    Hamburger, High surface area

    Explanation:

    The higher the surface area, the higher is the heat absorption. With this logic, a sphere has a low surface-to-volume ratio while a cube or cuboid has a large surface-to-volume ratio comparatively and hence cuboid must absorb more heat.

    A hamburger is more or less like a shape of cuboid while meat balls are of shape of sphere. Thus keeping all conditions constant i. e constant weight, volume and temperature of cooking, it is the hamburger that will cook the fastest due to high surface area.
