Maximize Your DCB Experience: Overcoming Microwave Size Disappointment

[osproul]

I am so excited to have my new DCB and I bought it so I could cook meals in the microwave BUT my Microwave is Too Small! It is a newer microwave. I know I can cook in the oven but I was so looking forward to using it for fast micro meals.:cry:

Microwaves are cheap! Get a new one!

True and I may just do that but i was concerned about running into this same issue doing a cooking party with someone with a small microwave...I'd have to use the benefits of cooking great meals in it using the oven. Thanks for the response.

Just always ask your hosts to measure their microwave. It needs to measure
13" wide X 13" deep X 7.5" high.

What I have found is that if someone has an over-the-stove built-in microwave, then it's always big enough. If it sits on the counter, then they need to measure.

Thank you so much. So true, I had an over the stove one and moved and left it behind and now have a counter top microwave. I will keep the measurements you provided for reference. Again Thank You!
