re: Xanthan Gum and homemade mayo

i use xantham from time to time. From the times i've used it, it gave the sauce a kinda slimy texture if i added too much. Just try adding a little at a time. Try adding about a 1/4 of a tea spoon first. A little bit of that stuff goes a long way. Also try spreading it out on the emulsion, or the xanthan will clump up.
