  • 100 grams of pistachio ( 50 grams crushed, 50 grams for decoration)
  • 100 grams of butter
  • 3/4 cup of castor sugar
  • 1 cup of Sasko flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of full cream plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp cardamon
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of orange zest
  • 1 tin of peaches (drained)
  • 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • Pomegranate seeds for decoration

Method:

  • At the bottom of a springform tin, place the peaches and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
  • Beat the butter and sugar till pale and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
  • Add dry ingredients and fold.
  • Add the zest and yoghurt, fold until well combined.
  • Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 40- 45 mins

Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then turn the cake around it’s the peach bottom on top.

Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and pistachio
Serve with whipped cream

Salted caramel chocolate soufflé

DESSERT RECIPES YOU SHOULD TRY THIS WINTER

Makes 6

Salted Caramel:

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup of Water
  • 3/4 cup of Castor sugar
  • 50 grams of Butter
  • 1/4 cup of Cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method:

  • Place water and sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat.
  • Cook until the colour changes to amber, about 5 mins.
  • Gently add the butter and stir.
  • Add the cream and teaspoon of salt.
  • Stir till well combined and allow to cool.

Chocolate soufflé:

Ingredients:

  • 150 dark chocolate
  • 150 butter
  • 3 eggs separated
  • 150 icing sugar
  • 50 cocoa powder
  • 60 grams of Sasko cake flour

Method:

  • Melt chocolate over a Bain Marie.
  • Once melted add the butter and stir.
  • Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and then add to chocolate mixture.
  • Add the sifted dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture and lastly add the egg whites. Fold until well combined.

Pour into a ramekin, fill approximately 3/4 of the way and pipe the centre with salted caramel.
Bake for 12-15 mins on 180 degrees.

Once done place the chocolate soufflé onto a plate and sprinkle with cocoa and decorate with an edible flower. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

  21. Copper wire bar scrap procurement In recent years, there has been increasing interest in developing efficient and sustainable methods for reducing environmental pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 is a harmful atmospheric pollutant that is a primary contributor to smog and acid rain, and can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. One promising approach for NO2 reduction is the use of catalysts, which can facilitate the conversion of NO2 to less harmful compounds such as nitrogen (N2). In a recent study, researchers have demonstrated the potential of using atomically dispersed copper (Cu) sites in a metal-organic framework (MOF) for NO2 reduction. MOFs are highly porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands, and can offer a unique platform for hosting and stabilizing metal catalysts. The researchers prepared an MOF incorporating Cu sites, and tested its ability to reduce NO2 to N2 under ambient conditions. They found that the Cu-MOF catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity for NO2 reduction, achieving a conversion rate of up to 99% and selectivity of over 90%. The researchers attributed this high activity to the presence of the atomically dispersed Cu sites, which act as active sites for the catalytic reaction. Importantly, the Cu-MOF catalyst was found to be stable and reusable over multiple cycles, indicating its potential for practical applications. Additionally, the researchers demonstrated that the Cu-MOF catalyst could be used in a flow reactor configuration, further highlighting its potential for large-scale applications. Overall, this study highlights the potential of atomically dispersed Cu sites in MOFs as efficient and sustainable catalysts for NO2 reduction. With further development and optimization, this approach could offer a new pathway for mitigating the negative impacts of atmospheric pollution Scrap metal reclamation processes Copper scrap purchasing Scrap Copper recycling process Scrap copper safety standards Copper scrap business intelligence Metal recycling and reclamation

  23. Recycled copper supply chain Mining has been an essential part of human history for over 70 centuries. From the first crude digging tools to the advanced machinery of today, mining has played a critical role in shaping the world we know. The earliest form of mining can be traced back to 4,000 B.C. in Egypt, where copper was mined from the Sinai Peninsula. Over the centuries, the Egyptians also mined gold, silver, and other metals. In ancient Greece, mining became a thriving industry, particularly in Athens and Sparta. The Greeks mined silver, lead, and iron and used these metals to create weapons, armor, and currency. The Roman Empire was also heavily involved in mining, with mines located throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Romans mined gold, silver, lead, tin, and iron, and were particularly skilled at extracting precious metals from low-grade ores. During the Middle Ages, mining continued to be a significant industry, with coal mining becoming prevalent in Europe. The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries saw a significant increase in mining activity, as new technologies were developed to extract minerals more efficiently. The 20th century saw further advancements in mining technology, with the introduction of electric power, mechanical shovels, and other machinery. The drive for metals during World War II saw mining operations expand rapidly. Today, mining is a sophisticated and highly organized industry, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and computer-aided design and planning. It continues to be a critical component of many economies, with minerals and metals used in everything from construction materials to electronics. Throughout history, mining has had a significant impact on society. It has created wealth, provided jobs, and fueled economic growth. However, it has also had environmental impacts, leading to pollution and habitat destruction. As we move into the future, it is vital that we continue to find ways to balance the benefits and drawbacks of mining to ensure a sustainable future Scrap metal supply chain management Copper scrap resource recovery Copper sheet coil scrap buyer Copper scrap cleanliness standards Copper scrap traceability Metal waste collection solutions
