Recently I purchased a George Foreman Compact Roasting machine and I'm wondering if a meat loaf could be cooked in one. The store I went to has the meat loafs all ready made up, and all you have to do is put it in the oven for 90 minutes or so. Here is a URL to the type of machine I have. Once you look at it, let me know if you think it will do the job or if I should just bake it. I will say this: it makes the best roasted chicken! Go here:

I don't own the roaster, but I would think that baking a meatloaf in it would work fine. Also, does a recipe book come with the unit? That might give you a clue as to types of foods to roast. Take a chance and test it - then let us know if you liked it. Good luck!

------------------------------ Is it a rotisserie? And if so, how do you keep it from falling off? Some sort of basket press that holds it together? Nancree

Dora, I went ahead and tried it and it turned out wonderfully! I really like this GF Roaster. Yes, it does come with a recipe book, but it is not that good. Also, I finally bought a food thermometer and when I put it in the meat load, near the end of the cooking time, it said 190 degrees, so I knew it was cooking well.

No, it is not a rotisserie. Check out the link in my initial post and you can see what it looks like.

Great, Mark - I'm glad it turned out well. Yes, I have a large George Foreman grill and the included recipe book is lousy. I suppose you're supposed to spend more and buy the GF recipe book! I'm puzzled, though - 190 degrees sounds awfully high - was the meatloaf dry? Try 160 the next time.

I looked at the thermometer and it actually was at the 180 degree mark. I thought, without my glasses, it said 190. Also, it was not dry. Quite tasty and thank God for that!
