This was wonderful and will make again! I followed the ingredients exactly but did the directions for blender bernaise #74236. It came out perfect and the blender made it super easy and quick. Perfect consistency. I did add a couple drops of lemon juice. It made about 2 cups of sauce. YUMMY!!!!

I agree this was the best Bernaise Sauce I've tasted as well. There are a few simpler varieties around but this one is well worth the extra effort. I had on some scotch fillet steak and it was simply superb. The only thing I changed was using a sweet white wine instead of dry, but only because that's all I had on hand, and a dry white would probably be the best choice.

Really really good! I didnt have tarragon vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar. I chose to add the "optional" lemon juice and it came out awesome over a nice filet mignon!

This was wonderful. Fairly easy and simple. Anyone should be able to whip this up. I got about 2 cups of sauce. Will be making this again for sure!! Thank you

I have made this recipe several times, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow the directions exactly. If you follow the directions to a T, then it will be the most luscious sauce you have ever tasted in your life.

This was the worse Bernaise I have ever had.. It was chunky and greasy.... I am so sad I wasted my time, money, and energy on this.... Thankfully I wasn't serving guests... We would have had to go out to eat....

Very nice flavor and a great accent to a grilled prime rib. But as another reviewer noted the consistency is not very appealing (greasy and chunky is an apt description). You definitely need to use butter (not spread) and follow the sequence carefully. Even then, it's easy to lose the emulsification and end up with an unappetizing oily mess.
