NFT: Mayonnaise

Bill in UT : 5/28/2022 3:25 pm
A lifelong Hellman's/Best Foods guy, here. Today I found and bought a jar of Duke's. Sometime in the near future I'm gonna find out if all you Dukophiles are right or not.

More bite is a good way to describe it. I do like both, grew up with Hellmans, but like Dukes just a little bit more.

I now insist on Dukes; it has just a little more "bite" (sour?) than what used to be our standby Hellmans.

To my taste it is not "sweeter".




I really dont notice much FLAVOR difference to be quite honest. But texture-wise, it is much better, less runny.

For instance I use wasabi sauce on my lumch wraps and I put sweet pr cherry peppers which have vinegar and with regular mayo the wrap turns into a disaster, but Dukes, it only drips a bit.

I will go ahead and admit that I like Miracle whip occasionally. I like it with bologna, american l& t and onion on whole wheat....it adds a sweetness that I kinda dig.

Now, I havent had it in years, and I have never purchased a jar of it for myself. I always used it when at my aunts. Maybe regular exposure would make it gross for me.

Good thing you corrected....I had no idea what you were talking about. 😏
Most of my life I was always a Hellman’s person.  
bigblue1124 : 5/28/2022 6:27 pm : link
But when I tried Dukes for the first time, I really liked it and have been using at home ever since. As said above no sugar added and just has better flavor IMO.
At work we use three different kinds depending on volume. House made, Hellman’s and Just Mayo which is a vegan mayo and honestly damn good.
If you like Dukes

Give Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise a try. Personally, I started with Hellman’s, went to this and never looked back

...You will probably find it in the international or Latin American section of your grocery store.

It's really good, it has lime juice in it, but it's not sweet. It's baller on french fries, LOL.

Would try Duke’s solely because of lono’s endorsement.

As to Miracle Whip let’s just say I’ll take a pass on it moving forward. One try was enough.

For the record, I've had both Hellmann's and Duke's (and Ken's Extra Heavy Mayonnaise) and honestly can't tell the difference. Of course, 40 years of smoking may have destroyed my taste buds, so maybe I'm not the best judge of condiments.
Really not even a fair fight...

I'm a Duke's convert. I like it more, but I still like Hellman's. There is a new kid on the block that I really like 'Mike's Amazing Mayo'. Like others have posted above, Duke's is a little more tangy than Hellman's, but it doesn't even come close to the Miracle Whip sweet/tangy garbage. It's very similar to Hellman's. Mike's Amazing is really thick, and comparable in flavor to both.

I guess using the word 'garbage' really isn't fair, but Miracle Whip isn't a mayo, I believe it's sold as a salad dressing. I think of it as a dressing for coleslaw, and as a sandwich topping, Cole slaw is pretty good, so there is that.

you do usually add sugar to cole slaw, so I can see that. I'd still rather add sugar to the mayo :)

I didn't know I was on the clock, lol. I gave a little taste out of the jar yesterday. The Duke's was a little tangier, thicker and seemed to give more of a mouth coat. Just looked at the labels- Duke's is yolks only, Hellman's is yolks and whole eggs, so you'd expect Duke's to be thicker. I'm gonna make some mayo today- 1 whole egg plus one yolk and see how it goes :) Gotta decide what to try it out on.

I do a half cup of sugar, a half cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp salt, 2 cups of mayo, and 1 med head of shredded cabbage, and one carrot. Make it at least 1 day before.

I'm guessing a medium cabbage would be about 2 pounds? That's a lot of sugar, vinegar and mayo. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure the wife is going to like it. I can always add more cabbage :)

Ta daa. I'm not a mayo expert and may not have the greatest palate, but....
I tried the mayo on a plain piece of wheat bread. I thought the Hellman's and Duke's were very similar, enough so that I'd probably just go with the best price. Surprisingly, I thought the homemade was just about as good. I'm not sure if it's cheaper. Maybe, it's just canola and egg. And no preservatives, which I always appreciate. I don't know how long it actually will store in the fridge. We'll see- I never go by the shelf life they tell you. If anyone wants to give it a try, here's what I did:

Food Processor Homemade Mayonnaise

Ingredients
1 egg at room temperature*
1 ½ tablespoons vinegar or
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup oil, not flavorful

Directions
Add the egg and mustard to a food processor
Process the ingredients a couple seconds, then with the motor running, add the oil in a slow stream.
Run until thick and glossy, a few minutes.
Add salt and vinegar. Pulse a few times. Refrigerate.

Sorry, sloppy job of altering original recipe. I had recipes that said room temp eggs and also some that made no mention of temp. I made mine with egg right from the fridge, and it was fine. The "or" was lemon juice.

It's already hot here, so I didn't want to have mayo shipped by Amazon. I googled it for local stores and found it in Fry's (Smith's) and also Walmart. Try your local area.
