: good afternoon.
the very best way to handle mayonnaise is to cook the
yolks over a water bath. simply add all base ingredients
in a stainless-steel bowl. ingredients; yolks, vinegar,
netural mustard, salt, pepper and optional flavoring.
wisk this mixture, over a warm water bath, until
yolks seem viscous and cooked. remove from the water
and begin to establish an emulsion. slowly adding
oil and wisking. thinning with cool water as needed.
cooking the yolks is also a stabilizer. your mayo will
not break as easy.
try this method and see if it suits you.

: : : Hi:
: : : I would like to begin making my own mayonnaise at home, but
: : : am concerned about salmonella in the eggs. Is my concern
: : : justified, and if so, what can I do to address the concern other
: : : than to use the freshest eggs possible? a water bath?
: : : Also, I am wondering how people handle recipes that require
: : : wine of some sort. I don't drink very often so I don't have
: : : a bottle of wine available when I cook. It wouldn't bother
: : : me to buy a bottle, but I don't use wine everyday so it is
: : : my understanding that wine goes bad after a couple of days even in
: : : the refrigerator. It is such a waste to buy a bottle
: : : of wine just to cook a meal and have to throw out the rest of the
: : : bottle. Is there a solution? Is there a type of wine that might
: : : hold up better than for a couple of days so that I can use it again
: : : soon thereafter?
: : : Any input appreciated.
: : Forget salmonella, its a fed ruse.If its present the freshness of the egg don't make a difference, its already present when the egg is laid. More people are killed by coca cola machines,.
: : Wine keeps for months corked and refrigerated, say isn't this a pro forum?
: Hi:
: Forget Salmonella,also. Make your mayonnaise, make sure keep it refrigerated at all times since It has no preservatives. Make only what you are going to use. It doesn't take long time to make mayonnaise.
: Good Luck
