LG's Tovala-Integrated Appliances Effortlessly Prepare Meals

— February 19, 2019 — Tech
There are countless smart ovens systems that have been introduced and just as many fresh meal delivery services, yet Tovala sets itself apart by pairings its countertop steam oven with Tovala Meal deliveries for an effortless, automated cooking experience. Preparing Tovala Meals requires only about a minute, as the meal's unique barcode only needs to be scanned for the appliance to receive a set of specific cooking instructions.

The 2019 LG smart ovens and ranges are set to be the first of their kind to offer compatibility with Tovala, meaning that a wide variety of meals can be prepared with minimal effort. Once a compatible LG appliance has scanned a meal's barcode, it is able to determine the precise temperatures and techniques to help consumers enjoy meals with top-notch textures and flavors.
