I am fully aware of how this sounds, but I only eat homemade mayo.

Except, maybe, for Dukes.

On some level, mayo is mayo is mayo: its all just oil emulsified with eggs and vinegar.

Make no mistake: its worth the hype.

What trade secrets are hiding in the ingredients list?

None, at first glance.

But lets take a closer look.

Luckily, theres no need for that here: whole eggs help stabilize the emulsion.

Nothing beats vegetable oil for pure neutralityaccept no substitutes.

White and cider vinegars:All white vinegar is too Hellmans; all cider is too funky.

Dukes gets its signature tang from a blend of both.

Salt, but no sugar:Dukes is the only mass-produced mayonnaise that doesnt add sugar.

I think this, more than any other thing, is why people love it so much.

Stick the head of your stick blender right in so it rests on the bottom of the container.

Keeping the blender totally still, turn on the power.
