“flipping this theoretical 1-centimeter-thick patty”
A one centimeter thick patty?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I also don’t cook 1 centimeter thick burgers in 80 seconds.
100% agree. One....Flip....Only!
Here’s what I’ve been doing lately:
No Flip Smoked Burgers
https://cookinpellets.com/recipes/no-flip-smoked-burgers/
My burgers are ready in 0 seconds ! My butcher grinds chuck/sirloin while I wait and I eat it raw. Yummmmmm.
When I do cook it I hand shape my patties, taking care not to crush the meat together too hard. This tends to keep the juices in the burger. I find that doing a reverse sear, which involves initially cooking the burger over very high heat till you get a nice char and then finishing it off under lower heat works best for me. When done on the grill, let the burger rest for ten minutes or so. The outside will be loaded with that good old grill flavor and the interior will be pink and juicy.
It is a semi-infinite slab. Bounded on one end.
I never yet met a mathematician who could cook worth a damn.
Sorry for the late answer, we’ve been out.
When they are basically done, I put them on the upper rack and put cheese on them for a minute or two, with the lid closed.
Done.😛
My Father-in-law used to cook breakfast on his Weber kettle using oak wood.
Bacon and eggs never tasted better.
His model has the following assumptions:
...an “infinite” slab of meat.. (that is only .394 of an inch thick!)
..cooks continuously on only the bottom side..
..cools on the top until the meat is flipped..
In other words, every single one of his model's assumptions has no resemblance to reality - so his results are completely worthless.
I'll bet he worked on global warming models before he did this.
“A one centimeter thick patty?”
I noticed that too.
This seems to me to be a very inadequate model. Depending on the grilling conditions, the temperature of the air above the top could be significantly higher than ambient and might not necessarily cool the meat the whole time after the flip, particularly if the grill is covered.
Remember the old adage: "All models are inaccurate, though some are useful." I'm not so sure this one is useful.
I usually throw pistachio shells on the fire when grilling. Really adds a nice flavor.
Sweet!
