Mayonnaise

[Alaska Woman]

I'm using the immersion blender method of making my mayonnaise and am wondering, can I make a double batch of this at a time, or will that cause  problem?

You can, it will work fine, just get a taller jar.

I am merging your thread with one of the many mayo threads on the forum already.

How long will the mayonnaise last in the refrigerator?

At least as long as the eggs you made it with. I've never had to worry about shelf life as I consume it too quickly.

When I make a larger batch, I add an extra egg yolk (or 2), but not the white. The extra water from the white can make it harder to emulsify; it might require more oil than planned. I usually eyeball it anyway and add oil while blending until I reach the desired thickness.

That's been my experience, and I have made mayo nearly every week for 5 years.

As an aside, my immersion blender died the other day! This was an emergency situation; I had to drop everything and go to the store immediately for a new one.
