Full Proof Thickened Egg Yolks: Electric Power Drill Hack
I bought a cheap milk whisk the other day with the thought of using it to thicken egg yolks. It didn’t have enough oomph to get through the egg yolks.
So I pulled it apart and in a shed meets kitchen hack I put the whisk part into my Ryobi electric drill driver.
A few bursts on a low speed setting and the yolks thickened beautifully. I was making Jamie Oliver’s Egg Mayonnaise so I added the rest of the ingredients and mixed everything a few more times. Magic!
Hope this helps or at the very least makes you laugh,
PK

I am definitely going to be adding to this post with more details soon about the amazing people at https://www.facebook.com/galeforcefarm/ but I wanted to share with you some photos I just took of their organic free range eggs.
They taste as good as they look by the way :).
Please note this is not a paid post and I am doing it to spread the word about a great south-west Australian farm (Margaret River) doing right by their livestock :).
If you live in the Perth metro region, please ask your local shop to stock them.

Home-made Creamy Aioli
Last night we had my Baked Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese Balls again and I wanted to have something to dip them in. I did a quick Google and settled on this recipe.
The result was amazing and got ticks of approval from my wife who is something of a connoisseur when it comes to this particular sauce.
Notes:
- I found the original recipe a bit runny so I reduced the amount of water
- You will be whisking slowly for around 10 minutes in my experience
- You can make it taste different every time by mixing up the seasoning
- Contains raw egg
You will be:
- Whisking and whisking some more.
- Seasoning the sauce.
You will need:
- Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp water
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1 garlic clove (very finely diced)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- lemon juice to taste
- ground sea salt or table salt to taste
- ground black peppercorns to taste
- Equipment:
- a long sharp knife
- a chopping board
- a whisk
- a small metal mixing bowl
Whisking and whisking some more
- Pop the egg yolk into the metal mixing bowl.
- Add the:
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1 garlic clove (very finely diced)
- 1 tsp water
- A tiny amount of the oil.
- Start whisking slowly and don’t stop as you very very very slowly add the rest of the 1/2 cup olive oil.
- Keep whisking until you get a smooth creamy consistency.
Starting off:
A bit of effort but oh so worth it:
Seasoning the sauce
I just used my salt and pepper grinders and a splash of lemon juice until I got the taste I liked. Remember that you will get less of a garlic wallop when combining it with food vs testing it by itself so don’t panic. Unless you love a lot of garlic. In that case, add more next time.
Enjoy,
PK
