I find the secret to a great burger

is to pack the meat loosely and cook it off the heat a little. That still gives it a good seer, but doesn't burn the meat. If you only flip the burger once, you can never dry the meat out and gives you the best results. The more you flip it, the drier it becomes.

As a final touch, before you pull the burger off the grill (charcoal, of course), put a slice of swiss cheese on it and close the lid. It will actually give the cheese a smokey flavor that's pretty awesome.

I will have to try your method. What do you put in your burgers? I keep it simple. Kosher salt. Pepper. Just a dash of L&P. I prefer White Vermont Cheddar.

Same as you. Simple is better. I season mine with some L&P, Kosher Salt, fresh pepper, and a little garlic powder.

Some people mix their burgers with crackers and an egg, but I like to taste the meat. I also cook mine no more than medium... but that's just me.

I'll have to try the chedder. That sounds like it would be just as good as swiss.

True. And I remember taking "Bonehead Thermodynamics"...

3 is easily the hardest one.

...It was the easier of the two versions of thermodynamics (____ engineering version vs the chemical engineering version).

Like either version is easy.

Use your thumb or a spoon to put a small dent in the middle of each side of your burger to keep it from shrinking.

Do you mean shrinking horizontally? Mine always seem to do that. I've never heard of putting a dent in the meat. I'll have to try that.

I like Greek burger now and then. Beef, minced garlic, green olives, feta cheese mixed together. Served with hummus.

If Cal had a son named Cal and he went to Cal for school which Cal class should Cal tell his son Cal to avoid at Cal?

Damn it's amazing how much better draught beer is compared to bottled. Sam Adams Winter is pretty good on a cold night.

Growlers...do you have to drink them all at once or can they keep a while after being opened?

Just now realizing it, but i accidentally started an IM thread lol.

MS state has 4 calculus classes at 3 hours each, the ut system has 3 calculus classes at 4 hours each. Im not sure how that translates lol. Just glad to be done with it. Now on to dynamics.

And before I get called a plant or sidewalk fan, I've actually attended Ms state, just will not have that on my paperwork when i graduate

Dynamics...not that hard. I learned it in one week for the FE exam.

I've heard mixed reviews lol. I'm going to go in with zero expectations and take it for what it is. I enjoyed statics, it was very intuitive to me. It would be nice if dynamics is too.

all at once is best. after about 48 hours (Maybe less) there is a pretty big drop off

Yes, just a small dent works wonders. I used to make gigantic burgers on the grill so when they shrank they'd be bun size. Now I just put a normal size patty on the grill and it comes out right.

A long time ago, we (MSU) in engineering had 3 calculus classes ... 3 hour, 5 hour, and 3 hour. And then there was another one called Advanced Mathematics for Engineering ... a 4th 3 hour calculus class. A total of 14 hours. After that was Differential Equations. It took 144 hours to graduate.

the engineering dept. here has its own D.E. and Linear. From what i'm told its more application based than the theory based D.E. the math dept. has

And all of that with an abacus...amazing. So much math in engineering...

I had the same math schedule in Electrical Engineering. I remember the required math for engineering being one course short of a minor in math.

144 total hours sounds about right. Of course, I liked school so much, I finished at State with either 230 or 240 hours (5 years, 2 bachelor degrees), then went on to grad school.

Yeah, an abacus initially, but the slide rule became the norm before I graduated. It's amazing what one can do with those tools. They'd smoke sometimes.

I went to grad school elsewhere (Alabama, no less ... then Michigan).

I assume you continued on to med school somewhere? I had an acquaintance who got a EE degree, then went to med school. No way you could be the same person ....

Slide rules..

Heh, I was going to mention the slide rule in my post. My Dad had always used one and showed me how to use it. Thankfully calculators were developed when I was a kid, so I had them in HS/college.

I don't think that person is me, as I took a much more roundabout way here---5 years at MSU (2 bachelors), then 2 yrs grad school, then I actually worked for 3 years at a real job, then I quit to go back to school to try for med school. 1 1/2 yrs of pre-med, then 8 yrs of med school/residency.
