    Tips & Tricks

    • For best results, all ingredients and mixing bowl must be at room temperature. 
    • If mayonnaise does not thicken, transfer into a bowl and set aside. Place an additional egg into mixing bowl and mix 1 min 30 sec/speed 4, very slowly pouring reserved mayonnaise mixture onto mixing bowl lid, letting it trickle into mixing bowl. 
    • If you prefer to use olive oil. Opt for extra light olive oil to create a milder,more neutral-tasting mayo.

    VARIATION

    • Garlic mayonnaise: start by placing 1-2 garlic cloves into the empty mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 8. Proceed as per recipe.
