or some thing thin of some sort.

Reheating Hollandaise
Exert from Chef Talk Blog:
Over the weekend I did a search on google about “how to reheat hollandaise” and up popped my post first thing. So I had some hollandaise left over in the fridge and I didn’t want to throw it out. To me, hollandaise is expensive stuff with all the yolks and butter in it! When I first posted this I believe I threw out my perfectly good hollandaise because I didn’t want to reheat it. But this time I stuck it in the microwave. Heated for 5sec and stirred. Another 5sec and stirred. I did this about 4 times until the hollandaise was warm. It didn’t split, it held together and it was delicious the next day. So, there is a way. I stopped using cornstarch long ago though, don’t do that anymore.
NOTE:
1 The melted butter should be (60 to 63ºC) when adding to the egg yolk mixture.
2 If the hollandaise sauce thickens up too much as it sits, whisk in a tablespoon or two of hot water.
