No, when *you* prepare burgers the only flavor is from your ass, because you
can't keep your hands out of it.

But when most people prepare burgers, the flavor -- as with *all* seared
meat -- comes from the Maillard reaction of browning the meat. But as you
revealed when you bragged about your lackluster beef stew, you just don't
understand the importance of browning. You might as well just steam your
burgers.
