Is there an opening to add oil in order to make mayonnaise?

There is no opening like most food processor has, you have to remove the cover but it is not hard at all.

i got this lil baby specifically for making mayonnaise and it is FABULOUS!!!!! As previously stated by John B Young, the top is designed for a perfect slow drizzle of oil for perfect emulsifying. Most recipes say whip your eggs and spices then slowly pour your oil into the top. the rate of addition of oil is slowed wonderfully so in about two minutes you have lovely mayonnaise. Excellent design.

The lid is solid, there's not a plunger to pull out like there is on larger food processors, but I mostly make pesto in mine, and just take the lid off to add extra oil when necessary. I don't know if you're supposed to process mayo for several minutes or not (never made it) but if so, keep in mind that this only chops when the button is being held down as far as I can tell, which is fine for everything I've used it for.

I have used this many times but I use this for chopping garlic, herbs, etc etc. I use a regular sized food processor that has an opening for the purpose of pouring liquids in it. This processor is mostly used for chopping small items CUZ it's easier to clean than the bigger ones. Hope this helps !!

To open it, you have to remove the lid, there is not a chute like on a lot of full size processors.

The short answer is: Yes! The cover has a trough for liquids with two holes which will allow the even distribution of the oil or other viscous fluid. I am also going to attempt to paste the Cuisinart web page address for the mini-prep. If you navigate to this page you can find the link to the manual for the processor which may be helpful to you in your decision process. http://www.cuisinart.com/products/food_processors/dlc-2a.html

Yes, I personally like to use a little oil/spray before cooking. Keeps the pan in new condition and food tastes better.

No, it's very simple. You just frequently add oil in a slot as indicated by the directions.

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.

I use peanut oil as it has a high smoke factor - the tiniest bit of oil is used with stir fry , so shouldn't be a problem

There is no added oil. The only ingredients are peanuts and salt. But the oil from the peanuts does rise to the top of the jar and you need to stir it before you use it.

NO! It needs no oil at all, just put the ,ixture into both sides, cook according to directions. Makes nice fluffy omelets and they slide right out, and you just have to take a damp paper towel and wipe it clean!!

Mine did not. Although the opening was big enough for me to squirt castor oil into it from my flip top bottle, which is what I used mine for.

You can if you want but I believe it would be unsanitary and unhealthy. It might be better to use a smaller amount and add oil and throw away the remainder.

I make amazing mayonnaise with avocado oil. The only healthy oil for mayonnaise making that doesn't adversely affect the flavor. Highly recommend it.

There is no inside container. You have to dump the oil from the entire container into something to strain or get rid of. There is a metal basket that you put the food into. We really like it since it is so small and you don't need to use much oil and can do small amounts of food!

Yes, but I would recommend applying vegetable oil to it first. Otherwise it's hard to close the top the first time.

Not really but depends how far the edge goes, if is the factory you don't. I already expose like a 1/2 inch in mine so i like to oil it after every use even thought i've it etched with vinegar and mustard previously.

You can open it manually but it has a very small handle on the lid and if your fingers are oily it will be difficult.

You should not have any problem. If you need to add a very little olive oil. But only if it's really dry.

Sorry I missed this message in a timely manner. Although I haven't made mayo with it...the non flavored avocado oil would be an excellent oil in which to make mayonnaise, much better than olive oil.
