CMB227 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I was raised in the generation where licking the spoons and bowls clean of cake batter or cookie dough was a real treat. The fact that they contained raw eggs never entered our minds. Who knew it could be a problem? My question is about eating raw eggs in the homemade mayonnaise I want to make. Do we just make a leap of faith that we will not have problems with salmonella or botulism or is it better to pay the freight and buy the paleo version from the store? Is there a way to make homemade mayo safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're concerned, you can google how to pasteurize eggs and then there is no concern for bacteria but honestly, in the years I've been on this forum, I've never heard of a single person getting sick from salmonella or botulism from raw eggs.

Thank you. I found a site on google that explained the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellik Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 How long can the homemade mayo be kept in the fridge before it needs to be used or tossed? (I love the mayo so I made a double batch!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I love the mayo so I made a double batch!) As long as the expiry date on the eggs usually - although most folk find that their mayo never sits around that long.... Enjoy!
