The COMPLETE Tovala Smart Oven Guide - Unboxing, Setup, Review & Preparing Your First Meal!

[@UtubeAdviser]

You forgot 1 thing. Read your manual It clearly says on page 10: “Run your device once, before cooking ANYTHING with it. This is necessary to clean it before usage and ensure the best cooking possible.” Press Bake, set the temperature to 450 degrees and time for 20 minutes, then press Start. You may detect smoke or smell burning during this first cleaning. This is normal and not a sign of a faulty oven.” Always, always read your manual and don’t ever think that you need to follow KZbin videos instead of the actual manual.

(This isn't Julius, it's his wife.) I work for Tovala! Thank you for making this video! It's awesome. Yes, the measuring cup comes with all ovens. :)

[@kmain0]

Hey Julius!

[@larkpics]

I just got my oven and it didn't have a measuring cup.

[@SharonBoseant]

I just got mine. No measuring cup, but I got a REAL oven mit, so I'll keep the trade. 😊

[@nancywenner3599]

I just got my oven. No measuring cup.

[@kunald12]

Wow! I had no idea these existed.. I'm getting one! Thanks for putting this video together.

[@KeyzLife]

Awesome! You're going to love it!!!

[@jessikajames7253]

Just bought the oven and delivery subscription and was a little lost trying to set it up - THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO!! Thanks so much - I am hoping you did one one on the Tovala App - I'll search that next and be back for more of your funny and informative videos!

[@GayleMitchellMagicGayle]

Great video. I got mine early this week and left it while I pondered if I needed it. I decided to unbox today. Some people are visual learners - the guide didn't help in instructing how to install the steamer thingy. Thank you for the help! I think I'm going to keep it.

[@shoppingsavvy]

Great video! Made it easy to set my oven up.

[@SharonBoseant]

Great job! Thanks for the help.

[@RodneyGracia]

Wasted my time watching all kinds of terrible review videos on YT until I reached this one. So good. Thank you! Ordered!

[@ElisaHawkes]

This is really good information. Thank you!

[@radamstruck]

Great review! Thanks!!

[@jenniferdavis3954]

I like your humor! Can you make grilled cheese in the oven. Can you put cheese or water in the veggies?

[@sliceserve234]

great video, thanks for making this! i just got a Tovala oven

[@patricialovell-b8n]

You are funny and very helpful‼️👏👏

[@jeffzest8393]

How do you get the steam bar to lock in place? Mine is still loose. I have spent over two hours trying to lock it in, several times having to dig it out after falling into crevice. I can place in but still moves left to right. Is that ok? Thanks.

[@tilklem513]

This guy is great! Best vid of the Tuvalu oven for sure.

[@nancylanderson8012]

Very well done. Easy to follow directions. Thank you!

[@dannettecara]

Love this oven! I purchased it today on Black Friday! Love your reveiw.

[@austindriscoll]

Can I ask if you like it? And what price point was it at? Searching for a smart oven! Thank you 😊

[@BridgetMWillard]

I thought about that. Looks rad. Nice job editing.

[@KeyzLife]

I picked one up after my 18-month old (at the time) destroyed our old toaster oven by keeping a plastic pen hidden in it, lol. Best decision ever. Love the Tovala. Thanks for the compliments on the editing, the praise for that goes straight to my team!

[@ddoto123]

Dude..outstanding video. Very very helpful!! Much appreciated. Mine is on the way!!

[@KeyzLife]

David! Thanks for the love! I appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's any other content you'd like to see! Let me know what you love/hate about your Tovala when you get it!

[@caseymanuel7199]

Our family is so busy so hello fresh eventually quit working for us bc usually there is always one or two of us not there at the same time so this has been wonderful for our family we can all make our dinner whenever we are home to eat it and my teens love scanning it lol 13 weeks strong for us with tovala and we love it!!!

[@fredcurrier3288]

Good job.

[@jchampjr]

Hey! Love your videos and love my Tovala. But you left out the final step of setup where you are supposed to run the oven once, at 450 for 20 minutes, before cooking anything in it. This is to clean any residuals that were left in manufacturing of the oven. Thanks.

[@toastiemc]

THANK YOU!!!! I needed this video!!!

[@stephengneri2136]

Yes: I was stunned at how much better the toast is...finally a manufacturer that tells the truth: everything they said it could do it does. well.

[@jodil4968]

Great video! I can't wait to use it!!!

[@FredPement]

Nice!

[@miradonfbd]

Great video. Have meal number one cooking now.

[@lindafaberman8712]

Thanks so much. You were a tremendous helpl!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Great video, but I never had a tovala smart oven!

[@aquamarisha4608]

Thanks for the review Jason! Might have to try it now :) What happened to your first oven?

[@KeyzLife]

Haha, great question! I thought I would end up taking one to the office and leaving one at home. However... I ended up keeping both of them next to each other. Worked out great actually. I can prep roasted broccoli while warming up some pizza or random other combinations of food!

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

you are suppose to run oven 20 minutes on bake at 400 degrees before cooking food. To sterilize and cook the coatings. Tovala did have a special of $50 for oven which is a great deal for a convection oven and air fryer.

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Hi Jason, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about the tovala smart oven!

[@NintCondition]

You should show how to do 2 at once

[@ryanmiller3020]

I think that was very informative. In fact, I wish I had taken a look at that video when I got my own Tovala. But there is one area where you are mistaken. When you scan a recipe, or hit the cook button after pulling up a meal in the app, none of that knowledge is actually built into the oven. What it does instead is use that barcode to pull up the instructions for that particular meal from a database that the chefs keep maintained at all times. In fact, one of the support people told me that the programming only lasts for the duration of the meal, and it gets deleted there after. Also, when you scan something, you have 15 minutes to press the start button, or it goes away. Also taken mind the safety features. What made me feel right at home is that there is very little chance of someone accidentally turning on the oven remotely, because you have to actually be there to press the start button on the oven itself. There is no start button within the app. So I would argue that it’s also one of the safest ovens around.

[@howardkwong7450]

Great video. I ordered my Tovala oven and it is in transit (stalled at the port) so looking forward to having my first meal with it in the January!

[@PaulsWanderings]

I used my Tovala oven for the first time today and the oven wouldn't scan the QR code.

[@mikeg8777]

Question - When cooking two meals at once, does the oven know that there are two portions and self adjust, or is this something you have to do when setting up your meal?

[@MH-wm6df]

Nope. This is one of the dumbest things I've seen. Dude is paying 12 bucks for chicken brrast and potatoes. Some broccoli? Steak is 17? For a 6 ounce petite sirloin?? Here is the worst part....it doesn't cook it right! No Sautee. No chance for nice bark. No chance for even protein, as bottom and top are cooked different.

[@robinholbrook6576]

@@MH-wm6df um…welll…he got $200 off the oven when he subscribed to the food service! And yes gotta eat! NOPE! Not so dumb! Lol

[@jchampjr]

My understanding is that you can only cook two of the same meals at the same time. Not two different meals.

[@TazGoldstein]

“...or guns.” HAHAHA 🤣

[@KeyzLife]

But they are so much fun!

[@wifeocaster]

Where does this vent the heat from? My current oven vents out the top of the door and it sucks.

[@gb3729]

Will a frozen pizza fit in the Tovala Oven??

[@mikeherrington5992]

I always have to put in the info manually, does it have to be connected to the wifi for the scan feature to work?

[@12369ja]

Why didn't you put the rice in the taco?

[@JackSMITH-wh7co]

Can you cook frozen food from grocery store

[@KeyzLife]

Jack that’s a great question! The answer is yes anything you can otherwise cook in the oven, a toaster oven, or even a steamer type of oven, you can cook in a tovala. The only thing it’s not, is a microwave. In addition to that the Tovala comes pre-programmed to be able to scan over 600 off-the-shelf boxed foods and prepare it based on the recipe that the box suggests. I’m actually going to put this on the list to do as a follow up video in the next few weeks. I’m going to pick some of my favorite and some of the most popular foods that are programmed into tovala system, buy them and make a video of us prepping them and taste testing! Be sure to like and subscribe so you see that video!! Let me know if you end up picking up the Tovala! (P.s. if you do, bonus $50 off link in the comments on the video!) Cheers! Jason

[@beraberg]

Can you microwave anything in it? It says it reheats, but what about warming up water in a cup like a regular microwave?

[@Tesla-Cannon]

Are you keeping it on granite? I don’t want heat to damage mine and the manual doesn’t mention anything about it

[@jeffzest8393]

When adding water to the reservoir the plastic ring around the water bottle fell into the reservoir. Afraid could damage the over, cause a fire, or leak plastic into my food. Thanks!

[@elainemoore3822]

Why do the tovala oven get really hot in the back.

[@jeffzest8393]

Ok, need to press start after scan. Manual does not mention this,

[@grytawittoesch3823]

Great job Jason- love your video ! I actually unboxed mine before I watched your video - I had to laugh to myself because I did everything that you did by dumping the oven upside down to get it out of the box and styrofoam etc. I am excited to try it out tonight. I did order those Beef bulgogi tacos - I think they are on the menu in a couple weeks.

[@kerihutchings8936]

Welp....ur getting another $50, just ordered mine after hours of research 🙃 Ur welcome to send me something too..😆

[@KeyzLife]

Keri! Awesome sauce! I know you'll love it. Be sure to subscribe, we're going to do some cool tovala videos in the next few weeks where we actually test other features and store bought items. Also, considering doing a side by side comparasion with all the other smart ovens currently on the market! lol, fun times ahead! Let me know how you like your oven when you get it. Oh and good idea... I'll work on doing some giveaways on this channel soon! 🔥🔥

@@KeyzLife it's going to live with my stepmother in the house (I live in the garage flat)...she's not much on prepping, cooking or cleaning so she wanted to try it out..whereas I'm a home chef that loves to prep & cook, but hey, why not try it? I'll just pop over & play with our new "EZ bake, steam, broil, toast" oven..lol (I also do 90% of her shopping for her) I'll subscribe & see what's going on & share a tidbit or 2 as I try new recipes i come up with if u like.

Instructions not clear on steam insert. Should you seethe word steamer or just line of holes? Thx.

[@miradonfbd]

The quick start instructions say the word steamer should face you. Just drop it in the back inside the oven.

I'm having trouble inserting that steamer cover also. I don't think it's very clear

When you purchase the oven, do you have to buy the meals also, or is that optional? It was not addressed.

[@miradonfbd]

Yes, for a period of time. But that’s the whole point for me. I don’t have time to cook for myself so I don’t eat well. Hopefully this will be great!

[@TheBekacuda]

Is the food frozen? I chose June because delivery food scares me but I haven’t unboxed it yet.

No, but it arrives cold and you refrigerate.
