I'm going on common sense here. I've never made homemade mayo. But
think of it like this: egg and olive oil basically. The egg doesn't
go bad in your fridge for a while does it? So why should your mayo.
I'd keep it refrigerated and that's it. But to be really safe, I'd
make it every two weeks. You can make small batches as well. One use
etc. Now having said that:
I have made emulsified salad dressings from scratch which are
basically mayo based. They have never had a lifespan past 30 days.
They were always used up by then. No complaints.

It has to do with the acidity/sterility of commercial Mayo and the ability
of the commercial products to inhibit the growth of Bacteria. Home made
mayo made with raw eggs is a great medium for bacteria.

Look on Snopes. subject Potato Salad/Mayo.

I've always found it kinda scary that canned vegetables have to be boiled
to beyond the grave an d vacuum packed in airtight containers or risk dying
from eating them. But mayo can sit on the store shelves for a year and
half with a plastic lid and plastic coated cardboard insert. Even a
plastic bottle of Heinz is more secure than most jars of mayo.

Miracle Whip lists as one of the ingredients in its ingredients list:

Potassium Sorbate as a Preservative.

Eggs often get sent back to the 'repacking factories' after their egg
due date is expired. To be resold.

That jarred shit isn't mayo either. It's got egg whites in it, and
it's cooked. The Hellman's/Best Foods crap that people praise around
here is made with the cheapest oil they can get their hands on,
soybean. People here who claim "no time" to make real mayo should use
some of the time they waste on Usenet.

Nonsense. Homemade mayo is disgusting. Homemade mayo has the

butt after a prostate exam... and you eat that shit... figgers, with

This says it all about your cooking, and it should be mentioned that
you've questioned the lifestyle many times.
So what does this mean, are you finally coming out and want to now
expeiment? Does this mean then that you're growing tired of
necrophilia ?

Though the subject said "mayo" note the reference to "Hellmans/Miracle Whip"
in the original post. I just gave a straight answer to the implied
question--yes, it has a preservative.

Sheldon must have gotten that male escort I suggested and did a little role
playing. Good for you! Are you and "Doc" planning on another
"appointment"?

-sw

Aha. "Sheldon" is quite manly.

I love homemade mayo, and will let it stay for a week and a half, even to two. Rare to have much left over. I like some fresh horseradish grated in it; or aioli that stuff.

I'll still use commercial for some things.

Miracle Whip equals commercial mayo plus sugar. If adding sugar is a
disqualifier okay then, but the difference is not a large one.

I thought Miracle Whip was commercial + vinegar, thus the "tangy" zip. Add lime juice to the homemade for such a zip.

They are both white. End of story.

MW is a cooked dressing, mayo is uncooked. The sugar is a big one for
me, personally, but that isn't the big difference.

Nope - look at the label again - no where does it say Mayonnaise - it's
salad dressing that is COOKED!

Different product entirely.

How in the world do you think jarred mayo is able to be shipped, put
on the grocery shelf and stored in the consumers' pantries if it's not
cooked? REAL mayo must be refrigerated. These days I guess you
could, theoretically, electronically Pasteurize, but TTBOMK, no one
does that. Jarred mayo is cooked.

The first ingredient in Miracle Whip is water. The first ingredient in
Mayo is oil.

This is how Miracle Whip (even the "regular" full-fat Miracle Whip)
manages to be lower in calories and fat than any Mayo you might buy.

If you make egg salad, tuna salad, or some other similar mixture using
Miracle Whip, and you put the leftovers in the fridge, the next day
you'll notice that it has become watery. This is the water in the
salad dressing coming out. Egg & tuna salad made with Mayo don't have
this problem.

I like the flavour of Miracle Whip, but the only time I use it is for
tomato sandwiches. Anything else gets Hellman's mayo.
