The cool thing about Hollandaise from scratch is when you make it for your friends they all think you're like a world-class chef.

when you make Hollandaise you are a world-class chef!

[@mcchaw]

@@s0012823 I bartend at a steakhouse. Brought some eggs in one morning and told the kitchen mgr (23-25 yr old woman) to whip me up some hollandaise to put over my steak later. She looked at me like I was fucking crazy and had no idea what I was talking about. FF to the evening shift, I yelled back "Do you have my hollandaise sauce yet?" She went on about how she doesn't know how and isn't going to try. I told her "Come on every woman worth her salt knows how to make hollandaise!" This perked the ears up of one of the female cooks and she turned around and said "YOU know how to make hollandaise? Why the fuck aren't you in the kitchen?" Even after a year of that being my second job, I'm genuinely shocked at how narrow the scope is of restaurant chefs.

[@colteck6345]

REALLY !? like what ????

[@DrummerJacob]

@@colteck6345 Like dont overboil the water for poached eggs or itll explode your egg before it finishes cooking. Like when he shows you his cool trick of grabbing the egg yolk as it cracks to separate yolks from whites using nothing but the shell itself. He didnt even say anything, he just did it and it was cool to see that trick. Like when he tells you not to let the bowl make contact with the boiling water for the hollandaise or else itll become too hot. Like when he said if you dont whisk it enough as you add the butter, the eggs will cause it to split/separate. Like when he leaves his ham oils in the pan and toasts the English muffins in it for extra flavor and not to waste any. So many things, such a short video, just like the OP said, if you would only watch you could see them.

[@cementheed]

Watching Gordon Ramsay cook, is like watching Wayne Gretzky play hockey - he makes it look so simple and easy.

[@cochrngj]

They edit this to make it look easy. He has assistants gathering all the ingredients together and setting up. All he has to do is execute the cooking part. Once you've done that a few times, it really is easy, but coordinating all the parts/ingredients takes practice. What he failed to mention is that Hollandaise will break if you cook the eggs too fast. A double boiler isn't enough to keep the heat down. You have to lift the bowl away from the water occasionally.

[@ahmedkamran8107]

[@jonevans5084]

I’ve worked a few kitchens in my 51years of tenure in the food industry, but I have to concede that Chef Ramsey is “THE MAN” when it comes to culinary excellence. Beautiful Eggs Benedict, Chef…fucking Beautiful!

[@cochrngj]

It's important to not let the bowl touch the water when cooking the Hollandaise sauce. I like to start with a splash of white wine in the bowl first to make sure the surface isn't too hot that it over cooks the eggs. Likewise, if you microwave the butter, make sure it's not too hot when you start mixing it with the yolks. Ideally the butter should be clarified (like ghee). The chef who taught me said it helps the sauce hold longer. At home this isn't as important as when you are doing brunch service and trying to get the sauce through a whole brunch.

[@jdmartins61]

Who cares about you???

[@krunalthakar6055]

Every chef has its own method of preparation for the sauces.

[@frostreaper6077]

The best way IMO is to mix it slowly as you add the butter. Lime helps. Also put a warm cloth around the bottom of the glass bowl as you do it. You should also take the bubbles of the top of the butter when you slowly cook it.

[@InLovee]

The butter must be room temperature sawell mate??

[@Bravosmom1]

Thank you for your tips. Very helpful !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rbar3623]

Thank you chef Ramsey! I was absolutely dreaming of eggs Benedict when I woke up this morning. My first poached egg came out beautiful and my hollandaise sauce didn’t break for the first time ever!

Gordon ramsay is my favorite chef. Gordon's great escape shows how humble and respectful he is toward other cultures. He is a beast in hell's kitchen but he isnt ashamed to be reprimanded by international chefs in Great escape. Love d guy.

[@MrBrotkrumen]

my attempt failed pretty badly but that's how you learn. for anyone trying this for the first time: 1) rly watch the vinegar and lemon juice, just a little too much and it will all turn sour. i'm tempted to skip the vinegar altogether on my next attempt. 2) do not let the eggs on the water bath for too long or they will become scrambled eggs, even after you have a good creamy consistency. 3) it might also be a good idea to melt the butter way before, so its heat doesn't make the eggs scrambled either. 4) don't cook the ham too early, it cooled down surprisingly fast for me. 5) if you have trouble making poached eggs like i had, do yourself a favor and get an egg poacher and they will turn out perfect every time

[@absolutelynobody3837]

What poacher did you get?

[@MrBrotkrumen]

@@absolutelynobody3837 the one i use is called "KitchenCraft 4 Egg Poacher Pan"

[@lorenzodeagostini8941]

Lol your experience was the same as mine!! It was super sour and yet my girlfriend liked it 😂

[@AndreGasparConductor]

How much butter did you use?

[@mazal-bb]

Recently I've been making emersion blender hollandaise. For this technique, one needs hot melted butter to help coddle and emulsify the raw egg. However, for a traditional whisk over steam heat method (that i learned) is to dice up COLD butter and add a chunk at a time whisking into the hot egg 'sabayon.' The COLD butter helps keep egg temperature stable and less likely to scramble or separate. I'm surprised Gordon is using melted butter in his demonstration. Also a tiny drop of ice water kept at the ready, helps if you feel the sauce is getting overheated. DEFIANTLY TAKE OFF HEAT AS SOON AS YOU'VE INCORPORATED INGREDIENTS AND ARE HAPPY WITH SAUCE. That steam will kill your beautiful sauce in no time. Keeping bowl atop a still warm stovetop (near, but not on, turned-off elements) is enough to keep it warm without further cooking. Finally, using tarragon vinegar is more akin to a Béarnaise - I won't quibble with Big G in this demo.. but for the uninitiated, take into consideration balance and technique will be somewhat shifted.

It is such a good tutorial and makes all the treat fresh, warm tasty an beautiful. Seasoning of the sauce - at the end so yolk is smooth, non coagulated, nice vinigar with herbs, a bit of lemon juice it all makes it a perfect egg Benedict. I am not a super fan of Godon, but this is perfect. He is a good teacher. Well explained. So cool. Thank you!

I have an old recipe from a restaurant from the 70s. They Simmered the butter and scooped the bubble layer off the top as it simmered. Separated the yolk completely and placed it in a glass bowl with a small hot wet wrapped around the bottom of the bowl. I think they added a little lime and they made sure to pour the butter in slowly as they mixed it slowly. I think there is more to it but its written down in my kitchen some where.

[@dalgurgens2192]

If you want a simple version that doesnt involve the extra effort, you can melt 1/4 butter, whisk 2 egg yolks with lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a microwave safe bowl, whisk in the melted butter slowly until smooth, microwave for 10-15 second intervals, whisking everytime you check it - should thicken after 25 seconds or so. Comes out just as good and its done in under a minute.

Just made hollandaise exactly like this! It came out delicious was boiling eggs so I split an extra one, melted half a stick of butter and got to whisking. Maybe I got lucky but the sauce was done at the same time as the eggs (about 4 minutes). Like I said, maybe a fluke. My sauce was a bit thicker because I probably missed the part with the egg to butter ratio but still was extremely quick and easy. Mayo is next.
