PattiJ Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I love the mayo and learned how to get a great emulsion but....as I am eating it can watch it separate ending up with oil. Am I doing something wrong when making it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's not unusual for it to separate a little as it sits in the fridge, and it should come back together pretty easily. I've never seen it separate while I was eating it, though. That does seem odd. I'm not really sure why it's doing that or how to prevent it. When you make it, are you using an immersion/ stick blender, or whisking by hand, or something else? If you're whisking by hand, maybe it's not completely emulsified? (I think it would be harder for this to happen with an immersion blender or mixer, but I might be wrong.) You also want to be sure you don't add too much oil, and this depends on the size of the eggs you're using, so if your eggs are a little smaller, you may not use the entire amount of oil the recipe calls for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaliy Baker Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Is it runny mayo? Add very little oil. And beat until smooth again, as soon as the desired consistency is reached.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
