The only way to determine the internal temperature of meat is to plunge an

accurate meat thermometer, rapier-like, deep into the flesh, then allow the

thermometer to achieve thermal equilibrium, and read its display before

withdrawing it.

I think the point of this whole exercise, if it has one, is to emphasize that the

external temperature of cooked meat reveals nothing about its internal state.

What is the correct internal temperature of cooked meatloaf?

For the meat to be properly cooked the internal temperature should be a minimum of 165°, preferably 170°, for 5 minutes. Set your thermometer alarm for 165°, and when it goes off, remove the meat loaf from the 325° oven. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. The temperature will raise another 5° while resting. Also, the juices will set, and you won't have a dry meat loaf!
