To
be perfectly honest with you, your chronicler was wondering as much
himself.
Now, he didn't exactly think it was some gadget which, once attached to
the Mixmaster, would drop a bottle of salad oil on the floor for you.
But
he sure as hell never saw anything suggesting mayonnaise
oil
in any Mixmaster attachment he had ever seen - until very recently.
That
was when his friend Decodan provided him with the photograph you are
about
to witness. At first glance, it looks precisely as you probably think,
and you're probably wondering - ok, who's the genius who decided to
nail
the juicer to the bowl? But observe...and read on...
For
your observation, we have at left one Sunbeam Mixmaster, Model
M4F.
As we will remember from our reading on the previous pages, this was
one
of the very first series of Mixmasters which premiered in 1930.
(You
there in the back row, you got that one right, you get your gold star
for
the day!) Resting comfortably off the port, the juicer attachment
with the mayonnaise oil dropper set into the spout. It featured a
spout-fit
stopper into which the tube was inserted, and you controlled the oil
flow
accordingly, putting your salad oil into the juicer bowl no more than
half
a pint at a time. Say, if you were making your very own mayonnaise -
which,
by the way, was actually quite simple. And how does your chronicler
know
this, class? Easy - he acquired a copy of the 1933 edition of Kitchen
Tested Recipes By The Home Economists of the Famous Sunbeam Mixmaster...and
here it is!
Regulate
the oil flow by turning the tube from right to left until the desired
flow
is there. Use small mixing bowl. Beat egg yolks on high speed until
thick
and lemon coloured. Pour in half of oil (1 cup) and allow it to drop.
When
oil has dropped into the mixture, add sugar, salt, mustard, vinegar,
and
add the rest of the oil. When that oil has finished, beat two minutes
longer
on medium speed. If more piquant mayonnaise is desired, add an extra
half
teaspoon of salt, sugar, and mustard. From the time the eggs begin to
beat
until the final two minutes of mixing, the total time should be seven
minutes.
Note:
The above recipe was formulated for Model M4J-K. To adjust the five
speed
configurations to the subsequent ten- and twelve-speed models, high
speed
is 10 or 12; medium speed is 4-7; low speed is 1-3.
