Mayonnaise

In doing research online about this, it seems that store bought mayo, like Hellmans, is fine because the eggs used are pasturized. SO go ahead and eat.

However, you shouldn't make home-made mayo (who does?) and should also avoid any softcooked or raw eggs.

If its shop purchased then it will carry a guide "use by". Mayonnaise has vinegar which helps to preserve it. 2 to 3 weeks at a low temperature is normally fine but you do need to follow the labels as there are many different makes with different ingredients

yes, the substance can dissolve the dry skin, take it up, then release it when you rince out.

Once they are picked, sprouts are a TCS food. You need to make sure to keep them refrigerated until eaten after you have purchased them.

Food left out of the refrigerator is okay to eat for about 2 hours. If the temperature is under 80 degrees. The longer a food stays in the danger zone the more risk you take eating that food. Foods should either be kept hot or kept cold before eating to be really safe.

no mayo spoils faster

I think it's only mayonnaise that needs refrigerating, I keep the rest in a cupboard and it doesn't go off.

Any condiment that requires refrigeration usually says "Refrigerate after opening" on the label. I don't refrigerate olive oil (it goes cloudy), vinegar (it doesn't need it), soy sauce (it's fermented already), fish sauce (same thing). Everything else goes in the fridge.

Nothing will happen, though the mayonnaise might start to separate.

The main use of mayonnaise is for making sandwiches. You can put the mayonnaise on either or both slices of bread and then add your other ingredients.

Another common use for mayonnaise is for making salads and other cold recipes. While you can use it for lettuce salads, you might prefer either salad dressing style mayonnaise for that, or even an actual salad dressing. However, for other types of salads such as potato salad or chicken salad, you can use nearly any type of mayonnaise, including regular mayonnaise, light mayonnaise, and salad dressing style mayonnaise. Of course, you might want to adjust the recipe some depending on the type.

Every once in a while, a cake or other desert will call for mayonnaise as an ingredient.

Also, while not advised, people have been known to use it in place of shortening for frying.

Then there are the non-food uses. Mayonnaise is a common home remedy for hair conditions. Some claim it helps remove lice, though the jury is out on that. If you use that to help remove nits, then you'd likely still need something to kill the lice and/or the lice eggs.

Others will use it somewhat like a deep oil hair conditioner. The egg whites contain protein, the oil is good to add shine, and any emulsifiers help it to take in moisture.

Use orange mamalade and add about 1/8 of a teaspoon of powdered ginger to each tablespoonful (once mixed do the taste test to be sure that this is the correct amount. Some people like more ginger). Happy cooking, Marcy.

But, seriously, why substitute ginger marmalade for anything? If you truly dislike ginger, use any other marmalade.

If you can't find Ginger Marmalade and don't like oranges, you can add 1tsp per 1C Apricot preserves as well (I'm trying to approximate the "heat" of a good ginger marmalade -- the 1tsp may be too much or too little for you).

You can also finely mince 2-3Tbsp or fresh, peeled ginger per cup of apricot preserves (or orange marmalade) and heat over low heat until the perserves or marmalade melts, then let it rest over very low heat, below a simmer for 30 min in order to let the flavors blend.

Or, to keep it really simply but amazingly flavorful - I'm assuming you're cooking a savory dish here - just halve a chunk of fresh ginger vertically (no need to peel) and stir it in with other spices once the onions are almost cooked, along with a pinch of sugar. Let it cook with the onions for a while and discard it when the sauce or soup is nearly cooked and the ginger has done its job. Couldn't be easier. You could put in a whole chili, which will enhance the flavor of the ginger, and discard that when you feell your sauce has sufficient warmth or, even, heat.

Of course, if you're cooking a cake or dessert, and like the flavor of ginger, just use powdered ginger sparingly: next time you cook the recipe you might decide to use more, or less.

A note here; if you want ginger marmalade and your local stores don't stock it, it's very easy to buy online and keeps forever, as do all jams (preserves) which is why they were invented. You'll find yourself spreading it on toast before you know it.

i believe its daffodil peach mayo.

Not true mayonnaise. But check the ingredient statement.

no, they do not have teeth!

Not only are teeth a factor, their gastro intestinal system can't process many sold foods such as fried chicken. The stomach acts as a 'grinder' or mixer by contracting it's muscles and a baby's stomach hasn't built up the muscles to grind solid food yet. That's why babies drink milk, then go on to eat mush, then foods that practically disolve in their mouth first like Zwieback toast or those little star puffs from Gerber.

Mayonnaise is a mixture that is made up of many compounds.

No, traditional mayonnaise has eggs as an ingredient.

These brands of mayonnaise are vegan:

Dixie Diners Club - Low Fat Mayo

Nasoya - Nayonaise

Spectrum Organics - Light Canola Mayo

Bought readymade, the best-before-date will be on the container.

Made at home, the best-before-date of the mayo will be on the jar.

If the dip has been kept refrigerated, then those dates will apply.

Otherwise, I would be wary of any dip which was more than a few hours out of a fridge.

If you want to cover each egg in 1 cup of mayonaise, then 1 cup of mayonaise per egg. If you want to cover each egg in 2 cups of mayonaise, then 2 cups each, etc. However, these quantities of mayonaise are unappetizing.

Mayonnaise is a compound product that has oil in it. When you freeze it, the oil separates from the eggs and other ingredients, leaving you with a nasty mess. You are better off freezing the sandwich without any mayo, or lettuce, which also freezes poorly, and adding them after you've thawed/reheated your food.

However! If you use Miracle Whip, you can indeed freeze it.

No: technically mayonnaise is a sauce and it is thought to have originated in Spain, though it's very popular in French cooking as well as many other cuisines. The base recipe is oil emusified with egg yolks; if it's not based on those ingredients, it's not mayonnaise.

You don't. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of eggs and oil, heat it and it will split, not to mention the egg cooking. There are plenty of good mayonnaise recipes about and it is easy to make provided you adhere to a few simple rules, ie: have everything at room temperature before you start and go slow, particularly at the beginning. Store bought mayo and home made are poles apart, once you have found a recipe that suits you, you won't go back to that gloopy supermarket crap. I cook in New Zealand and we do a lovely roasted red capsicum mayo with crayfish(Rock lobster). Beautiful.

-- You can start a mayonnaise recipe my combining the egg yolks and lemon juice or vinegar (which ever you are using for the recipe) and whisking them over a double boiler or another form of gentle heat until it thickens slightly and shows a wisp of steam (it should be around 140 degrees at this point) This will cook the eggs enough to be safe to consume and you can still emulsify the yolks with oil. This is how I make hollandaise also.

Weight gain in regards to actual body fat is only gained if you consume more calories than you burn. If you eat more calories worth of mayonnaise than you can burn off in a day, you will gain weight. You can purchase lower calorie mayonnaise.

Most mayonnaise has a high saturated fat content. This does not mean it will cause you to become fat necessarily, but it can cause high cholesterol if you consume a lot on a regular basis.

No, but it may help it to heal, I've never tried mayo on a sunburn, I've heard of yogurt though along with aloe (probably your best bet) or just a good moisturizing lotion. But none of those will turn a sunburn into a tan, it just helps it to heal and may prevent you from peeling so in that sense it can promote a tan or help prolong a tan. Keep in mind if you're sunburning you're increasing your chances of getting cancer (melanoma) more so than just by tanning (can also lead to cancer and aging). Melanin in the skin is what creates the brown pigment of a tan, genetics determine how much of it is in each of us, certain foods/minerals can help promote melanin production like copper, I believe zinc? and protein rich foods that contain certain amino acids like L-tyrosene (sp). I believe milk is a good source of this. I've also heard of apple cider vinegar being used on a sunburn but I've never tried it so I can't really recommend it, keep in mind vinegar is a mild acid so I don't know how soothing it would be, but our skin is slightly acidic too naturally.

Yes, the egg in mayonnaise will go bad. Regular Mayo needs to be in the fridge so one can with reasonable certainty guess that even with the addition of lime juice it should be in the fridge.

However, the addition of the lime juice may affect the storage life. The lower pH may allow it to stay good for a little longer. Acidic foods are less likely to grow really harmful things (which is why people rarely get botulism from sauerkraut). Or conversely, the stray lime pulp and any bacteria/fungi picked up while squeezing the lime (like if you touch the inside of it or let the juice drip over your fingers) might help the mayonnaise to go bad sooner.
