Does anyone have the insulated tote that is for sale on the outlet and if so, have you tried using it with the DCB? I am just wondering how well, if, the DCB would fit in it.....
 
I have it and I use it with the DCB when I make a recipe ahead of time. :)

Ohhh, GOOD to know!
 
I was wondering the SAME thing!

Thanks!
 
No problem. Just keep in mind that it zips but you will have to use both zippers ( they meet in the middle.) It's like zipping a full suitcase.
 
Really? What a great idea!
 
It holds the large bar pan, the deep dish baker as well. I forget if it holds the round stone, although that might get messy....:cool:

Thanks for the replies. I have been thinking of ordering one for a long time but just never got around to it. I made an apple cobbler in the rectangular stone for a pot luck lunch at church last week and carried it in the woven tray w/foil over it, which worked out well enough. My stepmom made the microwave cobbler in the DCB for a different pot luck dinner and just wrapped the piece in a towel to carry it; that is the reason I wanted to ask......if the DCB fits, I am going to get one for both of us.
