If you want your cake to be tender and moist, add mayo.

Brush this condiment outside of chicken and fish so it won’t stick to the grill.
8 – Egg wash
Don’t have eggs? Use mayo instead. Brush it on the outside of your pie crust so it gets nice and golden brown. You can also use it in place of egg wash during the breading process. Just coat your chicken in a little mayonnaise before you dip it in breadcrumbs.

Shine your houseplants by rubbing the mayo on the leaves using a paper towel.
