If you're looking for the best meatloaf pan, you've come to the right place. I'm about to share some real winners when it comes to meatloaf pans with you today.
These pans make cooking meatloaf incredibly easy from start to finish, and they're high quality, to boot. It's a combination that I love and that I think anyone who loves cooking will appreciate.
The Best Meatloaf Pan Ever
I have two picks here for my absolute favorite meatloaf pans. Each of them is similar, reasonably priced and makes for a fantastic finished product. I use them both all the time, and they've never let me down.
If must choose a favorite however, I choose the Chicago 2-Piece Meatloaf Pan below by a very small margin. It's a bit easier to slide the meatloaf out of it and that is the only difference.
Chicago 2-Piece Meatloaf Pan
This is hands down my favorite pan to make my favorite BBQ meatloaf and is also the pan shown in my YouTube video making my favorite meatloaf!
The Chicago Metallic Non-Stick 2-Piece Healthy Meatloaf Set, Grey is absolutely the best meatloaf pan I've ever used. It has a nonstick coating, which is always great when it comes to making something like meatloaf. I don't even have to grease the pan.
In addition, this pan is made of heavy-weight aluminized steel, so it's incredibly durable and conducts heat very well. As all we cooks know, a pan the conducts heat well cooks evenly, and that's key for a dish like meatloaf.
This pan can make a meatloaf of up to 2 pounds, and it features a perforated elevated lifter. That means you can simply pull the meatloaf right out of the pan and slide it on to a serving plate. There's no more tilting to drain of the grease and no more sliding a spatula awkwardly into the pan to try to get the meatloaf out.
All in all, this pan makes making meatloaf a breeze.
The Runner Up (Close Second Place)
Anolon Advanced Nonstick Double-Duty Bakepan
The Anolon Advanced Nonstick Bakeware Meatloaf/Loaf Pan Set with Grips and Insert, 2 Piece, Gray is another one of my picks for the best meatloaf pan.
This double-duty bakepan set is ideal for cooking both bread and meatloaf. It's made of heavy gauge steel, so it's resistant to warping, and it conducts heat well.
Its nonstick surface makes it easy to bake bread or cook meatloaf without worrying about half of your food staying in the pan.
In addition, it features rugged grips on the side to ensure a good hold every time you remove it from the oven. It also has a perforated insert for easy removal of the meatloaf, leaving the grease in the pan where you want it.
The only difference is that you can't slide the meatloaf on top of your serving plate like the first meatloaf pan.
Honestly, you couldn't go wrong with either pan but my first choice ultimately belongs with the Chicago 2 piece pan shown at the top of this post.

If you're looking for a meatloaf pan that can stand up to frequent use and that makes life so much easier, overall, either of these pans is perfect for you. They both feature nonstick coating, heavy-duty construction, and a convenient perforated insert that makes it easy to remove the meatloaf with no hassle. They're both excellent pans, and I couldn't recommend them more, especially to meatloaf lovers like myself.

Too bad that the Chicago 2-Piece Meatloaf Pan doesn’t have a good grip on the bottom pan, actually it doesn’t have a grip at all!

I had to sacrifice grip for quality of cooking. You’re correct it doesn’t have as good a grip but it cooks better and it’s so easy to get meatloaf out of pan. I used them both and figured an amazing end result was better. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Do you agree with me? All the best. Karin
