Can you make meatloaf without the baking pan?!


Question:

Can you make meatloaf without the baking pan?

Need help


Answers:
Yes. Use the grill pan that seems to come in every oven. Shape your loaf then cover with foil. Cook, but the last 20 minutes take off your foil brush with catsup mixed with some brown sugar and continue cooking. Before putting pan back in oven get rid of the grease that collected in the bottom of the pan.

Yes, you just have to mold it and put it in the oven.

yes, you can make cute little ones in a muffin tin.

Yes, instead of using the loaf pan, you can use a bigger pan and just mound the meat into loaf-shape

no, you must have a pan to catch all the grease as the meat cooks. you can use a bread loaf pan too if you don't have a baking pan.

Yes several wraps of alummin foil. banana leaves,, grape leaves,, got the idea,,, Paper??
Expect a mess with drippy oil...
YES more
a pot a fry pan shape it on a griddle
Mould it into a ball and toss it in the fire
It might some ashes but Heck it will clean you out.

yes-I rolled it into a loaf just last
night and made it on a cookie sheet.
anything works even foil,muffin tin etc.

No, you have to have the meat in a pan of some kind. The fat cooking out of the meat will run all over the inside of your oven. And as any cook knows, animal fat grease is flammable, could cause a fire.

I make mine in a 9x13 pan all the time. Place meatloaf mixture in the pan...in the middle make a hole the size of a regular coffee cup. It makes a wonderful meatloaf and in my opinion it cooks so much faster.

I have made this one off Good Eats except I molded mine by hand.

Good Eats Meat Loaf Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown

6 ounces garlic-flavored croutons
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
1 carrot, peeled and broken
3 whole cloves garlic
1/2 red bell pepper
18 ounces ground chuck
18 ounces ground sirloin
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 egg
For the glaze:
1/2 cup catsup
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon honey

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed. Combine the vegetable mixture, ground sirloin, and ground chuck with the bread crumb mixture. Season the meat mixture with the kosher salt. Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.
Pack this mixture into a 10-inch loaf pan to mold the shape of the meatloaf. Onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, turn the meatloaf out of the pan onto the center of the tray. Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.
Combine the catsup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and honey. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.
