Is the dress black and blue or white and gold? Which way is the dancer turning? Internet users like to debate on the Web on questions which sometimes do not really have answers. But sometimes, there is indeed an answer and yet no one knows it. Indeed, certain everyday objects are made to be used in a certain way.
This is the case, for example, of aluminum foil which has two distinct sides for two different uses. One keeps food hot and the other keeps food cool. And this is also the case for stripes on hamburger steaks! Indeed, hamburger steaks also have two distinct sides. One is flat while the other is striated. And this striated face allows to indicate the cooking direction. And yes, perhaps you have already noticed that these pieces of ground meat sometimes become saturated with liquid during cooking.
