Why don’t marketers show you this when they sell immersion blenders? This is no Cuisinart or Braun, it’s the cheapest plastic model on the market.

The hours that I’ve wasted, whisk in one hand and slowly drizzling oil in the other, or more likely queuing with my sorry jar of Praise at a store. No more.

The world’s laziest mayonnaise recipe:

Crack an egg into your immersion blender container. Don’t even bother to separate the yolk. Add two teaspoons of dijon mustard, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 200ml of oil. I’m using canola because I’m being both cheap and lazy; if you’re neither of these things, spend some time researching the various olive oils and making tasting notes. Put hand blender to the very bottom of the container and blend until it thickens into mayonnaise.

  1. Hi Phil

    I had never seen that before, sent the link to my mother who so happened to get a fancy stainless “whizzy stick” as she liked to call it for her birthday.

    Wish you were both here……so any beers (no BBQ though).

    http://epicbeer.com their IPA is my favourite so far, although I reached for a Emerson’s oatmeal stout instead of a whisky for a post dinner drink the other night.

    That’s how my mom showed me to do ! I never did it differently, I just don’t put all the oil in one time. I just make sure all the ingredients are at the same temperature.
    Maybe it’s the belgian way ?!?
    And by the way, you have a great and interesting blog. Thank you !
