> I'm looking forward to trying a Hollandaise recipe next. It's much easier to make in a siphon than using the traditional technique over a water bath.

What? How does that work with a siphon? How are the eggs yolks cooking then? Or is using the siphon giving you the same texture without actually cooking the yolks?

They are cooked by the hot butter and you can also put the siphon into a hot water bath for a short amount of time.

To be fair, the texture is not exactly the same as traditional hollandaise. But it's much easier to get it right.
