Your simplistic ways are your downfall. Why the heck would I

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

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.

 
Name one dish.

That shows your ignorance of it.  You've completely ignored every
person here but you who've been telling you all the dishes where it is
a critical element that makes it 'just right'.  From steaks and
hamburgers to cornbread served still hot enough to melt butter yet out
of the oven for 20 minutes or more.  Ask Graham about boules and cast
iron dutch oven results vice freeform (both are good).
