Original Problem

Home cooks unable to salvage broken emulsion dressings, wasting ingredients and time

Home cooks frequently encounter broken vinaigrettes and mayonnaise-based dressings that separate or fail to emulsify, forcing them to discard expensive ingredients and start over. Current solutions lack clear, reliable rescue techniques that work consistently, leaving cooks frustrated and uncertain about whether their failed batch can be saved. This is particularly painful because emulsion failures happen unexpectedly mid-preparation, disrupting meal planning.
