[Shane R]

I'm Shane and I have been the best cook in the house, whatever house it was, since I was about 15. That's not to say I was a great cook in those early days, just more competent than anyone else in the house. Over the years I have added skills, though I still can't get hollandaise right.

I particularly enjoy smoking and grilling and was a butcher off and on. I dabble in wine making and used to make beer. I live in SE Ohio.

Hi Shane and welcome from North Carolina!

Don't feel too badly. I still can't make a Hollandaise sauce to save my life! Heck I couldn't cool rice until about 20 years ago. As in I could screw up boil in bag and minute rice, I was so bad. Then I got a wild hair and wanted some jasmine rice so I actually read the directions and now I can cook any of the long cooking varieties just fine. I still screw up minute and boil in bag though.

I learned to make Hollandaise over direct heat while working in a hotel kitchen. It was only made when ordered so no time to play around, get'er done. I haven't done it in years so probably couldn't pull it off now.

Hello from Minnesota!

Have to say Hollandaise is not in my repertoire. Then again, I'd have to look up how to make gravy.

You remind me of a dear, dear friend who can't make gravy to save his life. I should know, I've tried to teach him at least 5 different times...lol
