Each Tovala Meal comes with an insert card with instructions on how to cook your meal. You can also access this information in the Tovala App under Past Orders.
On the front
-
Cook time range
- Each Tovala Smart Oven (the Air Fryer and the Pro) has its own unique and chef-perfected cook cycle for every meal. The cook time range you see on the insert accounts for the difference in cook times between both models (as well as all protein options, if it's a Customize It meal).
- Just scan the QR code on the insert using your oven's scanner, and your oven will grab the correct cook cycle for your model.
- To see the exact cook time for your specific oven model, go to the Past Orders section of the Tovala App and tap on your meal. It will display the cook time for the oven that is paired with your account.
- You can also hit "Cook" from this section of the app to send the cook cycle to your oven.
- If you are unable to connect your oven to WiFi, you can choose to use the Reheat button to cook your Tovala Meal. Just be sure to follow our reheating guidelines.
