Crispy And Delicious: Learn How To Cook Bacon In Your Tovala Oven

Wake up to the sizzling aroma of perfectly cooked bacon, all thanks to the magic of your Tovala oven. Say goodbye to the splatters and grease of traditional bacon cooking methods and embrace a new era of convenience and crispiness. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of how to cook bacon in a Tovala oven, ensuring a delicious and mess-free breakfast experience.

1. Choosing the Right Bacon:

The foundation of great bacon lies in selecting high-quality slices. Look for bacon that is evenly cut, with no thick or thin spots. Consider your desired thickness: thicker slices provide a satisfying chew, while thinner slices offer a crispy crunch. Opt for bacon with minimal marbling for a crispier result.

2. Preparing Your Tovala Oven:

Preheat your Tovala oven to the “Bacon” setting. This preheating process ensures that your bacon cooks evenly and achieves the perfect level of crispiness. While the oven heats up, line the included Tovala tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

3. Arranging the Bacon:

Carefully place the bacon slices in a single layer on the parchment paper-lined tray. Avoid overcrowding the tray, as this will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly. Leave some space between each slice to allow for air circulation and optimal crispiness.

4. Setting the Cook Time:

Depending on your desired level of crispiness, adjust the cook time accordingly. For slightly chewy bacon, set the timer for 12-14 minutes. For crispy bacon, extend the cook time to 16-18 minutes. Remember, you can always check the bacon’s progress and adjust the time if needed.

5. Cooking the Bacon:

Once you’ve set the cook time, simply press the “Start” button on your Tovala oven. Sit back and relax as the oven does all the work. The Tovala oven’s unique steam-cooking technology ensures that your bacon cooks evenly and remains juicy on the inside while achieving a crispy exterior.

6. Checking for Doneness:

After the cook time is complete, carefully open the Tovala oven and check the bacon’s doneness. If you prefer crispier bacon, you can extend the cook time in 2-minute increments until you reach your desired level of crispiness.

7. Serving and Enjoying:

Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Let the bacon cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked bacon as part of a hearty breakfast, as a topping for salads or sandwiches, or as a savory snack on its own.

Tips for Cooking Bacon in a Tovala Oven:

• Experiment with different bacon flavors. Try applewood-smoked, hickory-smoked, or peppered bacon for a variety of taste experiences.
• For thicker bacon slices, consider increasing the cook time by 2-3 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
• If you like your bacon extra crispy, you can broil it for a few minutes after cooking in the Tovala oven.
• To reheat leftover bacon, simply place it back in the Tovala oven on the “Reheat” setting for a few minutes until warmed through.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

• If your bacon is too chewy, reduce the cook time. If it’s too crispy, extend the cook time.
• If your bacon is sticking to the parchment paper, make sure you’re using a non-stick cooking spray or lining the tray with parchment paper.
• If your bacon is not cooking evenly, rearrange the slices on the tray to ensure they’re not overlapping.

“Bacon-tastic” Conclusion:

With the Tovala oven, cooking bacon has never been easier or more convenient. Enjoy crispy, flavorful bacon without the mess and hassle of traditional cooking methods. Elevate your breakfast routine, impress your family and friends, and indulge in the deliciousness of perfectly cooked bacon, all thanks to the magic of your Tovala oven.
