- 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.

Everyone unsub. Have you _seen_ the state of his saucepan?
Disgraceful.
Awful, just awful.
shame shame loyd
Goodness me, how can he live with himself
It even has some starch on the inside, it's basically unusable.
Methinks someone had a lady come by for dinner who perhaps was a little over-critical about someone's cookware. :)
TheOllieJackson He's still right.
Foxer604 *was expecting Lindy to give a lecture about how Samwise Gamgee could have realistically used a saucepan to fight a troll. . .
+Lorenzo Benito But his saucepan is still black! :-D
Foxer604 or critical about his cockware...
@@leifvejby8023 I like clean pans. I wouldn't want to eat foods cooked in a black pan. What if that crud on the inside of the pan scrapes of into the food. I like nice looking pans. I am against ironing though.

Yes, I should have made a second version of this video for those involved in protracted trench warfare.
Lloyd is the only man I know who can rant about saucepans. And I love him for it.
He was ranting about source pens, and that he sometimes puts a pastor in the pen.
Hi
I'll be honest I came onto this video wondering 'why on earth would he have a problem with saucepans?' but I left with better insight.
My insight is that Brits use gas stoves.. Not electrical ones..
To think kitchens all over the world are stuck in the 40's...
Gas is far better for cooking than electric. You can control the temperature way better.
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.
Kaziel Yes.. It's also suuuper effective.
+raidkoast I don't know about you, but to me gas stoves are far more elegant in design.
Pipe. Valve. Igniter.
Electric stoves may have any number of things go wrong with their components, whereas I could troubleshoot most problems with a gas stove by narrowing them down to about 5.
Wow, at this point I'm really thinking this guy could rant about anything and make it interesting.
lol
This guy could rant about anything.
FTFY
I have now seen everything. Ranting about saucepans. I love it.
This is why Lindybeige is one of the best channels on RUclips
How did you fit an entire pastor in your sauce pan?! Was he a particularly small Baptist???
True fact: the only reason Baptists have the third verse in their hymnals is to catch any Methodists that might be trying to infiltrate the congregation.
curse you for making me spill my coffee out of laughter
a pastor on a pasture eating pasta?

Saucepin
My sister threw out her kettle because a cockroach crawled out of it, i brought up the same thing you did about boiling water killing bacteria, but she wasn't having any of it, and then i called her a fake environmentalist for throwing out a perfectly good kettle.
AussieAnnihilation: if the cockroach had crawled into a pot and she didn’t notice until halfway through her meal, I’d understand her disgust, but would she throw out her digestive system?
Cockroach doesn't only leave bacteria, it also leaves non bacteria phatogens. I don't know if only boiling would work but boiling and pouring the water would work.
@@assasinpatates8066 you say non bacteria phatogens, I say flavor crystals
You lost a kettle, but you definitely won the argument
Congratulations
In many years of using this pan, no fungal growth yet.
I was expecting you to talk about the use of pans as a shield against arrows and bolts.
Don't be ludicrous, saucepans are helmets. It's dustbin-lids that make shields.
Bet they would be great against fire arrows...
Ironing was invented by people with too many servants...
+Aadil Shah It is nice to do when preparing to make something with cloth though, helpful if the bits want t lay flat and not crumple.
Linkxsc And that's valid, functional use for ironing.
I'd still prefer not being 'required by law' to iron my uniform. But meh, rules are rules...
Sometimes if I'm getting a little too fat for my clothes it makes them fit better. I've heard that people also iron when they do not have access to clean water to help kill germs.
Aadil Shah
required by law?
Linkxsc Well, required by the Department. So kinda! ;)
favorite line ever
"why do we have to iron shirts? it only makes them go flat, you know."
The blackness on the outside of your saucepan leads me to believe you have a gasstove... I feel like Sherlock Holmes now... I'm a little drunk...
+Johan Sandberg You don't feel like Sherlock Holmes until you're addicted to cocaine and morphine.

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.
Jesus Christ how can someone be so pedantic. You're right but you sound ridiculous, many of the words you said don't even make sense in context.
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.
Funny how you change when you get older.
Such a beautiful comment. Almost poetic. I can totally imagine this being in some literature book accompanied by several tasks / questions / exercises / whatever; directed towards analyzing this piece.
Ditto.
I love this guy.
Totally agree Lloyd, who the heck has time for cleaning saucepans, ironing shirts or untying knots; I say not I.
or clean underwear
You should try the siberian hitch. It is very easy to untie.
You cut your shoelaces? You must have a lot of money.
That's actually a fantastic example. who TIES their shoelaces? I just tie them once then proceed to slip them on and off. Why we aren't all on velcro by now is beyond me.
My pan is black even inside. But it does not show under the green.
I bought my saucepans with a black coat on them. Win.
I love that you explain this on youtube,
next time my friends inquire about the state of my pans I'll show them this video,
and I'll be have following your advice and be having fun!
Yes, boiling the water in the pan does kill the bacteria. BUT it doesn't get rid of any toxins that those bacteria might have produced
We're now supposed to call them 'saucepans of color.' Please make a note of it.

I've seen this. It doesn't explain why the "R" is also added when the word in question is at the end of a sentence.
+Lindybeige Well said mate, bollocks to modern encumbrances. You're a man after my own heart.
+Andy Pips huzzah!
@noobler9 Yes but the inner surface of the pan shouldn't make it to 101 centigrade, and that's where the potentially problematic bugs might be. Yes, the lower outside surface will get hotter, but have you ever put a completely full plastic bottle of water in a fire? It doesn't melt!.
Well it seems your dirty saucepan is really making you happy ;-)
I agree about the ironing though !
What about people who enjoy cleaning pans? They probably hate you wasting your time making chain mail. Chain mail, what use is that? Give them a few blackened pans to shine and they'll be chuffed for ages.
They exist.
Please send me one
He did address that point quite early in the video.
I tried that and eventually my saucepan caught on fire. Now I clean the outside of my saucepan.
LOL!
Just for cooking oil, i see
A person passionate about his kitchen and kitchen hobbies, who would take great pride keeping their tools as new.
@Arnechk Exactly. Clutter is efficient as well as beautiful.
I don’t think anything could make me as happy as Lloyd
@dyrestrike It was two years ago. I don't recall, but it might have been a visit or impending visit from a fussy guest.
Lloyd! It's been 11 years. What state is the saucepan in now, and do you want to rub the backside of it against your shirt real quick?
Are there many prions in pasta?
If you ever come down to NZ you are most welcome to come and visit. What a great attitude!
I needed this to feel better after having possibly done something very wrong.
I disagree with you on the interior of the saucepan, that part should be clean, without remaining food
Lindybeige's shirts may not be starched, but his saucepans are.
whenever there is nothing good to watch on youtube I can always listen to Lloyd ranting...
I'm about to watch an English man talk about sauce pans...
oh well.
Worth it.
+JARXAVIER2112 I concur.
You gave my life another goal. I am going to show this to my girlfriend, and while she goes catatonic, stunned by your powerful and logic arguments, i will live a free life of pleasures and delight. All the time i spent cleaning, washing dishes or passing the broom, i will therefore spend it on RomeTotalWar and reading of Osprey Publishing.
Good. You know, secretly, I'd been hoping this.

The inside does need to be cleaned to avoid growing mold, which will infect other areas with its spores. The outside just needs to be clean, not shiny for the same reason.
I would suggest to clean the bottom of it with steel wool. Specially if you use an electric stove. It improves the heat conduction and saves energy. I do it probably once a year.
It is more important to do it to pans.
"if you felt that way, i wouldnt want to know you" nice quote
If anyone insults you or your black saucepan remember that a good saucepan also functions as a club.
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.
actually the black sooted stuff lowers the albedo of metal surface and makes your pan more thermally conductive ... so there you have it dark saucepans are better than shiny ones
@KnockoffNigeI So, I shouldn't eat them, then?
Yes...I have to agree with you Lloyd...I have another example of a useless task...excessive lawn mowing...my neighbor mows his lawn a minimum of twice a week, and he does so on his huge gas powered electric riding lawn mower. He will not allow the grass in his expansive yard to grow longer than a few centimeters...he spends several HOURS per week doing this...we on the other hand merely keep our lawn from looking like a jungle...
Thanks for your vids, I love them.
But the shiny effect gives it +5 Luck and +2 against fish!
Thanks for the video; it was very thought provoking.
Spent the whole 3 minutes waiting for you to put the pot on your head. No fun. Time wasted.
I didn't but now you mention it I really want him to do that.
If no one is coming over to your house and disparaging your saucepans, then why did you make this video?
+Nick Georgopoulos Maybe he saw a commercial for cookware polish.
Actually, cleaning the outside of the saucpan really *does* increase cooking efficiency- the black crap is carbon, which is a much worse heat conductor than clean metal, meaning you use more energy/take longer to cook stuff. So now you know. :)
I honestly thought this was going to be about using frying pans as weapons like in Tangled.
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.
Lloyd: Shall we go somewhere and have some fun?
Me: That's.. that's why I'm here
Agree 100%, improve posterity by getting rid of useless vanities.
Lloyd can rant about absolutely fucking anything and make it entertaining
People like aesthetic.
Ive found that making things shiny is really fulfilling. not necessarily fun, but definitely satisfying.
Some people prefer to be practical. To each their own.
Even if I agree with you, I would never have made that as "public" statement.
I'm just impressed the saucepan managed to get this black to begin with. Think I've spent maybe a few minutes of my life in total scrubbing outsides of pans and they look perfectly clean. That's a trade-off I'm willing to make tbh.
@dyrestrike The wider ramifications are not insignificant, and millions of man-hours a year are wasted by caps-lock keys.
I like that I'm not the only sensible person who sees through nonsense like this. Good work, Lloyd!
I came into this thinking that Lloyd would be talking about how important pans are to civilization - in making food preparation, especially for many people, so much easier.
Then I realized it was a Lloyd rant.
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!
Perhaps I should only approve comments that rhyme, to filter out people unwilling to make the effort and thus raise standards.
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.
That would be very thick residue.
People like shiny metal, people like shiny metal...
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.
I really thought this was gonna be about Tangled.
i hought it was going to be about samwise gamgee myself.:)
Did someone come by and genuinely say something snobby about his pan being dirty looking because he seemed like he was reenacting a scene when he was talking about the person saying that bit

#AllSaucepansMatter - it had to be said :P

Very true, but right now we are talking about black saucepans. Racist much?

I actually like the carbon on the outside of saucepans, it shows good use
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?
A black saucepan is also quite useful, since black absorbs more heat than something shiny
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.
Please do a rant on those Fabreeze adds on your Chanel. Everyone needs to smell the carcinogenic chemicals and love it.
Thanks enjoy your channel.
But how does he get his pan black though? Mine just sort of stays shiny.
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.
But Loyd are you still using the same saucepan a dozen years out from this video???
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...
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.
@pyr666 I have so few pans, that they stay on the hob.
the title of this made me think of pokemon when brock says "I know, i'll use my trusty frying pan.... as a drying pan"
This what the thinker was thinking about
Nice to see another fanatical pragmatist out there.
Brava Lloyd, I feel the same way about my cast iron skillet.
To be fair, I did put a clue in the title.
