No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because mayo suffers less when being pasteurized.
Though I suspect most people don't realize how dull jar mayo is (even the best) compared to home made.
It's really not the same thing. And the crappy brands are just white goo.
Helmans/Best and the other brand from Best are about it. Though someone mentioned a regional from the south east that's apparently really good.
And again, even those are dull and flat compared to home/fresh made. Takes me less than 10 minutes, including prep and cleanup, to make mayo.
How do you make it?
You need a blender, I always do it with a hand blender, but I've seen a regular blender work too.
In a receptacle you add
Blend it all together. It can happen that while blending the parts don't mix together. Take them out, clean everything and start over.
After mixing this, slowly add 250 ml of neutral oil (vegetable/canola/...) while still blending.
You can add more of anything to taste.
What do you typically use your mayo for? I'm curious because all the stuff you add to your mayo is stuff that I would normally have in whatever dish is using the mayo, so I'm wondering if it actually makes a difference to have it blended in the sauce versus separate.
On burgers or with fries, or on a sandwich, with a ham and cheese toast, as a basis for other sauces, not so much in cooked dishes. But I suppose if you can get the taste without so much oil you're better off doing what you're doing 😅
