I got an innersion blender and it is neato. However, I tried making mayonnaise and it just refused to get thick, it just stayed pretty much the consistency of the oil. I used thiw recipe: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/delbalso/mayohand.htm I fixed it by seperating an egg and making it the way I usually do in the regular blender.

Is there some trick to making it with the immersion blender. When I make it the way I usually do, letting the egg get to room temperature doesn't seem to make much difference, but "prewhipping" the egg yolks before adding the oil does.

Someone recently posted Nancree's Stick Blender Mayo, which goes something like this (I may have halved it when I wrote it down):

1 egg at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup salad oil

Crack egg into wide, straight-sided glass jar (mayo?). Add remaining ingredients. With the motor OFF
put stick blender down to bottom of jar. Then turn it on and, rocking it gently from side to side, pull it up to the top in about 8-10 seconds.

I haven't tried this but I liked the specific instructions as to the use of the stick blender.

I used her recipe just the other day. Worked great. I might try a little less oil the next time as I think "large" eggs are getting smaller.

I didn't have a peanut butter jar so I used a big jar from stuffed olives. It was straight sided, but a little narrower.
