Reheating meatloaf in the air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy your leftovers with a deliciously crispy exterior and a juicy interior. Follow these simple steps to reheat your meatloaf to perfection.
Ingredients
2Leftover meatloaf slices
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that the air fryer is hot and ready for reheating.
Arrange the Slices: Place the leftover meatloaf slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even reheating.
Reheat: Set the air fryer to reheat the meatloaf at 350°F (175°C) for 4-6 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your meatloaf slices and the air fryer model you're using.
Check Temperature: After a few minutes, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's safely reheated.
Optional: Add Sauce or Gravy: If desired, you can add a small amount of sauce or gravy over the meatloaf slices before reheating. This helps keep them moist and adds extra flavor.
Serve: Once the meatloaf reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Serve your reheated meatloaf slices with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!

Notes
Notes:
Make sure to monitor the reheating process closely, especially toward the end, to avoid overcooking and drying out the meatloaf.
If you're reheating a whole meatloaf, consider slicing it into individual portions for more even reheating.
The timing mentioned is approximate, so adjust it based on your specific air fryer and the thickness of your meatloaf slices.
