Meat Hand
I made something gruesome and delicious.
No, really, it was good.
This is meatloaf.
Meatloaf with cheese on top.
And some ketchup.
The nails are made of onion.
The wrist bones are onion too.
Where are you going?
This is how I made it:
Since August I've had a post it note over my desk that simply said "meat hand". I mulled over how to make it for a while. I realized that the old formed inside a plastic glove thing wouldn't work since the fingers would cook so much faster than the rest of the hand. It wasn't until I saw this hand gelatin mold that I had my plan:
I shot several angles to show how it has a base built in, meaning I could probably use it to mold meatloaf.
I made the basic meatloaf recipe from How to Cook Everything using a food processor to chop the onions and carrot to a very fine mince so I could fill in the details of the mold without trouble. One meatloaf recipe using 2 pounds of meat will make two hands.
I sprayed the inside of the mold with cooking oil spray and it came out fairly easily. I put it on top of a rack to allow the fat to run off as it cooked.
I did a few versions, learning as I went along.
Version #1
The first one was straight meatloaf. I surrounded it with mashed potatoes and kale (or brain matter and swamp greens if you have kids, or just act like kids). It looked ok, sort of creepy:
Version #2
The next time I tried adding fingernails made of onion, which were just like press on nails:
To make the fingernails I sliced a thin round off of a single layer of an onion, then used kitchen scissors to trim it into a nail shape keeping the lines in the onion running the length of the nail. I kept the thinnest end of the onion slice at the tip of the nail. (Shown here using a red onion as it's easier to see details.)
I also covered it with ketchup before cooking:
It turned out gross:
This time to better define the fingers I piped mashed potatoes around the hand to define the shape. I just used a ziploc bag with a small corner snipped off to do the detail inbetween fingers, then I snipped off a larger corner to pipe around the hand. I smoothed down the mashed potatoes with a silicone spatula. The results where pretty creepy.
Version #3
The ketchup covered hand made me pretty happy but... I had this idea. My mom used to throw a slice of cheese on top of her meatloaf before cooking it and the cheese always turned out browned and crispy. I wondered how that would work with my relatively delicate hand. I also had the idea to use the smaller inner layers of the onion to create a cartoon-y wrist bone sticking out.
I made two versions. The first used white onion and was simply covered in cheese. The second used red onion and was covered with ketchup and then cheese. I used slices of provolone cheese because I knew it wouldn't slide off completely as it melted. (Maggi suggested it, thanks Maggi!) This time I used the version of meatloaf with spinach, again from How to Cook Everything. Here are some pre-cooked pictures:
I peeled an onion until I got to the smaller inner layers and simply pressed it into the wrist:
I trimmed the cheese to fit around the fingernails:
If I were to do it again I would have put less cheese around the fingers, or rather, I would have put narrower pieces. The cheese pooled inbetween the fingers and made it more difficult to diguise later on.
This cheese thing, it worked a bit too well. We couldn't bring ourselves to actually eat either of them (though, we had been eating a lot of meatloaf lately). Here is a picture showing them side by side. They were cooked at the same time and the one with the ketchup beneath the cheese (white fingernails) browned a bit more. You can also see that piping the detail more carefully can make a difference:
The wrist bone of the white onion was pushed out a bit as the meatloaf cooked:
The smaller onion piece of the red onion write bone wasn't as impressive:
The red onion fingernails were creepier, but the white onion fingernails might get the point across more quickly:
Here is a cute pumpkin pancake chaser:
Just in case you need it.
OH MY GOD DISGUSTING!!! HAHAHAH!!! What a way to start my Tuesday! I can't wait to make this tonite!!!

OMG that's horrific! And a whole lot of meat loaf! Sure hope your family hasn't lost their appetite! If I wasn't so disgusted I'd be really impressed ;)

Oh, this is the best! I'm going to have to try to sculpt my own, b/c I can't get a hold of that form in time by Saturday. How long did it have to bake? And you put the cheese on at the beginning of the baking time, right? I just love this!! And that onion bone is the bomb!!!
Comment by Amy M in Indiana — October 27, 2009 @ 8:37 am
I have a brain jello mold, and I was trying to think up other things I could use it for other than jello... meatloaf! I will go experiment once I purchase a food processor... What are other things you've used jello molds for?
Comment by punkrawkknitter — October 27, 2009 @ 8:58 am
So fabulous and disgusting!
Comment by April — October 27, 2009 @ 9:13 am
Amy M - The meat loaf recipe I used said to cook until the internal temperature was 160 degrees so I went by that, I think total baking time was around 45 minutes but I wasn't paying close attention. I did put on the cheese before putting the meat loaf in the oven, provolone doesn't melt and get as stretchy as some other cheeses so I wasn't too afraid of it sliding off the hand.
punkrawkknitter - You could certainly make meat loaf without a food processor, just be careful to chop the onions and whatever other veggies go inside very fine.
I've never owned a jello mold before this hand so I haven't made anything else, but I came across this panna cotta brain at Not Quite Nigella the other day. (I've seen a similar one from Alton Brown before.)

Lori - I got the hand jello mold at a Halloween store in Seattle. I've seen them around and would imagine those itinerant Spirit stores would have something similar.

It is so incredibly realistic that it is comforting to know it is not see it is a real hand! But then, from a vegetarian standpoint, it is almost just as gross knowing that this dead hand REALLY is made of dead meat!!

I always put cheese in (one of) my meatloaf(s)...about a half to three quarters of a block of the BIG velveeta cheese. It's the only time I can ever bring myself to use velveeta while cooking. That, onion, green pepper, a sleeve of ritz crackers (crumbled, but not overly so), 2 eggs, adobo seasoning (which goes with everything) and maybe a little worcestershire sauce.
Another guilty secret...my sister and I used to make that recipe as kids with our parents and dad was a bit of a carnivore; he would eat the mixture raw and encouraged us to do the same. It is amazing, to those who may also be brave enough to try. The biggest thing most people have a hard time getting over is the texture, but if you can enjoy steak tartare and can stomach the thought of raw meat, I would definitely suggest trying it. Something about the crunch of the Ritz and the strong flavor of the cheese...mmm!
Your hand is absolutely amazing :) As a major lover of meatloaf, I was absolutely floored by it. This is in my favorites now and I can't wait to try this with my mom. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and in such graphic detail! It makes it so much easier to try for yourself. You rock!

This is absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing all of the details. We're having my sister and her husband over on Halloween evening and I'm planning on serving it for dinner. My brother-in-law lost a hand in an industrial accident a few years ago and I know that he'll just love it! He loves meat and potatoes but he has difficulty using a knife and a fork at the same time so he'll be able to cut the meatloaf and eat it with his fork. I'll let you know how it turns out.
P.S. I'm going to use any of the leftovers as "handouts" for the little Trick or Treaters.

I have to "hand" it to you for creativity and persistence! That is soooo gross...no way I could eat it! But very cool at the same time. Great imagination. I hate Halloween! AHHHHHH! Some kids would love it...some would need therapy! ;-)

Just writing to say that both my friend and I made meathand for Halloween dinner. I've never made meatloaf before, so I went with an Alton Brown recipe with some minor tweaks. It came out sufficiently gruesome and delicious!

The kids thought it was so cool, and our ten-year-old loved it!
Thank you so much for going through your steps and telling us what worked and what didn't. I did not have a mold, but actually formed the hand from meat loaf and followed the rest of your instructions carefully. It turned out great and every bit got eaten! Thanks again!
