Abstract
A "hollandaise" sauce is a dispersion of microscopic solids (formed through the
heating of compounds from egg yolks) and of oil droplets in an aqueous solution. When the
sauce is heated too much, water evaporates, and phase separation can occur, perhaps because the quantity of dispersing water becomes insufficient. Adding water to a failed sauce ultimately brings the system back to a state of dispersion.

Keywords
