Craving a perfectly reheated slice of pizza without compromising its delectable taste? Look no further than your trusty Tovala oven. This innovative appliance has revolutionized the art of reheating, offering a seamless and efficient way to restore your pizza’s original glory.

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your Tovala oven to the recommended temperature of 400°F (200°C). This ensures an evenly heated pizza without overcooking or drying it out.

2. Prepare the Pizza

Place the cold pizza on a Tovala tray. If the pizza is large, cut it into smaller slices for more even heating.

3. Scan the Pizza

Use the Tovala app or scan the barcode on the pizza box to select the appropriate reheating setting. The oven will automatically adjust the time and temperature based on the pizza’s size and type.

4. Reheat the Pizza

Once the scan is complete, press the “Start” button. The Tovala oven will begin reheating the pizza, using a combination of steam and convection to create a crispy crust and melted cheese.

5. Enjoy the Perfect Slice

When the reheating cycle is complete, the oven will emit a beep. Remove the pizza and let it cool slightly before indulging in a tantalizing slice.

6. Troubleshooting Tips

  • Pizza is too dry: Increase the steam setting in the Tovala app.
  • Pizza is not crispy enough: Extend the reheating time slightly.
  • Cheese is not melted: Ensure the pizza is placed on the Tovala tray, not directly on the oven floor.

7. Additional Tips

  • For optimal results, reheat the pizza within 24 hours of cooking.
  • If you want a crispier crust, preheat the Tovala tray before placing the pizza on it.
  • Reheating frozen pizza? Thaw it partially at room temperature before placing it in the oven.
