Frequently asked questions
- How long does the mayonnaise keep?
- About a week in an airtight container in the fridge. It contains no preservatives, so make a weekly batch.
- Why did my mayonnaise not thicken?
- Usually because the ingredients were too cold or liquid was added too quickly. You can rescue it by blending again with a pinch of xanthan.
