Why do Dutch Oven lids have little bumps all over the inside?

I just got a Calphalon Dutch Oven, and noticed that the inside of the lid is covered with dozens of bumps, like rings of nipples. I have an idea what they’re for, but I wonder if anyone knows for sure. If not, give it your best guess along with some good reasons.

The comb of bumps on the inside of a dutch oven are to make sure that steam droplets fall evenly over the entire top of the casserole/cake/whatever you are cooking.

A usual domed lid, the water droplets collect and drop from two places… either from the very peak of the dome (which means there may be a puddle on top of or in the middle of your cake/casserole) or runs down the sides, which means you might end up with the cake/casserole not cooking evening along the edges. The honeycomb bumps make sure that the steam droplets drop evening across the whole top, and cannot collect in just one or two places in/on the food, since dutch ovens are not ment to be opened and stirred during cooking.

How do the Dutch feel about people coming into The Netherlands and opening up businesses?

I’m considering moving out there and opening a bar. I do speak fluent dutch from my time living with my aunt in Antwerp, so there will be no language barrier. I’m just curious about what they think. Answers from an Native people in The Netherlands would help.

To be honest I think that perception is not the biggest issue really. The viability of starting a new business in this economic situation and the immigration side of things will probably be much bigger issues than what people here think of you doing so.

In principle of course then being a foreign business owner has more acceptance in the larger cities or Randstad area in general than in a small village where people generally have known each other for years and might be more wary of an "outsider" (and I use the term ‘outsider’ rather than ‘foreigner’ because even native Dutch moving into a small community have some difficulties sometimes).

So moving onto the viability. The economic slowdown has not impacted NL as much as other European countries, but there is a marked difference here compared with say this time two years ago and small businesses are finding it difficult to make ends meet. With job insecurity and smaller wage rises, the first thing people tend to cut down on is eating & drinking out. Also small business are finding it exceptionally difficult to get credit. I say this from experience as well. My husband has a small business (alongside his daily job) here and it is very fortunate that this is a second source of income because it is very hard for it to find new contracts in this environment when companies (and people) do not want to make investments or outgoings. Therefore I would really seriously advise you to get as much info as possible concerning the viability in your case before making any financial commitments. A good place to start is with the KvK which is the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. They do have a section on their website in English which gives the basics including contact details http://www.kvk.nl/english/startingabusiness/default.asp

Last but not least is the immigration issue. You don”t mention your nationality, but unless you hold an EU/EEA passport then it is not as simple to just move to NL and start a business. You would have to obtain a visa to be self-employed. However, to get this, you would have to prove that the business is of fundamental interest to the Dutch economy and it states on the official documents that cafe’s, bars and such like are not considered as such. You can read more on this site http://www.ind.nl/EN/index.asp and specifically here http://www.ind.nl/en/Images/4012_VIN_ENG_tcm6-595.pdf

Therefore without wanting to put a complete dampener on your plans, I really would advise you to think carefully and do a lot of research before making fixed plans – this way you have your eyes open and avoid disappointment and potentially financial losses.

Car hits crowd near Dutch queen’s bus

UPDATE: 1 May At 9:00 AM (local time) the Dutch news say that the car driver is past away on a brain trauma this night.
So he dont get before trial, thats a sad thing!

Update:
The suspect has been put in status of charge and becomes suspicious of an attack on the Dutch queen and roayl family

Four people have been killed and 13 wounded when a car careered into a crowd of people watching the Dutch royal family riding past in an open-top bus, police said.

Queen Beatrix was in the bus with her family when the small black car zoomed past. The crowds were behind barriers off the road, but security officials and journalists, including many cameramen, were in the road as the car went by.

Members of the royal family saw the crash and gasped, then quickly sat down as the bus continued driving.

The car crashed into the low metal railing around a column on the side of the road. The car appeared heavily damaged even before the crash, but the reason for that was unclear.

How many units of alcohol do I need to sup to obtain dutch courage?

Because I need to go on a scary rollercoaster and the only way I am going to get on it is with a bit of dutch courage ;)
How many units are you reccomending I drink to obtain a satisfactory amount of dutch courage?
I am a 18 year old female by the way and I am slightly overweight.

You would be better off taking a valium. A ‘D10′ wud sort u out no problem. Just tell ur doctor ur flying to another country and ur petrified of planes and he shud then sort u out

How difficult to pick up reading knowledge of Dutch?

How long would it take casually learning it? And what would be the best way to go about it?

I am a native English speaker and am completely fluent (C1.2) in German, have dabbled in Middle High German, also speak French.

Looking for answers from people who learned Dutch after having already had at least a good working knowledge of German.

Thanks in advance!

My mother learned to speak Dutch in a seven-day crash course while her American friend took that week to learn how to count up to 10. It might have helped that she spent her entire life in a German educational system.

My point is, it’s not a very hard language to learn, I think, if you’ve got a solid base in German. I learned French, English and German after having spent my childhood in Holland and I think these three languages are all connected through Dutch. It depends on how fast a learner you are! Just pick up some simple childrens books (like Jubelientje or Meester Jaap with colourful illustrations, those are really fun) and try to draw connections between the words you know from other languages. That’s what I do with Swedish books when I’m at Ikea. Watch films in Dutch or with Dutch subtitles. Watch Dutch TV shows online.

Veel geluk!

How much would it cost to get british nationality? Must I get dual nationality to drop my dutch nationality?

I have been living in britain for 7-8 years. I have dutch nationality but I want to change it to british?
On the website it says naturalization costs £720, is that what everyone must pay and is paying?
Do I have to get dual nationality to drop my dutch nationality?

Yes everyone must pay the same amount.
You can drop your dutch nationality, but it has to be done in front of a Dutch consular offical. I know there is a fee involved but not sure what it is. Also if you drop your Dutch citizenship before you take another you will be considered a stateless person. Think long and hard before doing this.
