Hi, I have a pyrex padded insulated tote for one of their 9x13 pans. The baker with the lid inverted fits perfectly in there. Zips around it and has handles to carry. I then place it in my Rubbermaid tote.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ways to pack my DCB for transportation to shows?

To ensure your DCB (Deep Covered Baker) arrives safely at shows, use bubble wrap or packing paper to cushion it. Place it in a sturdy box or a padded bag specifically designed for cookware. Make sure to secure the lid tightly to prevent any movement during transport.

How can I organize my DCB and other Pampered Chef products for easy transport?

Utilize a rolling cart or a sturdy tote with compartments to keep your DCB and other products organized. Group similar items together and use dividers or smaller bags to prevent them from shifting. Label each section for quick access during your show.

What should I do if my DCB breaks during transportation?

If your DCB breaks during transportation, first assess the damage. If it's a minor chip, you may still be able to use it, but for significant damage, contact Pampered Chef for guidance on replacement options. Always have a backup plan, such as bringing an extra DCB or alternative cookware.

Are there specific transportation methods recommended for DCBs?

When transporting DCBs, consider using a vehicle with a flat surface to minimize movement. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the DCB. If traveling long distances, consider using a climate-controlled vehicle to protect your products from extreme temperatures.

How can I ensure my DCB is ready for demonstration at shows?

Before the show, check that your DCB is clean and free of any residue. Pre-heat it if necessary, and have all necessary ingredients and tools packed alongside it. Arrive early to set up and allow time for any last-minute adjustments to ensure a smooth demonstration.
