Your simplistic ways are your downfall. Why the heck
would I hate a pan?  That's just so silly. I'm an idea
person, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas. I love
new ideas. Using a cast iron pan to cook a burger is
just plain dumb. I don't like that idea at all.

 
 
Having had many burgers cooked in a cast iron pan I can
tell you is not dumb. They are excellent.
 

Ditto, Dave.  I nearly always use a cast iron skillet to
cook burgers.  Excellent heat conduction, great browning,
able to cook them to just your preferred doneness.  A grill
works for that, too.  I'm not sure what "new ideas" dsi1 is
looking for.  It's just hamburgers.

You're wrong about cast iron being an excellent conductor of
heat.  Information about the thermal conduction of metals is
readily available but my guess is that you're not into
scientific tables or science in general. Why do I even bother
with yoose guys?

 
David, most of the talk is about heat retention and how useful
it is.

 
Americans don't cook with heat retention. Hawaiians, on the other
hand, certainly do.

David, mainlanders, especially from the south DEFINATELY cook with
heat retention.  They may not think of it, but they know it,
everytime they select a pan.

 
Of course with David, it's all about Hawaiians.  According to him, no
one anywhere on the mainland knows anything about pans with heat
retention.  For him, it's all about Youtube videos.  As if anyone
actually cooks food in a pit the way that video shows on a regular
basis.  I guarantee you, he doesn't.

Yup.  While at special occasions, Hawaiians will dig a pit in the
backyard, it's things like at a wedding party.  I've seen it and
helped.  Our favirite bartender's daughter got married and asked us to
come over to run the bar for her.  We didn't see the digging or
lowering of the pig but we saw it lifted out and got a taste of it.

I've done plenty of other pit roasts.  Mostly in TX.
