Can one actually steam cook a hamburger or is this more delicious upstate NY nonsense like beef on weck?

Steam-cooked hamburgers are a thing in Connecticut, I've heard.

If you could keep that middle bun crispy and good, perhaps with a light air-frying as if it were some kind of bread-patty, would the third bun be a tempting idea? Or is it just a literal fifth wheel in 2bun2burger world?

Frying is cooking in oil. Air-frying does not exist.

I'm not saying that any particular cooking method is better or worse. I'm just saying that communication relies on everyone involved understanding the same words or symbols as meaning the same thing. Hot air cooking is very much a valid method of making food hot and perhaps creating the maillard reacton. But it's not what we've understood "frying" to be, at least not for hundreds of years.

Why change horses mid-stream?

You seem to think the transformation of language is an affront but I think it's the standard. Frying starts out vague enough with both pan-frying and deep-frying variants, then we get into "fries", most of which aren't cooked in oil anymore. Are the convectios now? No. Fry just absorbs new meaning. I fried my brain on that stuff man. The circuit is fried, my scalp is fried, that music is some country-fried corn my friend. If all those iterations count, slightly different sizzling food counts.

No really I agree with you I'm just treading water here. Mayonnaise on a burger, yay or nay?

Mayonnaise on a burger is a disgusting, fattening concept.

So, yay!

I had a burg at a restaurant on Monday. It cost too much and the fries weren't my favourite. I prefer a fast food burg or burg that I made myself to a fancy burg that is too thick. I use the two plate method to get a very thin burg.

I'm not big on fancy burgs or stuffed burgs either, but I do like them nice and rare, so very thin is not my thing.

Where do you stand on mixins? I used to for I am and now am against.

If the middle of the burger is hot enough to melt cheese, it's burned and overcooked and gross.
