Scannable groceries are store-bought items in the Tovala database that the Smart Oven can cook by just scanning their barcodes. Currently over 1,000 name-brand groceries are scannable. You can search for your favorite food or brand in the Groceries tab of the app or browse them here.
To cook a Scannable Grocery item:
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- This includes both the preparation instructions (remove film, place directly on the oven rack, etc.) and any instructions to flip or stir during the cycle.
-
Press your oven's Scan button.
- A red light will appear and indicate where to line up the barcode.
-
Hold the barcode steady under the red light, approximately 3 to 4 inches below the scanner.
- When your oven successfully scans, it will beep and display a cook time. If the item is not in our database, you'll hear an error sound and no cook time will display.
- Place your food in the oven.
- Use a foil-covered Tovala sheet tray for easy cleanup or the air fry basket for crispiest results unless the manufacturer's instructions say to put food directly on the oven rack.
-
Press Start to begin cooking.
- There's no need to preheat, it's built into the cook cycle.
If a specific grocery item isn't available in our database: you can cook any grocery store item with baking instructions in the Tovala Smart Oven just like you would in a regular oven. Follow the conventional oven instructions provided by the manufacturer and use the buttons on your oven to set a mode, temperature, and time, or use the app to create a custom cook cycle.
