I've got two of these pans. This pan is a MUST for anyone who cooks meatloaf! I've had mine for over 5 years and I've never had a problem with it. It's amazing to see how much grease actually drips to the bottom of the pan. I gave one to a friend who loves meatloaf and was always complaining about all the grease left behind in her old pans. And she LOVES it too.

Great buy....

This product is fantastic -- I tried a Chicago Metallic one (http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Metallic-Duncan-Lo-Fat-Meatloaf/dp/B001CS6XO6/ref=cm_cr-mr-title) and a OvenStuff one ( ). The Chicago Metallic was way too shallow; the OvenStuff one was deeper, but this Nonpro was the deepest, so you end up with a very-close-to-normal-size meatloaf, even though you're using a grease-cutting-insert (which obviously means there has to be space at the bottom). I will say that if I'd only bought the OvenStuff, I would have been totally happy with it b/c it was deeper than the Chicago Metallic and I would have thought this was as deep as you can get with this sort of two-piece "low-fat" meatloaf pan... but, like I said, this Nonpro one is deeper! The only reason I haven't decided which I'm keeping yet, of these two, is because the OvenStuff is made-in-America, and that's important to me. I wouldn't keep it if it was made-in-America and too shallow, but it's not too shallow, it's just not as deep as this Nonpro. Anyway, I hope my review is helpful for others, in spite of my own indecisiveness.

We gave this pan as a gift because we like ours so much.
It's a great reason to have meatloaf - the grease drains away and cleanup is easy.

This is a hefty set - great for making my delicious meatloaf. And when you set the insert aside, you've got a great loaf pan for breads and cakes. I've often made banana bread in this pan, from my own recipe that starts with a box of muffin mix. It's non-stick and easy to clean, too. I still love this set after 10 or 11 years of ownership. I think every cook would be happy with this versatile set for years to come. BTW, my pan has never rusted. Be very gentle when you clean; it only needs a soft touch.

As far as non-sticks go this is THE best loaf pan- the coating amazingly does not flake off. I will never buy anything Wilton's again because their non-stick is horrid and you will likely end up eating it- Norpro, on the other hand, knows what they are doing. This pan rusted for me after just 2 years in the corners and bottom holes. If you live in a humid climate or do not completely dry the pan it WILL rust. Still gets four stars because I'm sure I'm partly to blame for the rust issue.

I am so glad that I purchased this; it is leaps and bounds better than a regular loaf pan. No more holding a spatula against your meatloaf and tipping it upside down to drain the grease, all the while silently praying that your meatloaf doesn't tumble onto the floor. The grease simply drains through the holes into the bottom pan, making your meatloaf healthier and your pan easier to clean. The quality of this pan is solid and will last for years. Other reviewers have mentioned that their pans scratch easily, but I've had mine for 8 or 9 months and haven't had this problem. I go over it with a sponge before putting it in the dishwasher and it's scratch free. Great quality for the price.

After reading customer reviews of several meatloaf pans, I bought this one.
It is absolutely great! Meatloaf is nice and moist, yet excess grease flows down into outer pan to be thrown away. Cleanup is easy, too. I also liked the depth of this pan...1/2 inch deeper than some others.

This is a very handy pan when making meatloaf. The fat gets drained although some are still left at the top and you just have to spoon it off. Good price and I highly recommend it!

Pan held a two-pound meatloaf. Fat was nicely drained. Clean-up was easy. This was a great purchase.

I am very pleased. I received this item without any problems. I have used this item already without much fuss. Now if I could just get the pan to cook and clean for me ;-)
