The Mayonnaise Machine is the first artisan machine on most farms, and the natural partner to a Coop. An egg goes in and comes out a few hours later as a jar of Mayonnaise worth several times more. Duck, Void and Dinosaur Eggs each make their own kind, and Dinosaur Mayonnaise is the most valuable of them all. The recipe comes at the very start of the Farming skill, so a single machine can be working beside the first coop within days. It also supplies the Void Mayonnaise that opens the way to the Witch's Hut.
The in-game description reads: Turns eggs into mayonnaise.
Recipe
Reaching Farming level 2 teaches the recipe. The machine takes Wood, Stone, one Copper Bar and one Earth Crystal. Smelting Copper Ore with Coal in a Furnace gives the bar.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
Holding an egg and using it on the machine starts the job. The Mayonnaise is ready about three hours later, so one machine can turn several eggs into jars in a single day. A full coop lays more eggs than that, which is why most farms soon build a few machines.
The egg decides the result. A normal white or brown chicken egg makes plain Mayonnaise. A Large Egg from a happy, well-loved chicken makes gold-quality Mayonnaise, which sells for noticeably more. A Golden Egg makes three gold-quality jars at once. An Ostrich Egg makes ten jars, and they keep the egg's own quality. Ostrich Eggs are the only way to get silver or iridium Mayonnaise.
The special eggs make special jars. A Duck Egg becomes Duck Mayonnaise, which is worth about twice as much as the plain kind. A Void Egg becomes Void Mayonnaise. A Dinosaur Egg becomes Dinosaur Mayonnaise, the most valuable jar the machine makes.
Chickens are the steady supply. Marnie's Ranch sells them once a Coop stands on the farm, and a fed chicken lays every day. Ducks need a Big Coop and lay every couple of days. Void Chickens hatch from Void Eggs, which Krobus sells in the Sewers. Dinosaurs hatch from rare Dinosaur Eggs and lay roughly once a week.
Notes
Void Mayonnaise has a special job. During the Wizard's "Goblin Problem" quest, a goblin Henchman blocks the path to the Witch's Hut. Handing him a jar of Void Mayonnaise makes him step aside. Fishing in the swamp water near the hut while he stands guard can also pull up a jar.
Plain Mayonnaise has its own uses. Cooking Mayonnaise with Red Cabbage and Vinegar makes Coleslaw. Cooking it with Tuna, a Tortilla and Red Cabbage makes a Fish Taco. A few Fish Pond residents also ask for a jar when the pond is ready to grow. Most villagers like Mayonnaise as a gift.
The Artisan profession raises the sale price of every jar by two fifths. A coop of happy chickens laying Large Eggs every day, paired with two or three machines, makes a reliable early income.
