You misunderstand the amounts of fat involved. A 1/2 pound patty that is 20% fat is 1.6 ounces of fat. A light spray of canola oil on either side of the patty adds a negligible amount of fat. A small pat of butter (less than 1/8" thick) adds a tiny amount of fat but butter also has water in it AND especially…

Excellent point and I absolutely love cheese stuffed burgers. They can leak, fall apart or drip into the fire... but when done right they are soooo tastey.

A light spray of canola oil on both sides of the burger adds a negligible amount of fat and calories to the burger. If you read the nutrition label on the canola spray and yes, you’re absolutely correct that the canola oil is a better kind of fat healt-wise than the fat in the meat. Butter isn’t much better, but I’m…

If you are going to put salt in your meat, don’t let the meat sit for very long. Salt takes time to extract significant amounts of moisture from the meat. So if you form your patties, with salt included in the meat, and cook them right up, you’ll lose a negligible amount of moisture. I agree with you that I’m…

Now I know you were just trolling my last post. If you understand the Maillard reaction, then you must understand that to do it right and without sticking on a grill you need a bit of fat. Using lean meat lets me choose exactly how much fat is used, where it is placed and add additional flavor. I don’t need 20% fat…

No. There are reasons for it. The canola oil helps prevent sticking. It’s a light spray, adding a negligible amount of fat (literally, read the label... a quick spray adds hardly anything, but it puts the fat on the surface where I want it, not inside the meat.) Butter adds flavor, adds moisture (because butter is…

I use lean meat all the time. My burgers don’t come out dry. I give them a light spray of canola oil before putting them down and I hit them with Worcestershire sauce before flipping, another light spray of canola oil, and then a pat of butter after flipping. I cook them to 145 degrees. My burgers don’t shrink as…

I came here to say just that. I can confirm a pat of butter is indeed the ideal solution. Just don’t make it too big to avoid flareups. I made steak burgers last week. After flipping them I put the pat of butter on. They came out great!

Or you could just carry around one of these. People might look at you funny. Just tell them it’s your spare key:

My honest answer is: Off the top of my head, I don’t know what my greatest weakness is. I do try to pay attention to my mistakes or less-than-stellar outcomes to identify ways I can try to improve. I don’t dwell on this topic for long periods of time though, so this is more of an ongoing introspective process than a…

They were letting you know which one was their favorite... Stop flying with interesting looking stuff and they’ll stop opening up your baggage to check out all your cool shit.

I had to give you your 1235th star because 1234 was just too perfect.

Did they at least get whole home music playback working?

You know what, asshole, I was okay with my grandparents being dead but when you wrote it like that: DEAD you reminded me that my dad is DEAD. Fuck you! Where was YOUR trigger warning, huh? /s

I have the Echo. If I get the dot, can I set an alarm in one location and have it go off in another location or at least all locations? (Example: I put a Dot in the bedroom and I set an alarm for an hour, but then I go hang out in the living room... will the bedroom Dot be the only one that goes off or do they all…

I wish I could give this comment all the stars.

Only if you chase milk with whiskey first...

Negan’s brutal and overly graphic entrance onto the show basically eliminated my wife’s interest in the show. I still want to see what happens next, but I can understand where she’s coming from. The way the scenes were written and especially what they showed was a huge turn off to a number of people who didn’t need…

I’m pretty sure every shit after sewing your asshole shut would be intense, but maybe that’s just my imagination.

No, no no. I no pokey anything while I poop. No, no no no nooooo.
