When I make my mayo, i use my stick blender and it works great--you onkly need two hands. 
Put everything in in the order listed--eggs, seasonings, lemon juice/vinegar, and oil. then I let it sit till it stops moving. Then I put in the stick blender and let it settle down again. (at this this point, I usually wit a minute or two)
When its time to blend, i pulse with very short pulses, and then increase the length and duration of the pulses, until everything is incorporated. i think I have only had one bad batch, and it wasn't really that bad.

Using the recipe in the link, which is from Nourishing Traditions, I got just over 3/4 cup, but did "lose" some as I held the lid off the blender to drizzle in oil. I used extra light olive oil and don't find the taste overwhelming. Does it taste like Helmann's? Nope, but that's okay by me. I used 1/4 cup in some homemade bleu cheese dressing. I will dream about tomorrow's lunch all night!

Just put "stick blender" in your google search and a picture will appear in the list.

Hi ga goat! Welcome to SS!
A stick blender is a waterproof "stick" with a mixer/blender on the end of it. It is long and narrow and can even be placed into a tall glass of stuff to mix.
Does that make sense?
I use my regular blender for mayo and it works fine.
(You can find stick blenders pretty cheaply too. I got mine at a grocery store for under 10 bucks and it lived a mighty long time.)

The best thing about them is how freakin easy to clean the are. Most of the time all you have to do is just submerge them in hot soapy water and let em rip. Then just rinse them off.

I use the regular blender for my mayo. However its got the little pop out top on the lid which makes it real nice for adding the oil. I was able to get it to work in the stand mixer with the whipping head, but it was a horrible mess.

That's how I do mine too. It splorts out a little when I take the top out though.Rebecka said:
