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.

He already told you - fast-heating pans accomplish the same end without being heavy enough to break a foot.
