perfect eggs benedict

How well does hollandaise sauce keep? When I wake up I can't be fucked to go through the effort of making any but if it keeps well I would probably make a batch the night before and toss it in the fridge.

Not well sugar (lemon juice), water, proteins - even with the emulsifier, salt, and butter it in it'll only last for about week (longer/shorter, depending on how dry your fridge/area is).

Correctly made and evenly blended as the recipe calls it should freeze effectively and keep for about a month (like a solid block of butter would), although I haven't tried nor tested this.

lul'd
Food is always garbage around Tahoe. They understand that they can put in minimal effort and use crappy ingredients and people, even the wealthy, will just swallow it because fuck if they're gonna drive to Truckee or Reno. I just buy groceries and cook for myself and m friends every time I go there.

Oh, I misunderstood your question. Yes, the sauce refrigerates nicely, and when re-heated is mostly fine. It's not as good texturewise, but the cayenne should have had time to rest, giving it a slightly better taste.

Whisk hard, keep the double-boiler temperature low enough that it only feels warm under your hand - and is touchable.

>keeping hollandaise for a fucking week.

Hollandaise lasts 1 day, unless you're doing a vac pack recipie

>fucking Hollandaise refrigerates well

Holy shit I'm crying

Now that I'm less drunk, here's a fixed version that doesn't have gibberish in it.

Try fake-me-out hollandaise. You can read about it here: https://warosu.org/ck/thread/6177637
>If you don't know how to separate eggs, you crack it, peel one half off while holding the egg over a bowl, then flip the yolk into the other half.
To separate eggs, I crack them into a bowl and carefully remove the yolks with my fingers into a second bowl. As we are meant to start with clean hands to begin with, it's just an easier way to do it, IMO.

Try the fake-me-out version. Takes all of five minutes to cobble together and with considerably less effort than normal hollandaise. Furthermore, it's near impossible to screw it up.

Use more salt and cook more of the water out - the fridge also has a dehydrating effect.

You may need to add water if you live in a particularly dry area.

How are you people keeping hollandaise for more than the time it stays warm? Am I being trolled? It turns into a solid block in the fridge, seeing how it's mostly butter, and the sauce will then break when melted.

It's either a troll or a ''''home cook''''
