Bruh i was shocked how he actually made the mayo in like 1 minute ... i never knew you can add oil that fast wow

[@ConniJo]

@@fortazerty you can also put a whole egg, mustard lemon, seasoning into a narrow high container, blend it with a stick mixer, dump in a good quantity air oil and then blend and at the same time pull up slowly so the mixing blades pill in a little oil at the time, my mom showed me that and it's like magic. (I failed at the first attempt, because I was impatient and gave up too early, but well, everything working on the first try would be boring 😂) I like making my own mayonnaise but one egg yields for me about half a liter of mayo, and I alone can't eat that much at once, and self made mayo sadly doesn't keep that long 🥺

I got tired of just copying recipes and having to buy ingredients for one dish that breaks the bank.
