What causes ground beef patties to shrink while cooking?

IIIIIIIII :: MORAN'S :: IIIIIIIII
All meat will shrink in size and weight during cooking. The amount of shrinkage will depend on its fat and moisture content, the temperature at which the meat is cooked, and how long it is cooked. Basically, the higher the cooking temperature, the greater the shrinkage. Cooking ground beef at moderate temperatures will reduce shrinkage and help retain juices and flavor. Overcooking draws out more fat and juices from ground beef, resulting in a dry, less tasty product.

Growers typically either screw them far enough into the ground so that approximately 8-10 inches of the anchor rod are sticking out of the ground or they screw them completely into the ground, leaving the anchor eye at or slightly below ground level. By leaving 8-10 inches out of the ground, the anchor can be easily spotted thus avoiding damage to machinery and the anchor itself. By putting the eye of the anchor at or below ground level, most potential damage to machinery can be avoided.
