great for so many things, but also for mixing meatloaf. no dishes to wash and no greasy hands! i've always put an egg in my meatloaf, makes it moister. another trick is mashing up some tofu and adding it to the recipe. it blends right into the ground meat and seriously, you cannot taste it. i've been wanting to try adding ground flax seeds also.
