Additional advice

Know that it is important that the container in which you put the ingredients is perfectly adapted to your blender .

Indeed, the diameter of the container should be barely wider than the end of your blender.

The mixer head must reach the egg/lemon mixture at the bottom of the container. If the mixture does not come into contact with the blades of the mixer, then double the proportions just before starting.

Know that you can keep your mayonnaise in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Why does it work?

Thanks to the hand blender, you can put all the ingredients, including the oil, directly into the mixing glass.

As oil is the least dense food of all the ingredients, it will rise to the surface.

When you put the hand blender in the glass, the blades will be in direct contact with the egg yolk, water, lemon and mustard.

By turning on the immersion blender, it will create a kind of whirlpool (a vortex) which will gradually bind the oil to the rest of the mixture.

Good to know

- For this recipe, I do not recommend using extra virgin olive oil. It is better to take another vegetable oil.

- I used to say that you can't miss this recipe but in truth, I should just say that it is delicious! Because even so-called foolproof recipes can sometimes fail.

- If your mayonnaise does not set, the problem is certainly the container used, which is not suitable. It is imperative that the diameter of the glass is slightly larger than the head of the hand blender. Why ? Because the blades of the blender must be in direct contact with the lemon/egg mixture before turning on the blender for it to work. The mixer head must be held firmly against the bottom of the container until the mayonnaise begins to set.

- In the end, if your mayonnaise is liquid, it means that the emulsion was not well done. In this case, I advise you to use our trick here to make up for too liquid mayonnaise.
