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.

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.

Adding to the list: chicken or fish cooked in skillet.  Fried
potatoes, any number of vegetables.  Heat retention is important in
cooking no matter what culture.  Imagine cooking food in a cheap-ass
wok that can't hold the heat for a stir-fry.

 I suspect the fish would really matter if cooked in some oil.  You need
the heat to get a good crispy result.
 Either way, David is trying to change subject.  Dave says 'pulling a
Sheldon'.

Actually, I'm the one who said he's sounding like the new Sheldon, who always scoffed at cast iron cookware.  This is typical David: "Americans don't cook with heat retention.  Hawaiians, on the other hand, certainly do".  Then posts a youtube link showing people cooking food in a huge pit dug in the ground, as though Hawaiians cook their everyday food in pits all the time.
