</div>As a regular maker of a rather fine hollandaise, I can advise that if<br>
your hollandaise is hot enough to melt your face, then your yolks have<br>
definitely curdled and the emulsion separated. To avoid this, you<br>
should take care to keep the temperature below 82 degrees Celsius<br>
while preparing the sauce. Many would say that you should use a bain<br>
marie for this, but I prefer simply to melt the butter beforehand, and<br>
drip it into the yolks while it is still warm.<br>
