I live in Iowa and purchased mine at a Family Dollar store...works great. Be sure to spray the pan with a baking spray to make clean up easier!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that fat is not really bad for you. It's the sugar that is causing all the trouble. And sugar is in almost everything, including catchup and marinara sauce. Eating sugar just makes you hungry again, and you go for more sugar. Eat some fat and you feel full faster, and can walk away from the sugar.

The best fats to eat are natural fats, as in butter, meat fat (lard) and coconut oil. It takes the medical profession a long, long time to catch up with the fact that they were wrong to tell people to not eat fat, and forget that the sugar is what is making people fat.

Eating fat does not make you fat.

My daughter and I both love this pan but haven't seen it in a while. You can take a wire rack, like a cookie cooling rack, cover it with foil, punch holes in the foil to help with draining the grease down under the wire rack onto a cookie sheet or baking pan. Same effects. You can shape it close enough into a loaf shape. Or shape it in the loaf pan and then partially freeze it and pop it out and put it onto rack. Depends on if you have to have the perfect shape or not

Sugar might be helping making people fat but the fat is the problems with high cholestrol and blocked arteries. I follow the South Beach Diet, low carbs, low fat and high proteins. I'm 60 and my cholestrol stays below 120 total, my sugar is perfect and my blood pressure is low. this comes from a family that has been plaqued with diabetas (all of my sisters and most family members have it) along with hig cholestrol and high blood pressure. I'm not a person that doesn't stray, when I want a soda, I drink the one with sugar, its so much better than when I had aspartame posioning and was constanly ending up in the er getting shot up with pain killers and then taking 2 more weeks to get up enough strength to go back to work full time. Gave up aspartame in Feb 2008 and havn't had the same related er visit since.

all of us have different health issues and none of us can say what's good for the other. That's for the doctors to say

I own the Williams Sonoma meatloaf pans and use them all the time. They really work. I usually make 2 at a time, one for dinner & one to freeze for later in the seal a meal bags.

Have you tried Bed, Bath and Beyond ?

You can also shape the meatloaf and put it on a roaster pan, like the one that came with your stove or on a rack in a roasting pan. This makes the meatloaf brown on all sides and the drippings are in the bottom of the roaster.

I've seen them at Walmart stores

WalMart or Target - had mine for several years now but unless you buy a lower fat content ground meat you will get a lot of fat rendered off and the meatloaf will end up sitting in the fat anyway. I generally use ground turkey and use cooked rice as my filler instead of breadcrumbs.

thank you all for your comments , I shall surely look where you have suggested/ My main goal is to lower fat intake for cholestrol problems, Had open heart surgery this fall, and now am aware of some of the dietary changes I need to make. also, I agree with the person who mentions sugar, as I am diabetic... again, thanks much.

Place 2 pieces of bread in pan then place meat loaf on top bread will soak up the grease. Just discard bread after loaf is cooked. Hope this helps.
