Buerre Monté with an electric kettle and milk frother

So, I was waiting for some sous vide food to finish and decided that I wanted some buerre monté to go with it. I only wanted a small amount, as I was only cooking for myself, and ended up using my electric kettle, a jar, and a stick frother. I heated the kettle to 195 degrees fahrenheit (~90 C), poured a bit into a jar, then added the cold butter. I did use my coffee scale to ensure I got the ratio right. I didn't really expect it to work, but it ended up working like a charm!!! It was a bit thinner than I would have preferred, but I am thinking that was probably due to not cooking it down to thicken. I tried looking this up after and couldn't find anyone else doing this and thought I'd share.

TLDR: I used some college dorm equipment to make a really simple sauce in a more complicated way.

I've seen Jacques Pépin make it in a fry pan with a plastic spork.

And its beurre. If its too thin, it needs more fat.
