It's possible that there could be some viable use case for canned mayo. However, for the life of me I can't think of a reason to not only microwave the mayo, but the entire container at once.

Maybe you want to make a smoothie.

[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 60 points 2 months ago

What a terrible day to know how to read.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago

I feel the need to inform you that "smoothie" doesn't usually mean anything smooth.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Except their brain, apparently

[-] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 months ago

Unlimited shelf life garlic mayo so you'll have something to put on the rat burger in post WW3 wasteland.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Calm down John Spartan.

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mayo is a lot more versatile than people think, makes a lot of sense if you think about it, but you can use mayo in place of eggs in a lot of recipes. Fried mayo is something you should probably never eat, but it can also be pretty great.

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Doesn't mayo usually have vinegar in it though?

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Usually, I think you can technically use lemon juice instead. Are we missing something important about it containing vinegar?

The original (mahonesa^1^) is just salt, olive oil² and egg. Anything else is an extra.

^1^ from Mahón, Spain.

² olive has a strong taste for this but you can use softer ones, like sunflower.

I got a tube stuck in it

[-] dxc@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Jokes on you, mayonnaise can't come at all.

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It would be great for big potato salads.

Also, you can heat up the can with a torch.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

That's ridiculous. Who has a torch lying around? Just set it on the stove

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You can also heat up the can on the stove. Don’t ‘cause gross but you could.

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I found it in a ~~glass can~~ jar in a store near me and I'm not going back. No more mayo stuck in the can.

[-] AscendantSquid@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

I've never heard the phrase 'glass can' before, only 'jar'; is it common where you are from?

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

No, I just forgot the word jar. Not a native english speaker.

[-] Sway_Chameleon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah that is weird, though it's common to putting things in jars and still refer to the process as canning. I guess jarring already has another, vastly different, meaning.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

That's what the oven/steamer is for, silly.

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

No bro, wtf.
Use the toaster like a normal human.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

pfft toasters... lifehack time:

this is why I like the plastic squeeze bottles, yeah, they're not a terribly efficient way of delivering whipped chicken embryo slurry, but they're perfect for carrying around underarm - like a mayo holster, your pit will keep it perfectly warm all day long. sprays right out whenever you want a gulp.

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

This is the real lifehack for sure, but I found that two arms could never hold enough WCES to get me through the day, so I've recently started storing a third bottle in my prison wallet.
I've also found it to be a more effective way to keep the 'naise warm, so I tend to alternate the bottle positions throughout the day for more equal warming.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

a true mayo pro

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

This made me curious, I'm going to see if our supplier has #10 cans of mayo tomorrow while I'm at work. The mayo we get is in plastic jugs, and we generally wouldn't need that much at once, I just want to know if it is something that is made.

[-] GentriFriedRice@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I don't think you'll find it. Mayonnaise has a mechanism of lipid oxidation catalysed by iron ions present in egg yolks. Most mass produced mayonnaise contains EDTA to chelate metal ions and slow down lipid peroxidation. Lipid oxidation is also known as rancidity.

You can test this yourself by leaving a metal utensil in some mayo for a couple hours. It should turn black from a redox reaction

[-] ReasonablePea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

This guy mayos

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Don't cans use a coating on the inside to prevent contact between the contained material and the metal of the can itself? Like tomato products are pretty acidic and would also react with metals they come in contact with but are a common canned good. Same with soda pop.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah all cans are plastic coated

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Interesting, I didn't know that. I guess my canned mayo dreams are dashed.

[-] theburninator@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Heck yeah, like a soda can so you can really chug it

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

along these lines, I call mayo 'whipped chicken babies' because it makes my family retch. but it's true.
