There's a fond memory I have about sending a few bottles of Duke's mayo
to a fellow RFCer :) I never knew about Dukes mayo until that request -
heck, I'm used to Hellmanns! . It's nice to oblige a fellow RFCer to
get an uncommon condiment they would not normally get due to
geographical location(s)!
I agree with <G> - Duke's mayo is definitely more tangy than Hellmanns!!
It is tasty ;)

I have a jar of Kirkland mayo in my fridge right now. It's excellent
mayonnaise and sells for quite a bit less than Hellmans. You need to
check your Costco again or ask the management. What is heavy duty
mayo?

The McCormick's (Mexican) mayos such as the chipotle version I have

What is heavy duty mayo?
> Janet US
Heavy Duty Mayo is what restaurants and deli's use for their
sandwiches, etc. It comes in a plastic bag inside
of a carton like this:
I has more egg yolks. The difference between regular mayo and heavy-
duty is its egg content. (Other manufacturers might have different
criteria/specifics as there is no standard for 'heavy-duty'.) This
makes the product heavier, richer, and is made mostly for applications
where mayo is a primary or significant secondary ingredient (as in
salad dressings and sauces) where the increased egg (and subsequent
lower relative water content) allows for a richer, less 'watery'
finish.

I'm a Kraft mayo girl myself, raised on the stuff, that's my excuse.
The one jar I bought of Duke's impressed me as being somewhat flat
tasting. But if you like it, go for it.

Does it say heavy duty mayo on the gallon jar? I've never noticed
that either. I'll have to be sure to look at the wording on the
gallon jar when I'm in Costco next week.

I really enjoy both the taste and the consistancy of Dukes. I have
been buying it for awhile and have gotten so I use it a lot more than
the other brands.

It doesn't say Heavy Duty mayo, though that's kind of funny.
It just says Heavy Mayonnaise.
I've mentioned it here before, years ago I remarked to a bartender
that they had such good mayo there and he said it's probably
heavy mayo. That was a new one on me.

I like that it is described as having a "dive-y/casual" atmosphere,
they have television, and they take reservations! Along with the big
pump jug of mayonnaise on the burger bar, sounds like a real classy
dump.

Heavy mayo and heavy duty mayo are the same thing. Different
companies, different labels.
I made heavy duty stick blender mayo this weekend. I used my regular
recipe but I used yolks only and added
an extra yolk. It was VERY thick. I was making some cole slaw
dressing and I wanted the
mayo to be really thick so it would make a 'stickier' dressing. It
turned out really well.

What you made is called *real* mayo. It's good for eating. The
Duke's crap is better used as a lube for the infamous Mexican Donkey
Show.

I never notice it being watery at all. Nor Kraft, for that matter.

I've seen the "heavy" designation but not "heavy duty" in Costco, Sams, and
Restaurant Depot. I bought it once at Sams in their house brand and it was
nasty sweet and have avoided all heavy mayo ever since. But maybe it's worth
a try at RD.
MartyB
Jean B.
thing is that the formulae in the squeeze bottle and the jar were
different. One was like the older version, and one was watery.
Then the more-normal one disappeared. I may have posted about it
somewhere at the time.

Nancy Young
We did talk about it. If I remember correctly, they moved the
operation out west where Hellmann's is sold as Best, and they weren't
really the same. That's when the mayo turned creamier and smoother,
for lack of a better description. Creamier and smoother might sound
like an improvement but it wasn't.
Today I was in Costco and found myself by the mayo. They had some
brand Ken's Extra Heavy Mayonnaise. It was a pretty large jar. I
did pick up a jar of Kirkland mayo just to give it a try. That
won't happen for a bit.
It's funny, when you go into an unfamiliar Costco, you can really
get lost. It's very disorienting.

Too damn sweet for me, anyway. I can't stand MW or any low fat mayo which is
always sweeter.

I've been using Kraft non-fat Mayo for years and it does contain sugar
and fructose but it is only slightly sweet to my taste and works quite
well as a component of salad dressings and potato salad.

Non Fat Mayo? Is that like sugar free candy? ;-)

James Silverton
It's actually quite a good reproduction of real commercial mayonnaise
but perhaps, since it appears that olive oil is now *in* again, I may be
able to convince myself that it is safe to make some of the real thing.
To tell the truth, I never used mayo much by itself; just as aioli
sometimes.

It's something like the abomination Land O Lakes is selling as "Fat Free
Half and Half."
Nunya Bidnits
That's a matter of taste I suppose. I used lowfat mayo twice in my blue
cheese dressing and it ruined both batches. There was no amount of vinegar
or lemon juice that could be added to offset it without screwing it up even
more. The first time I thought maybe I had just made a mistake assembling
the dressing. The second time it was obvious what the problem was.
Never again.

Since hubby had his heart procedure, he has banished as much fat as
possible from his diet... so that means buying fat free sour cream
(which was my first experience with food oxymorons, but far from the
last). What he can't do is give up butter completely (everyone has
their Waterloo), so he uses Land O' Lakes light butter sparingly.

With the layouts being different, you can do a lot of wandering
around when you find cleaning products where you're used to
finding coffee, whatever. I usually only go to one particular
Costco, but now there are 3 within 10 miles of my town and I
do occasionally find myself in one of the other two.
The newest one just opened and it's not far from a farm stand
where we like to get corn so what the heck. Something about
this new one just seems to turn you around so you don't feel
like you know which way is out. I thought it was me, then Ron
said Where the heck is checkout? I generally know where I am in
relation to the way out, for pete's sake. Heh.
I'll report back when I get to try the new mayo.
