Is this pan recommended for baking meatloaf?

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 have used it many times for baking and braising even an higher temps and the pan does great! I have never had a problem with this pan and use is almost daily for just about everything. I have also used on by bbq grill for sauces and veggies. Get this pan, you won't be sorry :)

Yes, by all means, no problem. If you have not purchased this pan yet, you should. It is a great pan, nice and deep, and you will be pleased with how things cook in this pan. I love mine!

Cast iron is not "non-stick" in the sense of Teflon or some "magical" coating. If properly seasoned and oiled when using, it will not stick to the food you are making. They come seasoned from the factory, so using a good non-stick coat of oil will keep your food from sticking. I have made meatloaf and bread in this pan and never had one stick. Also remember you can use a slightly lower heat setting with cast iron because it distributes heat better than other types of metal pans.

I would assume that is where you would put the meatloaf so the fat could drip off. You can also cook baked potatoes in it which turn out great!

I would say no, you want a pan that has a flat smooth bottom, this pan has ridges to create grill marks like on a piece of meat.

I actually just leave the inner pan until it all cools off. You can serve the meatloaf without removing the inner pan.

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.

I do not have this pan. My review was on the Meatloaf pan. You can probobably find the dimensions on RachaelRayStore.com for this pan.

yes, when I made it I used a regular baking pan with no problems. I used cooking spray just to be safe on the pan, though.

Carol, I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. I checked with my brother ( who is an Excutive Chef with the Four Seasons) He said he uses this pan all the time as a roasting pan. I hope this helps.

We have baked with the loaf pan and it was fine. I am fairly sure the others are good to go, too. My grandkids were very happy with this and another similar set we go them.

I've had no problems thus far. I bought this skillet so I could genuinely scour it if I had to cook something likely to stick to nonstick surfaces. I still use a fairly pedestrian nonstick for less demanding applications. This is a very good quality pan - it should resist warping at least as much as any other brand. One thing I value is its ability to handle oven heat.

It would probably be perfect for your purposes. It is an exceptionally well made pan.

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!

Absolutely. I have had this pan for years. It is the best. Makes great cakes. Perfect for cakes that are high. I use Bakers Joy instead of shortening and flour. It is the same thing and you just spray it on. You can find it where they stock PAM.

I wish I could help. I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She uses it frequently for large roasts, but mainly as a lasagna pan. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you.
