I got to the thing about how searing meat doesn't seal in moisture, which I don't understand because I have witnessed first hand how it in fact does. If I don't sear my hamburgers on the pan there is juice eeeeeverywhere. And in fact I once seared it so well that when i bit into it after cooking, it made the bun so wet that I wish I hadn't.

That's how we do our steaks, burgers, chicken at work. Sear them, then put them on the grill. Good and juicy.

How so? If I sear my hamburgers, there is more moisture inside and less on the pan, I've done it countless times. I'm reminded of this every time I get ancy and flip it too early and turn the heat down.

But have you seared one steak on a high heat, cooked another on a low heat, and then weighed both?
