Does this pan actually cook the meatloaf out of the grease? Or does it just allow the grease to drain away when you lift out the insert? I guess what I'm asking is -- is there a space between the bottom of the pan and the insert?

Yes but a small space. Trust me you will be happy. I recommend trying the classic meatloaf recipe with venison. It is delicious!

Grease will get hung up in it. It not made for that purpose .......also it will take out too much air out of the kitchen .......will cause negative air pressure

Preheat oven to 350 F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hrs at same temperature; when done lift the insert and you have a fat free meatloaf. I love that pan.

Hmm never really thought about that if you got a good seal on the top patty and started cooking it from the bottom before you flipped it you should be ok. I will tell you this I have had cheese leak out because I didn't get a good seal between the patty and the bottom. Also I have used this about 10 times and it does take almost a pound of burger to make one burger patty and I have cooked all of mine in the oven at 350 for about an hour doesn't dry out and one is very filling lol

Tthere is a drain on both ends, lengthwise. There is no catch, the grease drains down into the grill and is caught in the drip tray.

The grill is great. Chicken, pork, steak, sausages, burgers get crusty on top, juicy in the middle. I don't use a lid. I cook under the exhaust hood in my kitchen. Clean up is easy. Very little fat splatter away from the grill.

I have not had to grease mine. I love this pan and have used it several time for things other than muffins.

I wouldn't do it, because there are seams in the corners that the juices would get into and I wouldn't like not being able to thoroughly clean the meat residue out, especially if I planned to use the pans for other baking. I think a pan without seams would be better for meatloaf.

I bought the pan to use with my grill. I have only cooked meatloaf on the grill with the Loaf Pan. for that it works very well. I can strongly recommend mesquite smoked grilled meatloaf sandwiches on Kaiser rolls. as far as rust goes, re-seasoning the pan will help. Also for cleaning use a stainless steel chain mail cast iron cleaner - available on amazon.

No. This is to use in the oven inside a baking sheet. It stops your food from sitting in grease while it cook. It's hard to clean after.

Jason, I never have used it because it is just too big for the amount of bacon grease I collect. Sorry.

I have only used it for breads; however, I do intend to eventually try to use the pan for a meatloaf. I do not see why it would not work for a meatloaf.

Yes you can just be careful how much you fill it. While meatloaf won't rise like a cake it will have juices that might overflow if you fill the pan too high. I recommend putting a cookie sheet lined with foil on the bottom rack of your oven as a precaution.

The holes are outside the grilling surface, just for hanging I would guess. If you are cooking something that puts off a lot of grease, the grease would overflow anywhere it got too deep.

I have not had any problems with grease clogging. I burn mine full tilt after I cook for about 10 minutes, don't forget it. That should take care of the grease.Don't try to clean it while its hot, scrapes the coating off of the grill.

Marianna the outside pan is approximately 4 inches deep & inside pan is 3 inches deep. It will make a 2lb meatloaf and keep the fat away from the meat. It is also easy to clean if you spray the inside pan 1st w/pam

It hasn't yet and I have made meatloaf several times and loaf cakes. You just have to be very careful when you remove it from the oven as it is not stable. But I still love it because it is so easy to clean and the ridges in the bottom keep the meatloaf from sitting in the grease from the meat.
