  • I pity people who spend their lives trying to keep up with the Joneses next door, only to die miserable as a result, and perhaps to discover in the afterlife that the Joneses weren't happy either. Just because it is now possible to have shiny saucepans doesn't mean that we should bother having them when we could be bungee jumping, knitting, or asleep.

      @joshboustead2702 8 лет назад +2

      Yes lol I prefer gas stoves by far. Heat gets there quicker, and when you turn it down anything cooking quickly reflects that. With electric it takes about 5 minutes and the heat still stays there as well. It'll be a sad day when you can no longer cook with gas.

    Re:- transfer of heat by conduction . The outside of the pan must be hotter than the water in it for two reasons. Firstly, heat flows by conduction from a higher temperature area to a lower one. Secondly, the water has a nominal maximum temperature of 100°C whereas a metal pan on a gas stove is not so constrained, even if it contains water.

    Well I like having clean, shiny saucepans. I also wipe down my stainless steel sink and drainer then I buff it with a linen tea towel.
    Moreover I enjoy peeling spuds, grating apples, digging the garden and watching the washing machine drum go round.
    And a good snooze on the sofa when I feel like it.
    Sometimes I don't change my clothes for three days in a row.
    I salvage every bit of string I come across, rubber bands too.
    I only wear shoes if it can't be avoided.
    Sometimes when it's raining I open the front door and stand there watching the water flood along in the gutter.

  • @bembleton
    @bembleton 9 лет назад +2

    Carbon deposits on a saucepan (the black stuff) causes the metal to be insulated from the heat of the stove. Increasing the energy required to boil/simmer or cook. Carbon deposits are an ideal surface for more carbon to attach to so the problem becomes compounded. Ideally you would have given the outside a quick clean whenever you cleaned the inside to remove the deposits.
    However once a deposit has built up it is arguably more costly in terms of energy heating the hot water that you will use to clean it.

    @wolf1066 11 лет назад

    From personal experience, I've found it takes less time to boil water in a pot with a blackened outside than one with a shiny outside - black absorbs heat and transfers it by conduction to the metal and the water inside while shiny metal reflects heat.
    My old aluminium billy I used for camping was quite inefficient until it had achieved a permanent black patina.
    I clean off any excess soot that might diminish the effectiveness due to insulation, but I don't scrub it shiny.

    Actually, cooking pasta doesn't kill bacteria. Also, the starch can peel off the pan, resulting unpleasant to eat if it sticks to the newly cooked pasta, which is likely. Also, this can slighlty change the texture of the pasta. So, yes, you should really wash the pan to have it clean on the inside. The outside can stay black as Blackadder's pot, though.

    Where I come from, cast iron skillets are common, and it is understood that they must be "seasoned", which basically means having been in contact with hot grease for long enough to have absorbed some into the metal and turned black. Some folks unfamiliar with these will try to scrub such pans until they are shiny, which is likely to induce a violent response from the pan's owner. In other words, black pans are good!

    3 points. Buying the same type of pasta again and again does get boring so it helps to mix them up. I agree with buying lots of the same thing, though I find that I rarely can buy the exact same item as I did before since there can be a bewildering variety (referring to trainers here). As with your pasta bacteria point, I agree in that its generally safe to reuse pans without washing, but not 100% safe for all foods, as some produce toxins that are not removed with boiling... though maybe diluted.

    Part of the pan may be hotter, but for the most part the pan will be very close in temperature. When I was in the Boy Scouts, we would boil eggs in paper cups on the camp fire. The rim of the cups above the water line would burn, but the rest of the cup would not.

    As a student repair tech, that black stuff on the bottom of your pots and pans is probably heat varnish. (I forget most of the technical stuff about it since I don't have my notes on me) but from what I remember it's basically the metal beginning to oxidize as it's heated to extreme temperatures, creating that layer of black gunk. For people who do a lot of silver soldering and what not hopefully know what I mean (and can correct me). An easy fix to this is to dunk it in a vat of diluted muriatic acid (aka, the pickle) for about 20-30 minutes and give it a quick scrub with steel wool and ta-da! clean shiny parts with minimal effort. At least that's how it works on brass instruments. I haven't tried it on pots or anything like that, but I feel like it would work, but I wouldn't recommend eating out of the pot after being in the acid... But at least it'll be shiny!

    As a history and language nerd I thought you might be interested to know (if you didn't already) that the idiom, "the pot calling the kettle black" comes from Don Quixote! As do many idioms apparently! I re-read the "first" novel (I think the Romans have a few proper novels) last year and was tickled to find how many English phrases come from the translation.
    And yes, your point is fantastic.

    lol, I am enjoying your rants, years after you posted these... I feel the same way about pots and desert boots also. I don't care if my shirts are wrinkled or not, but my wife will absolutely not go to even a cheap restaurant if my shirts are wrinkled. Who cares, there could be painters with paint all over their faces! I have to wear brown shoes with brown belts, but not when my pants are black, etc, etc. I suppose women, who were gatherers and preservers of food had better survival rate if they kept berries and meat free of maggots, and that translates to clean pots today. Boots of different colors could signal having more things to wear = higher status in the social hierarchy. All the complications between men and women... I let her impose whatever rules she wants to impose on me. We tend to get along with our women well, if we let women make us look good to other women. I've also heard of women fattening men up so they can claim them as their own. I don't know which is true. Do the women want us look good to other women or not?

      This! I think Lloyd should have gone a step further and criticized people for de-blacking their saucepans, thereby decreasing their energy efficiency, generating more evil CO2, and so sadly abusing poor mother Gaia more than was strictly necessary in the course of securing some hot noodles.

    Black things cook a lot faster than things that are shiny on the outside. It's perfectly noticeable when you buy new stainless steel camp cookware that it boils faster after you've used it over a camp fire and got it all black and sooty.

    In Sweden, we use electrical stoves so all of my pots and pans are a shining steel colour, exept for the ones black by nature like the cast iron frying pans. That is seriously the only reason I can think of to keep the pots and pans at their original colour...

  • @appa609
    @appa609 9 лет назад

    In the days of coke stoves, the blackness may have been residue carbon, which could have, if allowed to built up long enough, make the pan worse at heating up. However, the modern blackening is caused by a very thin layer of iron II oxide which has come from the metal oxidizing under high temperature. It's something called a patina, and can actually help prevent non-stainless cookware from rusting.

    I took a similar approach to cleaning windows. I just covered them with with this milky transluscent foil (originally to prevent my nosey neighbor from watching my nacked bum) but I discovered that they obviously don't let you see the grime on the outside of the glass as well. Makes me save an hour of work every few weeks.
