Animal Fat Mayo
Keep the blender running on medium speed, and add the duck fat VERY slowly – like at a drip speed. It should take about 4 minutes to add all of the duck fat.
After all of the duck fat is added, blend a little longer (about 30 seconds – 1 minute) until the mixture reaches the consistency of mayo.
Gobble up and enjoy. Add it to your steaks, make my Cobb ‘Salad’ with Duck Fat Ranch Dressing, or pair it with whatever!

While I was reorganizing my freezer the other day so my wife could easily pull out the frozen dumplings without having to touch alligator legs, goose feet, or any number of other experiments going on in there at the moment, I came across a stash of rendered animal fats—beef, duck, and lamb, to be precise.
I'm the kind of cook who doesn't like throwing anything away, and sure, duck, beef, and lamb fats have their uses (think confit, burgers, or fried potatoes). But seriously—even I can't think of a way to consume a pint of each, and my freezer was getting awfully full.
Kraft Mayo With Avocado Oil Reduced Fat Mayonnaise, 30 Oz Jar
Just as I was about to pack it in and tip them into the trash, I had one of those moments where jumbled images come swimming into your brain and suddenly crystallize into something so perfectly obvious that you start to say to yourself, why didn't
Afraid that the image might soon disappear, I grabbed a pad and paper like Ethan Hawke in Explorers and quickly sketched it out. Here's what was in my head:
I thought to myself: If I can make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and oil, why can't I make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and rendered animal fat?
How To Make Vegan Mayonnaise • In Seconds!!
In its loosest definition, mayonnaise is a flavored emulsion of minute particles of fat suspended in water. The tiny globules of suspended fat have a very difficult time flowing around once they are separated by the thin film of water, which is what gives mayonnaise its viscosity. Similarly, small bits of fat will refract light to a much greater degree as it passes through, giving mayonnaise its opaque, white appearance. (Think of it like a block of glass. When it's whole, light passes through easily. But break it up into tiny bits, and it becomes opaque.)
Now normally, when you mix fat molecules with water, no matter how thoroughly you combine them, like MIT nerds visiting an all-girls college mixer, they eventually separate themselves and regroup. Because of their shape and electrical charges, fat molecules are mutually attracted to each other, while simultaneously being repelled by water.
This is where egg yolks come in. Egg yolks—which are complex fat and water emulsions in themselves—contain plenty of emulsifiers, the most important of which is
Duck Fat Is The Simple Swap That Will Level Up Your Homemade Mayo
, a phospholipid found in both the low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) abundant in eggs. Emulsifiers are long molecules that have a hydrophilic (water-loving, fat-hating) head, and a hydrophobic (water-hating, fat-loving) tail.
When egg yolks, water, and oil are whisked together, the fat-loving heads of the lecithin molecules bury themselves in the minute droplets of fat, exposing only their tails. These tails repulse each other, preventing the fat droplets from coalescing, and suddenly making the water seem much more attractive to them. A bit like adding a shot of booze to that nerd fest to mix things up a little.
To make a traditional mayonnaise, egg yolks, water, salt, and a few flavorings—usually Dijon mustard and lemon juice or vinegar—are whisked together vigorously while simultaneously slowly drizzling oil into the mixture (a food processor makes this process nearly foolproof). As the oil hits the bowl, the rapid action of the whisk quickly breaks it up into tiny droplets, which are kept suspended with the help of the emulsifiers in the egg yolk.
Is Mayonnaise Really Bad For You? Debunking The Myths
As the sauce gets thicker and thicker, its viscosity makes it easier to break the oil into minute droplets, and as a result, oil can be added more rapidly. The final result is the rich, creamy, mild-flavored condiment we all know so well.
For my first attempt, I simply melted some beef fat in the microwave (because of it's high saturated fat content, beef fat is a waxy solid at room temperature), keeping the temperature as low as possible, so as not to cook the egg yolk. I made a mayonnaise exactly as I would have done with vegetable oil. Almost immediately, the mayonnaise broke (the fat and water separated), its smooth, glossy sheen transforming into the dull matte texture of shortening right before my eyes.
OK, not a big deal, I thought. Just because I haven't broken a mayonnaise in years, doesn't mean it can't happen, right? I tried again, the exact same way, and once again, my emulsion broke. I don't take failed experiments lightly, and this time I was angry enough that my wife had to ask me to stop yelling at the suet.
Crispy Chicken Sandwich With Slaw & Spicy Mayo
Still mumbling, damn you, beef fat, under my breath, I hit the books looking for an answer as to why my emulsion wasn't holding. McGee? Nothing. Corriher? Nothing. Wolke? Nothing. Not a single mention of animal fat emulsions in any of my go-to references.
I knew that the main difference between animal fats and vegetable fats is that animal fats contain a much higher proportion of saturated fatty acids. Fatty acids are essentially a long chain of carbon molecules. In saturated fats, each of these carbon molecules has two hydrogen molecules bonded to it. These hydrogen molecules act kind of like a support system, keeping the fatty acids long and straight. On the other hand, unsaturated fats (a fatty acid that contains one or more carbon molecule missing a one of its two hydrogen partners), have a bent, kinked shape. Oddly enough, with fatty acids, threesomes are actually less kinky than pairs. The chart at the right indicates percentage of saturated fatty acids to overall fatty acids in common fats, with butter being the most highly saturated at 62%, and olive oil with a mere 13%.
The shape of saturated fat molecules must have something to do with my mayo's problems—after all, asides from minute amounts of flavorful molecules, saturation level is essentially the only difference between vegetable fats and animal fats—but what exactly was going on?
Urban Platter Premium Mayo, 300g / 10.6oz [dairy Free Mayonnaise, No Palm Oil, No Trans Fat]
I emailed my friend Guy Crosby, an associate professor at Harvard and Framingham Universities and science editor at Cook's Illustrated for some answers. My hunch was right: shape is everything. Here's what he had to say.
Saturated fats (triglycerides) contain very linear fatty acids that can pack together and form crystals, sort of like a bunch of pencils in a box. Unsaturated fatty acids are bent like a V-shape, so they pack very poorly and do not tend to crystallize until much lower temperatures. The tendency of saturated fats to crystallize means they will
