  • Press the meatloaf mix on the parchment paper into a rectangle of around 8” X 7” with even thickness of around 1”.
  • Place cheese slices side-by-side on the meat, close to the side in front of you. Add whole prunes side-by-side on top of the cheese.
  • Fold the meat carefully and tightly around the long edge. With the help of the parchment paper or plastic wrap, form a loaf around 9” long.
  • Unfold the parchment paper. Slide the meat log to the closer part of the parchment paper.
  • Lay the bacon slices tightly so that they are slightly overlapping side-by-side on the paper above the meat log.
  • Place the meat log on top of the closer end of the bacons. Wrap the bacons tightly around the log.
  • Place the meatloaf on the cooking pan with parchment paper in the oven.
  • Insert the temperature probe horizontally to the thickest part of the meatloaf. Try to keep tip of the probe in the meat, not the prunes or cheese.
  • Place the tray to the roast level in the oven.
  • Open the cap on the jack located on the right side of the internal chamber. Insert the probe end into the oven jack
  • Close the door. Select Bake. Probe will be visible on the left-hand side of the control panel with a line underneath indicating it can be set.

  • Touch probe heading again during cooking to monitor the current internal temperature of the food vs. the target internal temperature of the food.
