I have a special one for meatloaf that has a shelf inside to keep the meat out of the grease as it's released. I use mini loaf pans for when I'm making zucchini or that type of breads so I can put the extras in the freezer or give them out as gifts. I'm a single person so can't eat that much at one time and this way I'm also not tempted to. I also have a couple glass ones too so which ever one works for what I'm baking is the one I grab these days. I also have a couple special ones that are by Nordicware and they're much heavier than the regular ones.
