Hi there! Great question. The DCB (Deep Covered Baker) is perfect for cooking large meals, so you should be able to fit everything in one batch. However, if you do need to make two batches, the food reheats very well in the DCB. Just make sure to cover it with the lid or foil to keep it moist. Happy cooking!
