how long deo you cook a 3 pound meatloaf. It depends on what kind of container you're cooking it in. The thicker the meatloaf (i.e. cooked in a breadpan), the longer the cooking times. If you're cooking a 3-lb. loaf, I recommend using something larger than a standard baking pan....something like a lasagne baking pan.That way, the cooking time will be reduced. If you do this, it should be ready in an hour at 375.1  In a meat loaf pan-A good rule seems to be 1/2 hour per pound. 2  Then letting it sit for 10 minutes before slicing it. 3  Make your gravy while the meatloaf sets.hat way, the cooking time will be reduced.

The refrigerator: how long will foods remain safe without power? Â· All foods: at least 4 hours, if the fridge is left unopened. Â· Discard after 4 hours without power: Meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs, cooked leftovers, soft cheeses, deli cold cuts/salads and other perishable foods.
What to do about your food if the POWER goes out! Do not open the refrigerator or freezer. Tell your little ones not to open the door. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods safely cold. for about 4 hours. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours, 24 hours if it is half full. If it looks like the power. outage will be for more than 2-4 hours, pack refrigerated food items such as milk, dairy products, meats, eggs, and left-overs into a. cooler surrounded by ice. Try to obtain block or dry ice to keep your refrigerator as cold as possible. If it looks like the power. outage will last for several days, 50 pound of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic foot full freezer for 2 days. Plan ahead and know where. you can buy block ice or dry ice.
