I hate the way the bottle spits mayonnaise at you when you flip the lid open after it’s been out of the fridge for like two minutes. Besides that, the lid is a real bear to get open which exacerbates the “Ha! Gotcha!” effect. It led me to try Kewpie mayo, which I like a lot. That surprised me, since I was a real mayo snob for Best Foods.
What?
You don’t like Mayo Juice??
Even if you do not like mayo, if you have a tired, water marked wooden table, spread it with mayonnaise, let it sit all night, and wipe it off. Wow.
Wow, what?
I’ve done this, back in my careless youth. It works!
Not on me.
Yup. Fer reals. I bought a small jar of cheapest store brand for the job. Being a mayonnaise lover, I had to try it. It had sugar in it and was not something I would choose for my French fries. I’ll stick to home made or Duke’s for human consumption.
Well, color me intrigued! I have a ginormous jar of industrial strength mayo in the fridge & will give this a try soon. Thanks so much for the tip
Best of luck! Worst case, it is an easy cleanup.
Do you wipe it with any cleaner afterwards? Is there a residual smell from the mayo?
Interesting, thanks. Is there something special about mayo, or would an oil schmear overnight do something similar? (For all I know, it might make it worse…)
Glad to see I am not the only one both mystified and intrigued by this
I just wiped it off and buffed it. Then I sprayed and polished with Orange-Glo.
I have not tried oil. I would think the egg in mayonnaise would affect the outcome.
I think people are picturing applying the mayonnaise like cake icing.
No. You don’t!!
Yeah, likely so. The egg makes it an emulsion, so you’re applying both aqueous liquid and fat at the same time, not just fat as I’d originally had in my head.
This part of the convo reminds me that I promised to sand down and refinish my kitchen table once all the kids were out of the house (scratches and marker bleed-throughs from school projects and the like). Guess I need to “get a round tuit”.
I only apply mayonnaise like icing on things like turkey sandwiches!
There are always special cases.
I got one of those once — Duke’s. Then I realized I had no place to refrigerate it once I opened it, so I gave to someone with a beer fridge. Well, I guess it was then a mayo fridge …
