Can I cook a meatloaf in a roaster oven?

Answer 1

Yes you can. I would suggest putting your meat loaf in a shallow disposable aluminum pan and set the pan on the grill in your roaster oven and let it bake. Makes a delicious meatloaf.

Cooking In A Roaster Oven

Answer 4

Yep, you sure can. I do it all the time and it turns out great every time. I use a glass baking dish inside the roaster and put a little bit of water in the bottom of the roaster (it keeps everything moist). One of the benefits of using the roaster oven is that it doesn't heat up the house like a regular oven. You can even set it outside to make more room in the kitchen if you're cooking a big meal for a lot of people.

Answer 5

Buy lean or extra lean ground meat. The trouble with this is that your meatloaf is often dry. I just made one yesterday with regular ground beef and altho there was a lot of grease in the pan when it was done It wasn't greasy after I lifted it out. But you won't have that problem with lean meat. But don't count on having drippings to make gravy because there very well might not be any.

Meatloaf has long been a standard main dish in America, and according to John Mariani in "Encyclopedia of American Food And Drink," was first seen in print as early as 1899. For many, meat loaf is an ultimate comfort food, bringing back pleasant childhood memories of family meals.
There are many ways to cut the calories and enhance the flavor of ordinary meatloaf, from tasty additions to spicy toppings. Ground round is a great choice if you're using beef for your meatloaf, since excess fat in fattier ground meats is absorbed by breadcrumbs. Use soft bread crumbs in place of dry for a moister meatloaf, or substitute grated potato or carrots for a portion of the meat, which will also eliminate some of the calories.
Baking the meatloaf on a rack will keep it out of the fatty drippings. Sharon Tyler Herbst, author of "The Food Lover's Tiptionary," describes a method for making your own meat loaf pan by piercing holes in an inexpensive loaf pan then setting it on a rack in a larger baking pan.
