 JK> Yes, blenders make great mayonaisse.  If I had to make a LOT of

I use a fair amount in the summer for various things. The only thing I'm
skeptical about now (and if the chickens are raised disease free, it's
not an issue) is the use of a raw egg.

Clean up takes almost as long as making it. Easiest way to clean up is
put some water & dish soap into the blender, then give it a whirl. Dump
out, rinse the jar (Steve holds it upside down with the sink sprayer
shooting into it to rinse.) and you're done.

As long as you have all the ingredients, go for it. In the summer, I
always make sure I've got an extra jar of mayo in the pantry. The
current in use one is about 1/4 full tho, so I doubt I'll buy another
before we start travelling.

Might check it out when the current Oster dies. One thing I've always
liked about the Oster is the mini blend jars; they're really good for
the small jobs. I use them to make my bread crumbs as I can't put too
much bread in a jar at a time & expect it to "crumb" evenly. I'd end up
with some big pieces, some extra fine so the mini blend and pulsing work
well.
