Open Edition
When I used to work as a short-order cook, we used large buckets like this to make in-house mayonnaise. I'd crack 60 or so eggs into the bucket, then get out a electric mixer that went up to my thigh. I'd get a 20 litre oil container positioned above the bucket and adjust the drip rate so that it was a slow, steady drip at first, you know, to emulsify the mixture.
You can increase the drip rate once it is clearly emulsifying, just so you know if you thought you might like to make some mayonnaise at home. I highly recommend it – store bought mayonnaise has a very different taste! This particular bucket I bought from a brewery supply store in Bendigo. Not sure why as I don’t brew beer. Possibly to cart around some gravel.
I had left it out near the front door and noticed how striking the light hitting it was (possibly quite late in the afternoon on a daylight savings day in Victoria)
