Hello,I have a pan that's fluted like a brioche pan, but it has the tube in the middleIt's made of aluminumI picked it up at a thrift store and I have no instructionsIs this pan good for baking pound cakes and if not, can you elaborate on what it's best used for?Thanks in advance.
Yes, I would be upset about them leaving a mess, too!! I they're going to take the cans the least they can do is show a little courtesy!! You should leave a note on a large peice of carboard (that way it can be taken with the rest of the recycling) that reads something like You are welcome to anything in this bin but please don't leave a mess on the ground, thanks! Sometimes being nice to someone who is being rude or inconsiderate can make that person feel like a real jerk!! If after that they still continue to leave the mess I would wait to put the bin outI wouldn't separate the cans from everything else making it convenient for them.
however, when one considers the relative values of various recyclables, there can be reason for concern over the taking, as wellmost recycling professionals use money made from reselling more valuable recyclables, such as metal, to offset the costs incurred in handling the less-valuable recycleables, such as plastic(which can be a net-loss process) since operating a recycling center can be a zero-profit to net-loss operation, when one is required to accept all recyclables, it is common for waste management companies to use service rates to offset any losses incurred in running the recycling operationTherefore, having dumpster divers removing all of the metal (the most value per ounce material) from the recycling bins is contributing to a net loss on the recyclers' part, which will ultimately be reflected in higher service ratesthat aside, as you say, they also leave a mess behind, are very noisy, and I can't tell from the tone of your comment whether it's just an old gas guzzling pickup that they drive, or if they are driving a luxury car to make their rounds, but either way, it leaves me questioning whether they are experiencing a net loss by stealing the metal(I sell my scrap wire to a metals recycler, and make about enough to cover the fuel for the trip, and a hamburgersince I bundle the selling trip with a purchasing trip, I have a net gain, but I think a person could make more money with less work by having an honest job.)
It is a sign of the timesMy younger brother used to do it when he was out of workThen the price of aluminum dropped to where it was not worth the gas money I think they have to do it quick or people come out and yell at them or even heckle themThat is where the mess comes inIf you don't mind them taking the stuff and you know they are going to take it anyway why not separate the stuff to avoid the messLike put the cans in a plastic bagLets face it, these people could have made some better choices but they are not lazy peopleHell it is hard, embarrassing work digging through people trash house to houseI understand this not something you should have to doBut there are the ways things are, and the way things should be.
We had people going through our bins in Portland.and yes they are noisy! The only thing i can suggest is separate it for themJust have a separate bag for cans and leave it by the recycle binIt's more work.but barely any extra.and they will be quiet! yeah.it doesn't make sense cause gas uses way more money!
sounds like a bundt pan Bundt Pan A heavy-walled baking pan formed with a decorative indented curvature and a hollow tube in the centerThe heavier walled construction allows cake batters to rise and bake more uniformly, while the improved heat conduction and hollow center tube enable the cake to bake evenly, creating a golden crust on the outside of the cakeWith the decorative shape of the pan a pleasing appearance is produced from the baked cakeThis pan is generally used for baking coffee cakes and sweet cakes, known as bundt cakesWhen the mixture of cake ingredients are baked, the cake is shaped into the decorative form of the panAfter the ingredients are baked, the pan is turned over so the firm cake falls out onto a plate or counter to be decorated or prepared for servingOther similar pans for cakes are called tube pans or angel food cake pans.
