Can someone tell me the measurements that the inside of the microwave needs to be for the DCB? Mine doesn't fit in my microwave and I want to use it at my shows but don't know what the measurements need to be.
TIA

That sounds about right. The DCB is 12 1/2" inches wide. I was hoping that a slightly smaller DCB would've been in the spring lineup. I can't believe how many people have microwave ovens that are only 12" wide.
