For best results, ensure all ingredients, especially the egg yolks and oil, are thoroughly chilled before beginning the recipe. This helps to promote a stable emulsion. While a hand mixer is recommended for optimal control and texture, a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment can also be used. Monitor the consistency closely to prevent over-mixing. Adjust the amount of vinegar and lemon juice to suit your personal taste preferences. For a sweeter mayonnaise, add a touch more sugar; for a tangier flavor, increase the vinegar and lemon juice. Homemade mayonnaise is best consumed within 5-7 days and should always be stored in the refrigerator.

Jun 3, 2025The key is definitely adding the oil slowly. My first batch was a disaster, but the second was perfect!
