I have made meatloaf in the pan using 2 1/2 pounds of meat( 1 lb. of ground beef, 1 lb. of ground lamb, and 1/2 lb. of liver).

My recipe calls for 1 1/2 lbs and it is perfect. You could probably do 1 3/4.

It is designed for 2pounds and works well with that amount. I have used it for 1 to 1 1/2 lb by shaping smaller loafs and centering them in pan (space around the edges). More fat drains off when there is little space beteen the loaf an the sides of the pan

By comparison with other items' weight I can approximate just about 5 lbs., given the pan's mass density.

About 4 1/2 pounds. This really works good for bacon, burgers, ect. You will love it.

I make a 2 and 1/2 pound recipe and divide it up between 2 of these pans. If you have a bread maker machine, their recipes usually show the size in pound of the loaf you will be making.

I just cooked a bit more than 7.5 lbs of meat yesterday and there was room for a bit more (maybe 1 more lb).

This is a 2 lb loaf pan; the recipe I use calls for 4 3/4 c of flour. Hope that helps!

Haven't made a meatloaf yet but my guess is you could fit 2 side-by-side @ about 1 lb each, or 1 at about 1-1/2 lbs. Since the baking pan is 8" by 8" the number of sweet potatoes depends on their length and width. I would say 3-4.

I have the 12-inch, and it isn't as heavy as an All-Clad, so that leaves it as a medium-weight, relative to other pans. Of significance though, is the handle, which by its design, makes this a well-balanced pan, so in any size, the pan wouldn't "feel" heavy.

A little. I overfill a little then trim before inverting. They are wonderful heavy pans. No sticking problem ever.

All my recipes are different but, most of them (using 5-6 cups flour) make 2 nice loaves in these 1.5 lb. pans. I prefer bigger loaves for sandwich making.

I baked some Tandori chicken in it at 475 and it left burn marks on the pan that I am unable to remove. So I say keep it below 450.

i have used the 1 lb settings when doing 2-1 lb loaves. Has come out perfectly.

I just put a little olive oil and sauce along the sides and bottom. When I use it to. Make meat loaves i do grease it. Just love this pan!

The 8 inch pan weighs a bit over one pound without the lid; a little over 2 pounds with the lid. Very light. My husband almost flipped the eggs over his shoulder the first time he used it. :)

If you don't like heavy pans, look for something else. Without the lid I estimate this pans weighs something close to 2.5 lbs. Most of the weight is in the handle and with the added weight of the lid and what ever it is you're preparing, this pan can be quite a handful. Other than the weight issue these pans have performed fantastically and I love cooking with them!

Kenny, I haven't tried bacon yet but intend to. I think the grease tray would be able to handle about half a pound of bacon but you must allow the grease to cool completely because it might slop over the sides lifting it out of the appliance.I usualy cook bacon in a fairly hot oven pouring off the grease half way along and watching the meat fairly closely til it is done to my taste which is crispy.

I have only tried it up to 400 - these are very good, heavy weight, chef quality sheet pans. Well worth the great price.
