Re: Re: Problems with mayo

[Guest guest]

I should change that because safflower oil alone makes me very nauseas.  I use walnut oil if I have it or a blend of very light olive oil and walnut oil.  Canola oil seems neutral enough, I just never have it since walnut oil is kind of a luxury to me ;-)  I've tried lots of cooked recipes (afraid of the raw) and this one always seems to work but that's just me.  With the exception of a couple of scrambled eggs sometimes when I first start...

The first time I made this it turned out so well I gave myself a pat on the back and thought " wow, lookie there!, I can even make MAYO! this SCD stuff is sort of fun! " Next time, not so much, it took 3 different attempts and a dozen eggs to get it right...I blame the " safflower " oil I had on hand, by the 3rd attempt, I had run out of that newly bought oil and used my good old olive oil I had made my first successful batch out of and viola, perfection. I'm not suggesting all safflower oils do this (or why would they have it listed specifically in the recipe, right?) just thinking that the brand I had caused me grief and I won't be trying THAT ONE again! Not sure if you are having a similar situation, but thought I'd share in case changing the oil used brings you success.

My guess is that I should blend it on low instead of high so the thick parts don't stick to the side? Oh, and also i used canola oil and apple cider vinegar, don't know if its best to use other vinegar/oil. I did pour the oil in very slowly but it wasn't the same stream the whole time (sometime it turned into drops, and i had to readjust my position a couple times). Any suggestions?

Thanks for the recipes/suggestions!  I dig olive oil, but doesn't it usually congeal if refrigerated?  I'm gonna try some of these variations next week.  Need a little break before more more trial and error
