Kaihikatea Xmas cake Box
This handcrafted wooden cake box has been constructed using 18mm Kaihikatea (white pine) to provide extra insulation and is designed with a suspended base for extra strength. Dimensions are 23cmX 23cmX9.5cm (approx). Each box is constructed then placed in an oven at 140deg C for one hour and then left to cool. The box is then taken apart and trimmed to minimise the gaps that occur during the seasoning process before being re-assembled and oiled using several applications of rice bran oil. So the box is ready to line with baking paper and slow bake your favourite cake. You must remember to always line your cake box with either baking paper or brown paper. Simply brush any crumbs or spills out after each use and never wash your cake box by immersing it in water. These boxes are designed for slow and low baking at temperatures of 150C or lower and they should not be used on the stovetop or in the microwave. Re-apply rice bran oil when the wood starts to look dry.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
