Bought the pan and love it! Anybody used it for anything else? Would really like to use it for other things, maybe meatloaf?

I have used it for brownies - EXCELLENT! It's been used for breads, meat loaf and hot pasta dishes. I love this pan!

Totally use it for all sorts of things - tend to have to cook for shorter time. Meatloaf would be an awesome idea! We bake with whole grains and sometimes a cake doesn't bake though very well. I have used the pan for carrot cake, chocolate cake, lasagna, brownies, zucchini tacos, layered casseroles...

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.

Gosh, I don't know why not. I treat it the same as I do my other metal pans, not worrying about using metal utensils and I don't see any damage on the pan! It hasn't complained, but then I haven't asked. Kidding aside, I see no problems and I use it all the time.

Yes, I would buy this pan again and again (even as a gift). I have had it for a while (months). I use it every day, especially at breakfast, instead of using a pan from my more expensive sets. This pan distributes very evenly and the monogrammed non-stick coating is the absolute best in my opinion. A quick wipe with paper towels over the trash can while still warm makes a perfect cleanup.

I don't know how it can be used because they never sent it to me. I wrote to them several times but still no pan. I finally bought a ceramic pan, and it is superb!

Sorry Benjamin, I don't use this pan for making bread, only for meatloaf. As for the dough, the weight would depend on the particular mixture that you're using, especially how much yeast, allowing for the bread to rise. I can say that this pan WILL work quite well for bread as long as the dough is not too moist. A dusting of flour will allow the loaf to drop right out once it's cooled. This pan will make an average size loaf of bread like you would buy in the store.

Sorry arol, I have as of yet to use my microhearth grill pan, would also like answers to a few questions myself, like hoe to cook steaks rare, also how to cook pork chops and burgers so if you or anyone else receives the answers to these questions I would appreciate you letting me know, Thanks

You don't see recent reviews because the people that have one are too busy feeding people to take the time to review the Cuisinart CSK 150. I under used it this past Saturday, fixing French toast to order for breakfast for ten. Had already fried the bacon and sausage. This pan is great, every time I use it somebody will ask, "where did you get that great pan". Some AM's it might be bacon and potatoes at the same time! Some nights its just dinner for two, pork medallions with mushrooms!! Also cleans up very easily. Happy cooking!

I have -- more than once! It worked beautifully. A part of using a pan like this well, I think, is knowing not only the properties of the pan, but the habits of your oven. I use a sort of tired electric stove, and instead of pre-heating oven and pan, I usually oil well, put a little extra flour in the pan before putting the dough in, and let the oven and pan slowly heat together. That means I do end up cooking the bread for, say, closer to 40 minutes than 30, but the results have been delicious. The lid does a good job of helping the crust balance crispness and moisture. One thing to note: the dome on the lid is rather flat, so if your risen dough (even after punching down) does a really BIG second rise while it's cooking, it is going to bump against the lid. The one time that happened to me, it just meant the top was a little indented rather than really round, which doesn't bother me. In any case, it's cooked evenly and tasted great every time I've done it. I'm about to cook a couple of loaves to take with me for the holidays, in fact. :)

Yes this pan is perfect for this.I have used mine in very hot ovens. 550F.Make sure your exhaust works.

I have used the pan to make an okra roux for a pot of gumbo. I have also used it for a large roasting pan in the oven. My wife has roasted veggies and I have used it for a turkey.

I've done gooey pizza on it. The non-stick is excellent and an easy release. If you want to see if meatloaf will work on it, test a hamburger size of the prepared meat on the pan. If that gets stuck in the holes, you know the meatloaf won't work. I have a feeling you'll find the non-stick is forgiving.

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

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.

Yes, you can certainly make meatloaf in silicone pans. I usually don't because the grease sinks to the bottom and it has nowhere to go. Other than that, nothing sticks in the silicone and it's so easy to clean.

I have not found specific cookbooks for this but also had not thought to look for one yet. Good idea! I will say that I use this grill pan nearly every time I cook now. I use it primarily on the stove top. I have a gas range and use it now to brown and sear meats rather than using a frying pan. It is the first pan I reach for. I have used it for chicken and steaks right on the stove, even grilled sandwiches. I am very happy with the purchase. I wash it after use, then put it on the flame to dry it completely. Once cooled, I use a spray cooking oil such as Pam to keep the pan seasoned. Hope this helps while you are looking for a cookbook to go with this.

I've never used it for that purpose, but I think it would do fine. It's a great, versatile pan!
