Pro Tip
How to Fix Broken Mayo
When the blender’s blades spin for too long, they can cause the sauce or spread to get too hot or overly blended. The dressing can then break—the oil will float to the top while the solid fats sink to the bottom. If you find yourself with a broken mayonnaise, here’s how to fix it:
- Transfer the broken mayonnaise to a liquid measuring cup.
- In the blender jar, place 1 tablespoon of water, lemon juice, or vinegar, and 1 egg yolk. Pulse to combine.
- With the motor running, very slowly add your broken mayonnaise to the blender, starting with just a couple of drops and gradually increasing to a thin stream as it thickens.
