Mayonnaise Separated After Being Frozen

The same thing happened to me with a quart of hellmans. I went ahead and put some on my sandwich. It was ok & better than driving 25 miles to a store.

I would like to thank all of you for the advise.I did try adding an egg yolk and a few drops of hot water to no avail.I did like the conditioner idea...I just might do that.I am emailing Hellmans now to see what response I get from them.Thanks again.

My favorite use of mayonnaise is to put about a teaspoon on each pork chop or chicken piece, rub it on and then dip in breadcrumbs. Bake or cook on the George Forman grill, the mayo keeps it from drying out.

Also, I make salad dressing using Mayo, vinegar and sugar. About 1/4 cup vinegar, little more than 1/4 cup sugar, mix that then add about a cup of mayo. Shake it all together. Great salad dressing, coleslaw dressing too (can be thinned with milk.)

Your mayo would work with either recipe, just stir it together, a little bit of separation or lump won't hurt it at all.

I don't know where Chris got the idea that it was spoiled.
I agree with florida gal; email or call Hellmann's and see what they tell you.

Here is a page I found on about.com (doing a google search). Interesting. Doesn't say not to eat it, just it doesn't freeze well and some cooks have fixed the separation by blending in a blender. You could always use it on your hair for a great conditioner....:)

I don't think you can freeze mayo, accidentally or on purpose. I would get ahold of Hellmanns and ask.

Hi, I think the best thing to do is just throw it away. I understand you paid a furtune for it. But you could be paying a fortune in medical bills by eating something that was spoiled. Salmonella poisoning is nothing to mess with.

Since it is only separated and not frozen, try using it up in salads and things where the separation won't show. It can't hurt you!
