Shad, sweetheart, why are you using that dreadful modern alloy pan with the bolted on handle rather than a proper cast iron pan with a handle that is part of the body of the pan?... the weight, heft and force of blow of a 5-7 pound iron skillet would be entirely different than you will ever get with than flimsy bit of trash there.
I've seen some horrific injuries from people attacking others with frying pans working in a hospital. I have law enforcement buddies who have seen what I have and worse. What it comes down to is how many people are also actually trained to fight or have any real experience with it? Also a good cast iron pan is what everyone should have in their kitchen as well.
My first thought. Although the heft of cast iron carries the problems of needing rather large biceps to wield. Also, cast iron is, as far as I know, an industrial revolution technology. I don't think it existed in the medieval period, Perhaps wrought iron instead?
Or military shovel (I even remember a story that german doctors in WWII after attacking the soviets were very surprised at the amount of injuries they had to treat which were comparable to battle-axe injury, it turned out it was inflicted by shovels which were better suited for combat than bayonets).

The answer to that question is situational. If you're pulling a room temperature frying pan out of a cupboard, it's a "meh, better than nothing" weapon. If you've just finished frying burgers in it and it's still burning hot, it becomes an outstanding weapon, especially if it still contains hot grease to splash in your attacker's face!
It's really bothering me that you're using a modern pan instead of a traditional cast iron one. There is So much more mass in a cast iron pan which would make it an insane force multiplier. We're talking skull shattering amounts of psi. It would be a lot slower though. Also, cast iron pans generally have the handle more in line with the pan at least on my experience. Edit: I'm not sure how common this manufacturering technique was throughout time. Obviously if it wasn't a reasonably available product then it's less of an issue
Can't argue. I love my old-style cast iron pans - they have some serious heft. That said, they also have a lot of momentum when swung, so if you miss your first strike, you're really going to be left wide open for a while.

@@TheGuardDuck It really has nothing to do with visual similarities. It's just that kids often watch stuff on repeat over and over again, sometimes watching favorites back to back, until it all blurs together into some kind of twisted eldritch abomination from beyond the realms of time and space...
That's what I was thinking. Though, that heft makes them even more problematic to swing around effectively. More damage... less balance. Maybe a small one would be more effective?
Actually I used to work with a cast iron skillet, just to see how effective it could be. The best size is probably one you can grip with one hand, anything requiring two hands just has too much weight to be used effectively.
This is exactly what I was thinking. The tangled clip was a cast iron and the hobbits used one. Tika in the Dragon Lance novels starts off armed with one as well. Cast iron for the win.
Who's TF2 and you probably shouldn't buy a sword from him. Also not all frying pans and swords are of the same material so it would depend on exactly what each are made of how thick they are etc.
Fun fact: During the pandemic, I've actually used my (really heavy) cast iron pan to practice swords swings and to build up strength. My apartment is too small to swing my swords in properly (I might have broken a lamp...). I've started to actually get decently proficient with the frying pan now, but it's still really awkward to handle. After the pandemic, I'm definitely taking one to my fencing club to try it out.
Now Shad please note that in almost every depiction the Frying Pan is a Case-Iron Pan. That dinky modern pan don't give a scene of the true weight and solidity of the pans use in fiction.
You do realise how brittle cast iron is right. Even bog standard modern steel holds up better to punishment when used as a blunt impact tool. The only weakness in a modern frying pan is the riveted handle. And some high end pans are a single piece construction so there's not even that.
clothar23 the primary use would be grabbing the cast iron pan in self defense of abusive family member or home invader. And trust me, once you hit someone’s skull with that cast iron pan, you’re not going to have to worry about blocking their weapon. In every case I can think of, it is used to create blunt force trauma on the attacker’s body.
Pretty sure just throwing(or dropping) it towards someone would take whatever it hits out of the fight. An ex roommate dropped one on his foot while drunk, he has 9 toes these days.
Honestly yeah, most weapons in their base concepts are just more lethal versons of every day items, Sword is a bigger knife, Spear is a sharpened walking stick, Arrows/bullets are sticks/metal propelled very fast.
I have heard tales of a frying pan of immense size, and legend says that it’s power was so great it was used to slay dragons and then used to cook dragon steaks.
It's as Anthony Bourdain once said. "If you were to hit a person with your frying pan, and you're not sure if the pan or their skull will dent, you need a heavier frying pan."
@@dumbleking5172 The trouble is wielding a cast iron. Those things are *not* weighted for combat. You would need to use a lot of strength to get it into a viable combat position.
I love how your always willing to take an unbiased look at even the most unorthodox or even ridicules weapon. If I may suggest I would love to see you look at a heavily curved sword with a blade inside the curve as a weapon design not for harming your opponent, but instead for disarming them, or rendering their weapon ineffective.
@@Malkontent1003 oh shit. Is there some states where it's not legal or it's just not legal everywhere ? If it isn't legal, that's funny to know that we can have guns
A cast iron pan would be heavier, sturdier, more effective as a weapon, and more historically accurate. (Edit: I don't remember ever getting so many likes lol thanks guys)
High Ground Productions true, but how well could you control that pan? You could use the argument of using it like a heavy mace, but the handle is to small to practically wield it, and you’ll probably lose your grip on it.
@@nikhilbhavani981 Why are you assuming only a small handled pan? A heavier pan also needs a heavier, sturdier handle, both to give more distance to the heat from portion of the pan over the cooking heat and also because a heavier pan requires a sturdier handle to prevent the handle from simply separating from the pan. Someone higher up mentioned the handle of a pan they used having bent after a 'few good whacks.'
@@nikhilbhavani981 Grip it so your middle and index fingers are inside the pan. As a weightlifter, it's easy to control. I've used a #8 as a racket before.
@@BierBart12 The frying pan is like the Swiss Army Knife of, um... heavy cast-iron objects. Not quite as handy, but a lot more sturdy. Also, as a weapon, I'd pick a frying pan over a Swiss Army Knife any day of the week. No offense to the Swiss Army. Or the Swiss Navy. They have ten of these bad boys: flickr.com/photos/priska_k-b/19029189571/ Not to mention their aircraft carrier: flickr.com/photos/13245485@N08/2020738319/ So, a bit better than a frying pan.

I am by and far the better cook, and I have spent many years collecting the proper tools to cook as well and as efficient as possible. These tools are expensive and if used improperly can become damaged. the knives must be maintained and sharpened, the pans cannot have metal tools applied to them ect ect. She has no interest in learning how to do this stuff so she can use her own walmart frying pan and when she takes a fork to it to stir her food it does not destroy a very expensive pan. our relationship is highly balanced and highly loving, she does laundry (which i hate), I do yard maintenance (which she hates). I cook and do most of the cleaning because I enjoy these things, she buys all the cleaning supplies and yard supplies. she works longer hours I get paid more for the hours I work, we save for house projects together and have separate accounts for random fun things, this leads to neither spouse ever having that "honey you bought another X" thing debate as we each have what we call "stupid money" to spend on whatever we'd like. all in all our situation has been highly effective for a decade.
As a rule when refering to a frying pan as a weapon i usually assume its cast iron. They almost always are and it would be a sensible choice of pan. Very heavy.
Great choice for adventuring a bit heavy but clean up would be easy if it was preseasoned of course, but then another question comes to mind which would be best a cast iron cornbread pan a cast iron grill pan or a regular cast iron pan? would grill pans and cornbread pans have adventages over regular cast iron in terms of weaponry? or is the regular pan superior but then what about cast iron woks they are almost like shallow pots they are heavier than nonstick but more shield like I would think
Proper halfling adventure gear requires a pot, a pan, a good knife and at least a spoon. Some seasonings can make a huge difference as well but aren't neccessary for survival. It's best if the pot doubles as a helmet as it can be easier to carry in long dungeon crawls that way. This is vital as boilling water is the best way to purify it without using magic. The frying pan needs to be forged or cast as a single piece. A general purpose pan is best, unless you have a cart, being able to use it in any cooking or combat instance is best. It doubles as a defensive and offensive weapon if used properly. The knife needs to be utilitarian capable of butchering and processing game as easily as chopping vegetables, especially potatoes. This is handy as an offensive weapon as it can butcher humanoids to if you know what you're doing. As for the spoon you need one big enough to assist with cooking and serving food but not too big you can't eat with it. You can survive without a fork but you need a spoon. That all said I have watched a real world modern soldier use an folding entrenching tool to cook on. The same tool I've seen used as a axe or even, rarely, its intended purpose as a shovel.
I'm so confused by the poleaxe. A helbard, which doen't sound like anything to do with blades, always has an axe on it. A poleaxe may or may not have one, even though it literally has "axe" in its name. Also, the helbard is generally longer than the poleaxe, even though the poleaxe literally has "pole" in its name. So why is the poleaxe called poleaxe if that name would be way more fitting for the helbard? Screw it, i'll use a frying pan.
@@justaregulartoaster The poleaxe probably started out as simply an axe with a longer handle, then it started to vary. A halberd is a more specialized weapon. Lindybeige has a good video on it, I recommend you to watch it.
I can defiantly imagine a Wizard enchanting a frying pan into giving the wielder super human fighting skills. Both for simple shits and giggles and because it's less likely to be stolen than a sword.
Personally, if I'm going to smack someone with a pan, I'll use cast iron rather than a thin, non-stick pan with a handle bolted on. Also, I think it's better to compare this to something like a mace rather than a sword.
even a cast iron pan has still the limitations with the surface area. Ok if you hit someone good on the Skull the curvature of the skull will help konzentraiting the force. Also A Cast Iron pan is heavy! You need to train with this thing to swing it for more than 5 seconds!°
Good point, but as others have done I'll bring up the brittleness of Cast Iron. If you brought down a cast iron pan as hard as you could onto someone's face (forget the idea of them wearing a forged steel helmet for a moment), which is going to shatter first, the pan or their skull?
@@rollingthunder1043 probably still the skull, even if bone is hard at least for the first few skulls the pan should be ok. On the other Hand steel Helmets would be a problem... But the exact material is not that easy... some kinds of steel could be suitible, but you need to still be able to use it for cooking without fucking up the hardening...
@@nulious alas, my set went into storage. My apartment lacks a gas stove. Although my stoneware pans have been fairly good for me, not as good as cast iron, but better than most.

Obviously, when a pan is used as a weapon in most fiction, the depiction is of a cast iron pan. That modern thing is too lightweight.
A problem with the cast iron pan is the inherent brittleness of the material - if struck by another weapon, it might fall apart.
@@generic_tylenol you clearly haven’t cooked with cast iron.
@@lobsteroverrun I've salvaged enough cast iron with hammers to know it's not exactly impact-resistant.
@@generic_tylenol What condition we're they. New or rusted?
@@Bleepbleepblorbus it doesn't matter, it's cast iron and not steel, so it is much more brittle regardless of the amount of rust
Wrong pan mate, a cast iron pan one like in the movie is a scary solid piece of.....cast iron.
Guess it really can CAST a new light on things? nvm
That's what I was thinking. Though, that heft makes them even more problematic to swing around effectively. More damage... less balance. Maybe a small one would be more effective?
Actually I used to work with a cast iron skillet, just to see how effective it could be. The best size is probably one you can grip with one hand, anything requiring two hands just has too much weight to be used effectively.
This is exactly what I was thinking. The tangled clip was a cast iron and the hobbits used one. Tika in the Dragon Lance novels starts off armed with one as well. Cast iron for the win.
But it will be heavy like ... so it would likely be the worst kind of pan to use as weapon
If I've learned one thing from Jackie Chan, it's that anything can be a weapon, if you are creative enough.

Fun fact: During the pandemic, I've actually used my (really heavy) cast iron pan to practice swords swings and to build up strength. My apartment is too small to swing my swords in properly (I might have broken a lamp...). I've started to actually get decently proficient with the frying pan now, but it's still really awkward to handle.
After the pandemic, I'm definitely taking one to my fencing club to try it out.
Now Shad please note that in almost every depiction the Frying Pan is a Case-Iron Pan. That dinky modern pan don't give a scene of the true weight and solidity of the pans use in fiction.
You do realise how brittle cast iron is right. Even bog standard modern steel holds up better to punishment when used as a blunt impact tool. The only weakness in a modern frying pan is the riveted handle. And some high end pans are a single piece construction so there's not even that.
That one is aluminium.
clothar23 the primary use would be grabbing the cast iron pan in self defense of abusive family member or home invader. And trust me, once you hit someone’s skull with that cast iron pan, you’re not going to have to worry about blocking their weapon. In every case I can think of, it is used to create blunt force trauma on the attacker’s body.
@@doubtful_seer it also has the advantage if you were cooking of getting very hot, like several 100°C hot.

A cast iron pan would be heavier, sturdier, more effective as a weapon, and more historically accurate.
(Edit: I don't remember ever getting so many likes lol thanks guys)
High Ground Productions true, but how well could you control that pan? You could use the argument of using it like a heavy mace, but the handle is to small to practically wield it, and you’ll probably lose your grip on it.
@@nikhilbhavani981 Why are you assuming only a small handled pan? A heavier pan also needs a heavier, sturdier handle, both to give more distance to the heat from portion of the pan over the cooking heat and also because a heavier pan requires a sturdier handle to prevent the handle from simply separating from the pan. Someone higher up mentioned the handle of a pan they used having bent after a 'few good whacks.'
@@nikhilbhavani981 Grip it so your middle and index fingers are inside the pan. As a weightlifter, it's easy to control. I've used a #8 as a racket before.
Cast iron had so much carbon that its more brittle than the steel in a sword

Non stick frying pan, not really.
Cast iron frying pan: Between that and a mace i think the pan still has more utility.

Plus the geometry of it is closer to ideal with the handle being planar with pan portion.
@@BierBart12 The frying pan is like the Swiss Army Knife of, um... heavy cast-iron objects. Not quite as handy, but a lot more sturdy. Also, as a weapon, I'd pick a frying pan over a Swiss Army Knife any day of the week. No offense to the Swiss Army.

These tools are expensive and if used improperly can become damaged. the knives must be maintained and sharpened, the pans cannot have metal tools applied to them ect ect. She has no interest in learning how to do this stuff so she can use her own walmart frying pan and when she takes a fork to it to stir her food it does not destroy a very expensive pan.

I cook and do most of the cleaning because I enjoy these things, she buys all the cleaning supplies and yard supplies. she works longer hours I get paid more for the hours I work, we save for house projects together and have separate accounts for random fun things, this leads to neither spouse ever having that "honey you bought another X" thing debate as we each have what we call "stupid money" to spend on whatever we'd like. all in all our situation has been highly effective for a decade.

As a rule when refering to a frying pan as a weapon i usually assume its cast iron. They almost always are and it would be a sensible choice of pan. Very heavy.
Great choice for adventuring a bit heavy but clean up would be easy if it was preseasoned of course, but then another question comes to mind which would be best a cast iron cornbread pan a cast iron grill pan or a regular cast iron pan? would grill pans and cornbread pans have adventages over regular cast iron in terms of weaponry? or is the regular pan superior but then what about cast iron woks they are almost like shallow pots they are heavier than nonstick but more shield like I would think
@@jennybrown7834 i think at that point id just wear a pot helmet hybrid. And id cook pizza on my shield
Yeah a cast iron pan would be way, way better than any other type of frying pan for knocking somebody out
Proper halfling adventure gear requires a pot, a pan, a good knife and at least a spoon. Some seasonings can make a huge difference as well but aren't neccessary for survival.
It's best if the pot doubles as a helmet as it can be easier to carry in long dungeon crawls that way. This is vital as boilling water is the best way to purify it without using magic.
The frying pan needs to be forged or cast as a single piece. A general purpose pan is best, unless you have a cart, being able to use it in any cooking or combat instance is best. It doubles as a defensive and offensive weapon if used properly.
The knife needs to be utilitarian capable of butchering and processing game as easily as chopping vegetables, especially potatoes. This is handy as an offensive weapon as it can butcher humanoids to if you know what you're doing.
As for the spoon you need one big enough to assist with cooking and serving food but not too big you can't eat with it. You can survive without a fork but you need a spoon.
That all said I have watched a real world modern soldier use an folding entrenching tool to cook on. The same tool I've seen used as a axe or even, rarely, its intended purpose as a shovel.
I kinda wished he used a cast iron one as well

When you, a heavily armoured knight with a poleaxe, gets killed by the level 100 naked guy with a frying pan

I'm so confused by the poleaxe. A helbard, which doen't sound like anything to do with blades, always has an axe on it. A poleaxe may or may not have one, even though it literally has "axe" in its name. Also, the helbard is generally longer than the poleaxe, even though the poleaxe literally has "pole" in its name. So why is the poleaxe called poleaxe if that name would be way more fitting for the helbard?
Screw it, i'll use a frying pan.

Yeah the one in tangled and such he showed looked to be cast iron. I think he needs to learn the difference.
even a cast iron pan has still the limitations with the surface area. Ok if you hit someone good on the Skull the curvature of the skull will help konzentraiting the force. Also A Cast Iron pan is heavy! You need to train with this thing to swing it for more than 5 seconds!°
Good point, but as others have done I'll bring up the brittleness of Cast Iron. If you brought down a cast iron pan as hard as you could onto someone's face (forget the idea of them wearing a forged steel helmet for a moment), which is going to shatter first, the pan or their skull?
@@rollingthunder1043 probably still the skull, even if bone is hard at least for the first few skulls the pan should be ok. On the other Hand steel Helmets would be a problem... But the exact material is not that easy... some kinds of steel could be suitible, but you need to still be able to use it for cooking without fucking up the hardening...
