Do you cover meatloaf when cooking?

Yes, you cover meatloaf when cooking. Covering meatloaf when cooking helps to retain moisture and prevent the loaf from drying out. It also helps the meatloaf to cook evenly throughout. You can cover meatloaf with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a lid.

1. During cooking:

Covering meatloaf with foil during cooking helps trap heat and moisture, creating a steaming effect that bastes the meatloaf and keeps it tender and juicy.

2. Uncover towards the end:

Remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes of cooking time to allow the top of the meatloaf to brown. This will give it a nice crust and enhance its flavor.
