I never thought about this before yesterday. Was sitting in a restuarant waiting for the food to arrive and was reading the label on the mayonnaise bottle (Hint, it wasn't Commanders Palace :D). Is said not to freeze. Now before that moment I had never thought about freezing mayonnaise but upon reading that admonition, I checked the bottles of mustard and ketchup on the table and nowhere on them was an anti-freeze warning. SO the question remains-why can't one freeze mayonnaise? Has anyone ever frozen a bottle and what where the results? My wife thought I was nutz, but then she got to thinking and can't come up with the answer either. So does anyone out there know why you aren't supposed to freeze mayonnaise? Is there a law or somethng????

I think it's because it's made of eggs, lemon juice, vinegar and mainly oil to make an emulsion . The ingredients will freeze, but the oil will not and cause the emulsion to separate and you end up with clabbered looking mess.
 
If you freeze mayonnaise, it will cause a rift in the space/time
continuum, and time will stand still until it defrosts.

Don't believe me? Try it. Look at the clock before you freeze it,
and then check the time when it is defrosted.

I had a five o'clock shadow when it finally thawed.

Just sayin'. Ya never know. :eek:

Thank you for the informative replies, and for providing me with another way to describe an exceedingly long time:

"...til the Hellman's freezes over.":D
 
About a week ago at work I was closing the doors on a trailer and noticed a pallet of 5 gallon pails of something called Heavy Duty Mayo.....wonder if that is something they use to seal leaky sinks etc in kitchens? :D
 
To carry this thread to the next step:

Do not freeze potato salad either! ;)

I think it has to do with the fact that in certain countries
it is being frozen and mixed with ammonia nitrate then
formed into a vest or pair of shoes.
When worn in temperatures above 95 degrees this causes
a chain reaction which will make the combination very
unstable and explode.
Ouch !!! Plastered with Mayo !!!
The Mayor of NYC has already begun to write
new laws regarding the selling of Mayo in quantities of
larger than one jar at a time. And even now Mayo must be
logged and signed for at all NY city supermarkets.
