How To Make Hollandaise Sauce

[jackssu]

howcast doesn't cook things properly. my husband and i just attempted a lemon meringue pie from one of their videos and i'm not even sure it'll be edible with the recipe they gave. i say boycott howcast!

should be using a double boiler. the sauce should never touch the pot directly.

This is awful! Try this instead: 4 yolks 250g butter unclarified, clarify it. 2 tbps white wine vinegar juice of half a lemon salt Clarify the butter. have a pan with a bowl that fits it. Have the pan one third filled. Do not let the water touch the bowl. whisk the yolks until thick and creamy. Add the butter in a thin stream, making sure not to split the mixture. Finish by adding the lemon juice and seasoning to taste. Perfect hollandaise.

@DaPs166 Put the white wine vinegar with the yolks before cooking by the way.

Aside from giving the improper technique, giving the wrong temperature for a fully cooked egg item could be dangerous. 165F, not 150F.

I was taught to clarify the butter and use a double boiler. this method just does not seem right at all.

Ok, no way is this correct! The egg yolks must be cooked first - what is this?

[xoxofunnyxoxo]

this is wrong way of making hollandaise.. cook the egg yolks over hot water rather tan cooking the whole sauce mix... fukin dumb

[twetumsy143]

so, there won't be a use for a double boiler to cook the sauce?

[misslucylulu1]

omg! This is NOT how you make hollandaise! i just wasted 1 minute and 38 seconds of my life watching this!

[JebbuMessiah]

This is the most cowboy method I have ever seen in my life. to make a hollandaise like this would not mean you are a french chef, it would mean you are a tucker fucker!! this is an insult to the culnanary world. shame on you.

[roguehawkfan]

THAT is sooo not the way to make hollandaise..not even close..bad video..

[RebeccaSWA]

This is not the correct way to make a Hollandaise at all! If this works for anyone and turns out even remotely close to a proper Hollandaise they are very lucky.

[RebeccaSWA]

Way #2. Hall-in-daze.

[woodlie]

yes finally my french fries will have a good friend

[wackedout991]

how is this pronounced i have heard 2 ways

way #1: hall-in-da-aus

way #2: hall-in-daze

anyone know the correct pronunciation?

[collegebrat122088]

that didnt look good at all. Hollandaise Sauce should be creamy and run over your food smoothly. that sauce was lumpy

[brandonr85]

Wow that is a ton of butter

[Jeriandis]

This sauce is made VERY improperly. You should cook the egg yolk in a metal bowl directly on the oven burner/over the flame (medium heat) while whisking vigorously, constantly (so as not to scramble the egg yolk). Do this while the butter is melting.

You know the egg is cooked when it is a yellow-white colour. Should almost be the colour of the final product.

Once done, take off of the heat and SLOWLY add the butter (starting off with just a few drops at a time, up to a slow drizzzle). Whisk

[Jeriandis]

vigorously. If you don't, the sauce will break and you'll have a layer of butter on top of egg yolk. If it breaks, add some lemon juice to help the emulsification process, otherwise, add the lemon juice once you've added about a quarter of the butter.

Once all of the butter is worked in, add a pinch of salt (if needed) and cayenne.

Voila! Properly made Hollandaise (and it won't be lumpy). :)

[Jeriandis]

NOTE: If you aren't comfortable cooking the eggs directly on the stove top, cook the eggs in the bowl over a saucepan of bowling water.

[Jeriandis]

SECOND NOTE (:P): You should only use clarified butter. You can use a chinoise to strain the sediment out of the butter once it is melted.
