Can you heat Mayonnaise?

I ate some chips for lunch with mayo on them and now I'm not sure what they'll taste like if I heat them.. :o:

Also can you get food poisoning from it?

Mayonnaise is made with raw egg yolks and olive oil. It will loose its texture (will become watery and transparent) and loose the taste when microwaved. Otherwise,It is safe to eat but do not wait too long before eating it because it will grow bacteria.

Another fact about mayonnaise is since it contains raw eggs, you can be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria and as far as I know, it may cause miscarriages on pregnant women.

You don't have to worry too much about mayonnaise that you buy in the supermarket. It's pretty much idiot proof. It's pasteurized, PH balanced, and preserved to death. It takes quite a bit to contaminate mayo these days.

You can cook mayo. There are a lot of recipes out there that use mayo as a component or even a glaze. It won't look the same when you heat it, but it will taste fine.

i have warm mayo in sandwiches all the time, i toast it in a panini toaster and it tastes normal, maybe even nicer. it just looks different because it separates a little bit.
