take me to dinner first
What makes the perfect slice?
It takes two hands to support the base. Fine strings of cheese cling to the board, snap free, and lightly singe your skin. The point flops over the edge of your knuckle, and the middle sags beneath a single prawn. The crust is tough enough to grasp, but soft enough to eat. Cheese bubbles and melts into a leopard-spotted blanket. Charred pockets of air crumble lightly at the crust’s edge.
From successfully channeling their desire to educate school communities on creativity and problem-solving, dynamic wedded duo Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland identified an issue of their own: their basic home oven was yet to bake the perfect base, spot-char the perfect crust, or craft that perfect slice. From their cheesy desire to do better, Ooni - initially 'Uuni', since altered to the phonetic spelling for ease of pronunciation - began to marinate, oven-bake, and finally resonate as a multi-award business all over the world.
Today, Kristian and Darina continue to deliver that authentic pizza experience past the flour-dusted steel bench of a specialist pizza café, into our humble backyards and beyond. Through Ooni’s range of portable outdoor pizza ovens, the couple foster that flame-cooked desire to inspire by delivering the know-how, hardware, and pizza power for pleasing the crowds hour after hour.
For the off-roaders after a
strapped-in solution…
…the range from TorkStrap blends high-strength flexibility and a tough, robust, pull-strap mechanism to deliver a safe solution to smart and secure tensioning.
TorkStrap President Grant Martin developed the brand following an incident with a bungee cord that resulted in an injury of his father’s hand. After harnessing the hurt and springing back from that moment, TorkStrap surfaced as a solution that combined the physics and features of both bungee cords and ratchet straps to offer a safer, simplistic, and more efficient way to transport our getaway gear – assembled from their facility in Santa Clarita, CA.
From the motorbikers and the kayakers to the car campers and overnight hikers, the proprietary power band technology of the TorkStrap delivers a dynamic tension that hugs your cargo to prevent movement during the offroad travels – negating the need to overtighten and reducing the risk of loosening.
For an innovatively designed tie-down that walks the walk and does the work – the TorkStrap is the tool that truly ‘torks the tork’.
