Whether you like to make your own or prefer to buy it in a tub, mayonnaise is pretty much a staple in every fridge. But this unsung kitchen hero is good for so much more than just toasted chicken mayo sandwiches and potato salad. In fact, there are\u00a0many non-traditional ways to use and enjoy this delicious condiment. Here are just 5 clever ways you can use Mayonnaise in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

1. Amp up your baking<\/h3>\n

You wouldn’t think baking and mayo go together but you can use mayonnaise to add creaminess to your baking<\/a> without overpowering the other ingredients. Mayo can also be used in icing drizzle or creamy icing for cakes and, if you\u2019re hoping to bake egg-free treats, you can use mayo as an egg replacement by substituting three tablespoons of mayo for each egg called for in a recipe. Be sure to use\u00a0mayo that is relatively neutral in flavour to avoid changing the taste of your dish.<\/p>\n

2. Use it on the braai<\/h3>\n

Stop meat from getting stuck to the braai grid by spreading an even layer of mayo around your protein of choice. No more messy grid and forlorn-looking meat, with this hack, you\u2019re good to grill! Mayo is also great for making braai broodtjies; spread a little bit of mayo instead of butter on the outside of the bread before grilling and you’ll get a lovely crispy crust on your toasted braai sandwich.<\/p>\n

3. Marinades made simple<\/h3>\n

Mayo contains both fat and acidity, making it perfect to use in a marinade. To make a super simple marinade add your favourite herbs and spices, along with some garlic, to mayo and leave your protein to marinate for a few minutes in the mix.<\/p>\n

4. Ditch the butter<\/h3>\n

Butter is so yesterday. Instead of spreading butter or margarine on your sandwiches, add an extra layer of creaminess and flavour with your favourite mayo.<\/p>\n

5. A base for dips with your chips<\/h3>\n

Forgot the chip dip? If you’re in a pinch you can use mayonnaise to make your own dip. Just add your favourite herbs and spices<\/a> to enhance the flavour of the dip without being overpowering.<\/p>\n
