It seems like it’d be useful to have a jar of béarnaise or hollandaise, but I have to make those. Can’t buy good béarnaise or hollandaise. Good mayo is easy to get tho. WTF?

    Same, not a fan.

    What is annoying is I am working on a dipping sauce and it needs thickening and toning the flavor down, mayo is the right answer but I don’t want to.

      In the rare cases where mayo is the correct answer… it’s not that difficult to just whip up a small amount and use it. No need to have a big jar of it going rancid in your fridge.

      I don’t know your sauce, but maltose is great at thickening

        What do you mean by substituting mai ploy? I’m guessing you mean Mae Ploy, which is a brand and not a specific product. Mostly known for making curry pastes.

          Specifically the sweet chili paste they make, yeah. I didn’t know there were others.

            Ah, interesting.

            Back when I lived in Japan, that was the spiciest thing I could find in your average grocery store, so I would add it to all kinds of things.

        What? Pasteurized mayo lasts a really long time, even after opening. I’ve never had a jar go bad.

        Unless you’re dipping a spatula back into it after stirring some food.
