How To Reheat Meatloaf - 6 Methods Tested
Meatloaf can either make the perfect leftover meal or be a dry, tasteless mess.Lots of the information I found online about reheating meatloaf was rubbish - one website even recommended putting foil in the microwave! I decided that the best thing to do was to try out a bunch of different ways to reheat meatloaf, so I could see for myself what works and what doesn’t. If you want tried and tested information, you’re in the right place.

Equipment
- Damp paper towel
Ingredients
- 1 slice meatloaf
Instructions
- Slice your meatloaf (a whole meatloaf will heat unevenly).
- Place the slices on a microwave-safe plate.
- Cover the slices with a damp towel (unless they are really soggy, in which case skip this step).
- Put the meatloaf into the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals until the meatloaf is piping hot (usually around 1 minute for a single slice).
- Allow your meatloaf to rest for a minute before serving.
Notes
Meatloaf typically gets drier the longer you store it.
The damp paper towel creates steam, which re-moisturizes the meat and keeps it juicy.
An alternative is to drizzle some water or stock over the meatloaf and then cover it with a lid to trap the steam.
Stock can help add some flavor back into the meat.
