If not, you will a have very untastefull mix of oil and egg particles. Every now and then it happens to me too, so if it doesn't work from the first time, just start over (with eggs from a different batch - although I'm not 100% sure, I always suspect the freshness of the eggs if it doesn't work). You can make it by hand, with a blender but I have the best result using a electric hand blender with a whisk attachment and a long, rather narrow mixing bowl (came with the blender, see picture). Also important is the oil: don't use palm oil! It will work, but if you put your mayo one night in the fridge, the next day it will be hard as butter. I always use sunflower oil, or - if I want something special - olive oil. Put in the bowl: - one yolk - one spoon of lime juice (or vinegar, but why should you?) - one spoon of water - salt and pepper - optional but recommended: one spoon of mustard - or if you are Thai: forget about the mustard but use lot's of sugar! Now add a bit of oil and start mixing at the lowest speed. During the mixing proces, also move the mixer slowly up and down so that the oil on top also can react well with the egg. Always keep in mind that it a chemical process: the oil makes a reaction with the egg, so speed is not important, giving the ingredients time to react is. Ad a bit more oil, continue mixing, add more oil etc. Don't add too much oil at a time. Especially in the beginning it is important just to add a couple of drops, at the end (when you see it reacts well) you can add a bit more at a time. After a while, you will see that your sauce thickens and starts to become white. Continue adding oil and mixing till you reach the desired thickness or the egg is saturated with the oil (a film of oil appears on the mayo which will not disappear by moving the mixer up and down. If you want a very thick mayo add as much of oil as possible (I used to make mayo I could slice like a bread, that was really too thick). When ready, I just cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. This way I need only to clean the whisk attachment. Making your own mayo is easy and fast, and it will improve your status as 'white magician' if you show it to your neighbours And it taste so much better... You can easily keep it for one week, however in reality, in my household it will not last that long. It is said you can dramatically improve shelf life if you add some 'whey' and let it ferment for a while outside the fridge. I just want to say I made some yesterday and was very happy with the result, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 any crust recipes?I just see, I got it wrong ha ha.You asked for crust, not toppings.The one from notmyself is the original or traditional recipe.Lately I made one with egg, milk and oil.Basically you take the original recipe, add one egg, 1 tablespoon oil and replace water with milk, but a little bit less because you have already liquid from the egg and oil.The dough should not stick to the bowl after kneading.Gives a bit softer dough close to what you could call American pizza.

Michaelaway Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 A few days ago, as an experiment (and because they were on sale @ 990 baht @ Big C), I bought a turbo oven and today I gave it a try. Whole chicken and vegetables (total purchase price a bit < 200 baht) were roasted @ 175 degrees C. for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Chicken came out fairly crispy outside with moist and tender meat. Vegetables are quite good, with the potatoes crisping up & browning more than in our conventional oven. Don't know what I'll try next, but I'll call the first test a success... 8 out of 10 on the Aroymeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdaz Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 So far this week. Greek style pork chops, marinaded and cooked over charcoal. Followed the next day by a rather large pile of calamari fritti. Delicious. Rib chops were large and around 85 baht each. The kilo of fresh squid was 240 baht. Who says you can make good value European style meals ? A shame the bottle of Cloudy Bay wasn't similarly priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. S bought the same oven a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with it. My old clunky giant convection oven is soon to be in the trash. The turbo is much quicker and cooks more evenly. Chicken, ribs, burgers, whole fish, homemade French fries, pork belly, pork chops, etc, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Ok, so today was Part 2 of my turbo oven testing... pork belly. To sum everything up: I spent 190 baht at the market for a kilo of pork belly, 2 large potatoes and a wedge of fuk tong; popped it all in the turbo oven @ 175 degrees C. and about 90 minutes later... finished. Again, the new oven made a great roast- crispy on top, charred along the sides and moist & tender inside... dee-licious. The vegetables, though, were unreal- browned, crisped & tasty on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. I can count on 2 fingers, the number of times I've been able to roast potatoes this good in 11 years in Thailand. So... all-in--all, another great result and successful experiment with the turbo oven. Anybody can cook with this machine. The heat is so intense and moving around the food all the time- I figure that's the secret to why it works so well and so fast. PS/BTW- My favorite way to roast pork belly is to boil it, skin side up, for 5 minutes; let it cool, score the skin with a razor blade, then rub with coarse salt before roasting.
