Rant: My hollandaise sauce always splits when I'm busy

I was making brunch for friends and it fell apart twice. How do you keep yours smooth?

Ugh, that reminds me of the time I tried to make gravy for ten people and somehow ended up with wallpaper paste. The panic of guests arriving just makes everything in the kitchen go wrong (it's a universal law, I swear). We ended up ordering pizza and laughing about it.

Everyone freaks out about smooth sauce but a split hollandaise still tastes great. You can usually whisk in some hot water to bring it back quick. Not worth stressing over during a busy brunch.

Wouldn't cold water work better than hot?
