'll give it a try and report back.

[@southernketo]

​@@EastTexasFoodieSounds good! His was a tough recipe, so that's why I came up with my own.

[@BTSHIQ]

Mayo is easier made with an immersion blender!

[@southernketo]

I agree! But there is a bit of a learning curve... Thank you for watching my channel ! 🙏🏻

[@midnightrider7159]

I have a lil 3.5 cup kitchen aid food chopper they call it and the lid has the weep hole for emulsifying stuff like this. I just tie the handle shut to keep it running and slowly add the oil and it works great, real small so easy to store. I’m not saying it’s the best just what I use.

[@southernketo]

KitchenAid makes sound great products! I've got a few different kitchen tools from them. There's nothing like homemade mayo! 🤤Thanks for watching my channel!

[@KH-to7pr]

I have that. Gonna try it!

[@RoninDosho]

Get yourself a blendtec blender. For general use. Yes they’re expensive but as they say “cry only once”. All said make mayonnaise with a stick blender, of which several brands will get the job done.

[@southernketo]

I've been looking at those for a while... I usually always use my immersion blender, but some people had trouble using it so I was trying to come up with a way to make it easier. I also did a spreadable bacon grease mayonnaise video. It's pretty much what I make 90% of the time now

[@honeyduchesne7086]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@southernketo]

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it!

[@1timby]

I'm suprised that the bacon mayo isnt hard after coming out of the fridge. I guess you didn't use the egg white in the mayo. Something else you folks should show is how to make Ghee so that folks can buy butter in bulk and have it shelf stable. Thanks

[@southernketo]

It is pretty hard straight out of the fridge. I usually leave it out for 5-10! minutes and then give it a good stir. I came up with this bacon mayo that IS spreadable right out of the fridge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4XNi6SolsuIock I could definitely do a ghee video. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍🏼

[@1timby]

@@southernketo Would adding the whites to the mix as the recipe calls for in the Butter mayo help with this?

[@southernketo]

​@@1timbyyes, you can do the exact same thing on this recipe

[@Paul-ng4jx]

Most blenders and food processor you can’t take the lid off for safety reasons. It shuts it off so for those people you’ll just have to stir it or pour it all in and just keep mixing it until we blended.

[@southernketo]

Yep! Good point!

[@mericavanlife1517]

Ninja bullet? Going to use mine for this!

[@southernketo]

Let me know what you think!! Thanks for watching!

[@critter4004]

Did you try it yet? I don't see how you would drizzle in the grease.

[@southernketo]

@@critter4004you have to add a little in, blend it, open it, put a little more in, blend it, open it. It's not the ideal way to do it, but if it's all you have to work with, it's doable. The immersion blender is my favorite way to do it.

[@kathleenhoward3586]

I have that same blender, I love it

[@southernketo]

It's a good one!

[@TonyFreeman-LocoTonyF]

7:12 Immersion Blender.

[@southernketo]

Immersion blender is my favorite!

[@actualRocketScientist]

Use an immersion blender directly inside of a mason jar avoid cleaning too many things.

[@southernketo]

Absolutely! My favorite! Watch this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4XNi6SolsuIock

[@actualRocketScientist]

@@southernketo Sweet thanks! Great recipe. One suggestion to avoid a mess with the bacon grease I like to poke a hole and some plastic wrap that I put the top of the emergent blender through.. eventually I'll just drill a hole on a spare lid but for now this is simple and quick.

[@southernketo]

​@@actualRocketScientist thanks! That's a great idea 💡

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

I'm wondering if the same process could be done using Ghee or butter?

[@southernketo]

I've made my bacon Duke's recipe with butter, using a little less butter...

[@TonyFreeman-LocoTonyF]

I like it!

[@southernketo]

Good stuff, right?

[@rontiemens2553]

This has a great flavor but how do you keep it spreadable once refrigerated?

[@southernketo]

You will need to sit it out for a little while to get it to spread. I did this recipe that is spreadable out of the fridge 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4XNi6SolsuIock

Vitamix on sale at Costco in December 2024 $299.00

[@southernketo]

That's a great deal!

[@NormaDelRizzo]

Hi there, great video, I use a stick blender and a mason jar to make my mayo and also for hollandaise. It works like a charm and there's no splatter! Give it try, Im sure you'll use that every time:)

[@southernketo]

Hi! Yep, I use that every time. I was trying to come up with a way for people that were having trouble with a stick blender to have another option. I have a video on how to make my Duke's mayonnaise and bacon Duke's mayonnaise also. Some people were having trouble with the stick blender, So I was trying to give them an alternative. It's a whole lot easier for me to use the stick blender, but some folks have trouble with it. Thanks for watching! I need to do a hollandaise video sometime too 😁

[@triceseyler4322]

I cook sausage in bacon grease!!

[@southernketo]

It's a Jedi trick 😂

[@johnbarrett5229]

Son invest in a mini spatula. It will change your life.

[@southernketo]

A tiny version of a regular spatula?

[@billgryder4742]

Vitamix blender. They are expensive but powerful. Used in professional kitchens and have a 7 year warranty.

[@southernketo]

I need to try that! Thank you!

[@KH-to7pr]

I’ve had mine for 14 years and still going strong! Use it all the time!

[@ClintGilbert5]

food processor would probably would work better than a blender.

[@southernketo]

It would. I always use my stick blender, But some folks had trouble with it. To me, it's super easy once you get the hang of it

[@lifehappens6447]

I just use a food processor.

[@southernketo]

For sure! Good option.. Thanks for watching!

[@thegadphly3275]

Ninja Blender (mine doesn't have the grid I use funnel w paper towel wrapped around it to reduce spatter. 1 egg / per cup oil ( Olive, Avocado, i sub a bit of these too.-->Pumpkin Seed, MCT, ) 1 Tbspn GOOD lemon juice ( can use vinegar, apple cider of course;-)) 1 Tbspn mustard. Healthy pinch salt 1Cup Oil I found key is blend lemon and egg & salt FIRST, like making ceviche, the lemon chemically "COOKS" the raw egg, THEN add the other stuff... DRIZZLE OIL in... I am now going to substitute a cup of bacon grease in the mix.. I usually make 4-5 cups oil worth. Fills mayo jar.. Also: I have added Minced Garlic, Dill, Pepper, All good stuff, but NOW BACON grease, I can't wait to try. NOTES: WASH ALL EGGS... liquid is what makes it too runny, if adding other stuff squeeze out as much liquid as possible. The bacon grease will now also help make it more solid, and goooood. Avocado. I found an Olive oil mayo on the shelf, read the ingred. aaaand, it had less olive oil than SOY oil.. sheesh what a scam.. Healthy eating folks..

[@southernketo]

Wow! Some good tips there! I like the grid on on mine, but I have broken all the plastic shields, thus the paper towels 😂 a bacon grease makes it nice and thick, so you could add more liquid if you want to also. Thanks so much for watching and for the great tips. Try my Duke's Mayo recipe too! It's my favorite

[@southernketo]

And you definitely have to read the ingredients, because there are very few good quality mayos out there!

[@Ann-pn9or]

I quit eating bacon because of the nitrites, get an immersion blender at wally world

[@southernketo]

@@Ann-pn9or nitrites don't hurt you... Check out Dr Berry's video about that. Any immersion blender is a good one if you can handle it 😁

[@terriebowers7637]

buy yourself a good stick blender

[@southernketo]

I have a Cuisinart. It works perfect, but a lot of people have the same one and have trouble. I think the blender is just easier until you get the hang of the immersion. I had a lot of people message me about my Duke's Mayo video and Dr. Berry had problems with his too.

I'm sorry if they aren't working for you for some reason.
