Tovala beats Blue Apron and Freshly as the most convenient meal service.
See what makes Tovala betterBut they send you bare ingredients in a box. Ingredients you have to spend 45+ minutes prepping then cooking.
They send meals that are ready to heat and eat. But by heat they mean nuke dry in your microwave.
Our meals taste better. And cook faster. Thanks to the power of multi-step cooking and steam. That's why our meals are paired with our special oven.
Unlike other meal kit services, Tovala actually delivers on its promise to make eating healthy dinners easy.
Our chef-prepared meal kits, paired with our countertop steam oven, give you fresh dinners in 20 minutes or less. No prep-work. No cleanup. No fuss.
Tovala is perfect for those too busy to cook, too tired (but hungry) from a long day, or looking for a much easier way to eat healthy.Â
Blue Apron sends you “perfectly portioned” ingredients. But all that does is save you a few minutes on grocery shopping. It doesn’t make dinner any easier. See for yourself.Â
You could spend an hour chopping and cooking all of this, with Blue Apron.
Or you could get your fresh meals delivered like this. Ready to cook in recyclable containers. No prep-work!
Aren't meal-delivery services supposed to be convenient?
There's nothing particularly convenient about cooking your food from scratch.
Here’s what your kitchen looks like after spending an hour cooking Blue Apron’s ingredients.Â
And here’s what your kitchen looks like after enjoying a Tovala Meal. No messy dishes. Nothing to clean up. Tovala truly makes home cooking easy.Â
At Tovala, we deliver fresh meal kits to your doorstep. Meals ready to heat in our countertop steam oven.
The oven does all the work automatically — so you don't have to. And it cooks meals to fresh perfection.
Freshly delivers ready-to-eat meals to your doorstep. All you have to do is heat the meals. In a microwave.
And what are you getting for it? Microwave-nuked dinner? That's not fresh — that's not something your family would want to eat daily.
With Tovala, you don't compromise. Our chefs craft every recipe using only the freshest ingredients. Then every meal is prepared specially for your Tovala Steam Oven. The Tovala Oven is the same size as your microwave. But it doesn’t leave your dinner soggy. It cooks your food the way it’s meant to be prepared.
In less time and effort than it takes to walk the dog.
The Tovala Steam Oven, which fits conveniently on your countertop, features a water chamber so your meals are steamed and baked simultaneously. That’s how we give you the best-tasting meals you’ll ever have.
Food tastes best when you start cooking it with wet (steam) heat then finish it with dry heat. It’s how you get that juicy and crispy combo.
This is called multi-step cooking — something traditional ovens can’t do.
But Tovala can. And with the Tovala Steam Oven, switching between these cooking methods happens automatically. Meaning you scan your meal’s barcode once. Then sit back while the oven takes over.
