Question about my hollandaise sauce breaking

It kept splitting every time for a month until I started using a double boiler set to 140 degrees instead of direct heat. Anyone have a different fix for this?

Tried fixing mine by whispering sweet nothings to the eggs. Honestly, your double boiler trick sounds way smarter than my usual method of just starting over.

Honestly thought the double boiler was overkill for years. Watching it actually save a split batch changed my whole view on it. Some kitchen tricks just work.

Whispering sweet nothings to the eggs" is the perfect way to put it. It's funny how we try these weird little personal fixes before just accepting the simple, right way to do something.
