Curdling occurs when proteins or fats separate due to overheating or acidic reactions. **Rescue Methods**:  

**1. Immersion Blender Revival**:  

- Ideal for cream-based sauces (e.g., béchamel). Submerge the blender and pulse until smooth. The mechanical force re-emulsifies fats and liquids.  

**2. Starch Slurry Stabilization**:  

- Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot with 2 tbsp cold water. Whisk into the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes. Starch molecules bind separated components.  

**3. Tempered Dairy Addition**:  

- For dairy soups (e.g., chowder), warm ½ cup cream. Gradually add a spoonful of hot soup to the cream, then reverse the process to prevent shock.  

**Prevention Strategies**:  

- **Low Heat**: Never boil dairy sauces. Maintain temperatures below 180°F (82°C).  

- **Acid Timing**: Add lemon juice or tomatoes after removing from heat.  

**Science Insight**:  

- Dairy proteins (casein) coagulate at high temps, forming clumps. Starch acts as a stabilizer by creating a gel network.  

**Recipe Variations**:  

- **Vegan Fix**: Use coconut milk and tapioca starch for dairy-free sauces.  

- **Broth-Based Soups**: Blend overcooked vegetables (e.g., potatoes) to thicken without dairy.
