LOL,
That said mayo is acidic enough to withstand the counter. Hellmans squeeze bottles don’t even require it after opening apparently.
Everyone agrees that open mayo is good for months in the fridge, yet it somehow spoils instantly at the same time
Bottled mayo comes pre-spoiled so it doesn’t change on your fridge.
Was hoping someone would say that so feel less guilty eating old mayo.
old mayo is an essential part of a balanced diet
There was a good eats episode on it. It’s shelf stable before you open it, once it’s open, you’re fighting oil rancidity. If it smells and tastes right for mayo, it’s probably fine.
That makes me concerned about how much of it is actually mayonnaise.
Home made mayo is shelf stable. PH should be down around three. It’s the grocery brands that try to smooth out the tang and increase the PH that makes it need refrigeration. It sounds insane that egg yolks and oil don’t go bad on the counter if you add lemon juice but that’s about the extent of it.
That’s not to say it doesn’t degrade much faster and honestly, mayo need to be cold or it just feels like sandwich grease :)
Mmmmm sandwich grease
Mayonnaise only goes bad from cross contamination with the dirty knife you use. Like if you get some tuna in the jar, that can go rotten and ruin your day. Probably why a squeeze bottle is safe on the counter.
From my past experience, Mayo can get sour. It’s not pleasant.
