    I just have a little hand blender and made this recipe with NO difficulty. I didn't have any dry mustard, so I added a little prepared mustard at the end. Yummy!

    The dry mustard is the key. I used two egg yolks, my immersion blender and an olive/grapeseed/canola oil mix. Good stuff.

    Wonderful! I won't ever buy mayo at the store again. Pour the oil in very slowly. Should take about 1 full minute to pour the cup of oil.

    Made using the whole egg and a food processor.

    Couldn't get it to work. Im really disappointed too. Im a huge alton brown fan, and watched the episode to the nth times. It turned out to be soup. Used almost identical equipment and did not subsitute any ingredients. Making mayonnaise is harder than it looks like in the recipe and the tv show episode. This one failed miserably.

    Fantastic. Give it and try and you'll never want to buy in the store again. I had no problems, followed as written. Will def make again and add flavors to this basic recipe depending on what I will be using it for.

    Mayonnaise is a tough one to master, and this recipe works very well. I thought the vinegar was a little too strong, and the overall flavor just a little bland. Next time I'll add more lemon juice, less vinegar, and twice the amount of sugar.

    Made mine with pure olive oil and some garlic, tripled the recipe. My arms are achy now. Oh and I used seasoned rice wine vinegar because I didn't have any white wine vinegar and didn't want to use red wine or balsamic vinegar.

    I have made this several times and have always had great success as long as I don't add the oil too quickly.

    I know there is a food processor method but, that usually makes more than I need. as I was whisking my mayo today by hand I started think I could do this with a hand mixer. I will certainly try it next time. On a related note, I have tried an immersion blender as well but mine needs more liquid before the yolk gets to the level of the blades.
