I have found that one way to prevent meat loaf fats from settling on the bottom of your loaf pan is to place a piece of bread on the bottom. The meat loaf is not only easier to remove, but once the bread is removed your loaf is a little less fat-laden.

Archived on 02/03/2009
When baking a meatloaf, place a piece of bread under it to absorb the hamburger fat and keep it from sticking to the pan. Throw away the bread when finished.

RE: Use Bread To Absorb Meatloaf Grease
That is a great idea! I have always wondered how to avoid that grease and the soggy stuff around the bottom of the loaf! Thanks! (10/10/2007)
What a great tip! I have been making meat loaf for 30 years and never have thought of using bread in the pan. Dogs would probably love eating the grease-soaked bread, too. Thank you for posting, Momof1. (04/10/2008)
