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

always on the lookout for new ideas. I love new ideas.

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.

Americans don't cook with heat retention. Hawaiians, on the

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.

I cook those things too. Most people do. You can't cook these things
without special heat retaining pans? Yoose people are delusional. I am
the king of pineapple upside down cake, and pancakes too.

Point is they are BETTER.  How about pizza still piping hot at the

your other cast iron pan over and use as trivet).

There is a reason that cast iron is not a pizza restaurant standard
dear.

 The Southern people have some wacky ideas about pizza. The pizza is
taken out of a blazing hot oven and laid out on aluminum pans and served
immediately. There is no cooking after it comes out of the oven. The pan
is not hot. The pizza is hot and it's spewing all sorts of heat into the
room. You only have a few minutes to enjoy the pie.

It is a bafflement, of course a Chicago or Detroit deep dish pie stays in a heated tray pan.

I suppose some
places could serve it on a heated cast iron pan but that's just the
South for you. I used to be into pizza - in fact, "pizza" is my middle
name. The idea of cooking a pizza at the table is not something that I
practice or condone.

Amen.

I have had steaks served on a heated cast iron platter. It's not really
about cooking with retained heat. It's all about show biz and putting on
a show for the room. Mostly, it's just a gimmick.
