Gonna cook burger patties in the frying pan. Google says I should do about 4 minutes on each side at medium high heat (whatever that means, mine says 1-9). Whenever I fry multiple things though, I find the second fucker gets so hot that it burns to a crisp. Why is this? Do I need to clean out the pan for every fry and start over?

It sounds like you need new elements on your stove or you need a better pan that heats evenly.

Turn the heat down for the second batch, it sounds like...

It's probably the grease from the first batch. Just take the pan of the heat and wipe it out thoroughly, let it cool for a minute or so, then you should be good to go.

So I need to remove all of the grease and charred remains? Or just most of it? Wiping it out with water will just make it colder, and presumably need to reheat it again for things to cook at the same rate.

Just a quick wipe with a paper towel will do the trick. I do the same thing to make one-pan blackened chicken alfredo. I pan-sear the chicken first, turn the heat down, wipe out the pan and let it cool for a minute, then pop it back on the low-medium heat to make the sauce.

So medium-high would probably be 6 or 7. If it seems to be cooking too fast, turn it down a little. If it seems to be cooking too slow, turn it up a little. This isn't brain surgery.

Just turn the heat down you idiot

You're too impaitent and putting in your first batch before the stove has reached its peak heat for the setting you turned it to. Be paitent and wait for it to actually get hot before you start cooking.

you're letting a timer tell you when your food is cooked
let your eyes and your mouth be the judge

This. Timers are almost useless.
