TIPS:-

• Consistency of hollandaise sauce should be a very lightly whisked thickened cream.
• If you use salted butter don't worry about adding salt and vice versa
• If your hollandaise sauce gets too thick just add water (1/2 tsp each add) be careful not to add too much in order to maintain the buttery and egg taste and for it not to be to watery
• Double boiler or put a heat proof bowl on the saucepan with simmering water is very helpful in helping to control the temperature. Make sure the simmering water doesn't touch the bowl.
• However, if you are using saucepan, stick to low heat at all times
• If too hot, eggs yolk will cook too much and the sauce will curdle (becoming scramble egg) . So remove from heat. 
• Keep hollandaise sauce warm: cover heat proof bowl with cling wrap OR sit the bowl into large saucepan wit 4cm of very hot water but not boiling.
