Problems with mayonnaise recipe (Model 5200) from Vitamix cookbook
I have made homemade mayonnaise (recipe below) using the recipe from the cookbook that came with the Vitamix 5200 I purchased 6 years ago. I have had success in the past with this recipe, but the last few attempts have been duds where the mix is too thin. I've tried the recommendations to slowly add more oil and that doesn't work. I've tried the recommendations to whisk the runny mayo into a tablespoon of warm water, not successful. I've tried to whisk it into a room temperature egg yolk, no dice. My ingredients are room temperature.
I'm looking for suggestions from people who have experience with mayonnaise making in the 5200.
Mayonnaise (yield: 1 cup)
3 large pasteurized eggs
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (I use 1 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup canola oil
Place eggs, lemon juice, mustards, and salt into the Vitamix container in the order listed and firmly secure lid.
Select Variable 1 (I start at level 1)
Start machine and slowly increase speed to Variable 5. Remove lid plug.
While machine is running, slowly drizzle half the oil in a thin, steady stream through the lid opening. Slowly increase to highest speed and drizzle remaining oil throug the lid plug opening. As mixture begins to thicken, the oil may be added at a faster rate *(my mix thickens at this point so I add the other half of the oil...then something goes wrong)*. Process should take no longer than 1 minute.
Stop machine and stir in any oil sitting on top.
Store mayonnaise refrigerated in a sealed container for 2-4 weeks.
