  • Roasts in this appliance are fabulous!

    Last night I decided to cook a 1.3kg roast in this appliance, and it was incredible!
    I reheated it to 200 degrees and once the temp was reached, I put the roast on the non stick pan on top of the low rack, and set the time for 40 minutes. I did have to cut into the roast before serving to see if it had been cooked through, (i had no idea how long it should be in for!) … all up It was cooked for around an hour and I put some water to cover the pan in the last half of the cooking.
    I sliced it up and it was so moist and tender, and I think adding the water stopped it from drying out too much (Ive never added water before!).
    With the roast served, gravy made (with the oil added to that from the pan too) and the veggies steamed, we had a tender and beautiful roast beef for dinner!
    This appliance has certainly taken over my stand oven in the kitchen which takes forever to reach the set temperature!
    I also love how bright the internal light is so I can see how its cooking during the cook cycle!
    A great appliance!

  • This appliance is truly unbeatable!

    Last night we decided to cook up some honey soy spare ribs with some steamed veggies, and this great Neochef makes it just so easy! Its not only great cooking meals, but cleaning it is so easy and fast!
    Everytime I cook meat in the Neochef oven, it is cooked perfectly through and so moist and juicy! Last nights meal creation was the 1st time I have cooked this dish in the oven and we were so impressed! I’m loving sharing my meal creations on this site, because each time I have used it I have been so satisfied with the results. You can view it cooking really well and the chime once done is great. Even extending the cooking time is simple!
    This Neochef is something I would never be without!

  • An outstanding kitchen appliance!

    I purchased the LG NeoChef 39L Smart Inverter Convection Oven about 2 months ago after reviewing the product for a few weeks prior, and I am sooo impressed with the results!
    My current standing Oven in my kitchen is so old and the temperature never reaches the setting I choose, so cooking roasts is near impossible…
    BUT with the Neochef, I can!
    I have been loving my roast pork and crackling, usually I make it on a weekly basis because the results are outstanding.
    I end up a moist, beautiful roast, perfectly cooked, and crackling!
    I set it up on the high tray after I oil and salt it and pat dry, with the oven preheated to 200 degrees. I then cook my roast for around an hour, maybe 10 minutes more depending on the size of it.
    The results are always perfect, and the meat is so tender.
    This roast pork dish is without doubt my favourite at the moment, and the Neochef is so easy to use. I am so impressed with this appliance- its replaced my big oven, fryer and my steamer.. all in one!

  • NeoChef Play Dough

    Yep, you can make playdough in the microwave! Here is a link to a recipe on KidSpot – I have also used their photo, as my son is older, and play dough is not required. Just thought I would share this, as I think it is awesome. Good luck making it, and cannot wait to see your photos! Here is the link:

  • steak and sweet potato... yummm!

    I cooked up a storm in the Neochef microwave today!! I followed the instructions and actually cooked a whole sweet potato from scratch! it toiok some getting used to with the settings and a little bit of fiddling as it was my first time but it really did workl! and the sweet potato smelt delicious! Be sure to cover the vegetables properly or they might burst. The cooling action that the microwave completes on its own helped alot, no smoke! Thanks LG!

  • Instructions easy to read

    I’ve read all through the instruction booklet and found it so easy to navigate and there’s some great recipes! It’s now been a month since I’ve had the microwave and am so happy with the results. There are different categories for the booklet and the recipes were easy to follow. I really like how the troubleshooting is easy top go through as you are directly put through customer service diagnostics so they literally can figure out what is wrong with your microwave if there is an issue!

  • An overall winner

    Ive had this for a month now- and honestly, its amazing.
    We just moved houses, and my god it looks fantastic in the new kitchen.
    I havent even had a chance to try its easy clean feature, as its never boiled over.
    Food is always hot and it is insanely easy to use.
    Im in love with the knob timer and the fact that I can easily lessen the cooking time without stopping the cook feature.
    We have cooked so many different meals, and reheated frozen food- it always cooks evenly and doesnt burn food or do that chewy thing around the edges that microwaves normally do. It also takes so much less time to cook than my old microwave.
    Im never going back to a ‘normal’ microwave- this thing is amazing

  • Vegetable Casserole reheated easily!

    Reheated some vegetable Casserole on the manual setting today. I wanted to see of the reheat function made much of a difference. I loved that you have the option of manual or the auto reheat function. The vegetable came out nice and warm and the broth came out looking just as it did when I first cooked it. Made is fast and easy for me to use.

  • Love, Love, Love my microwave!

    I just used the slow cooking function again on my microwave and it made things so easy! This time I just wanted to slow cook some BBQ lamb chops to make them more tender and nice for a stir fry. The microwave took less time than I expected – normally I would do it for 8 hours but this time I only slow cooked for about 6 hours on the low setting and they turned out beautifully – just as good as my slow cooking appliance! The meat was just falling off the bone and delicious. It helped me to create a really delicious sweet and sour lamb and veg stir fry and it worked perfectly with my Tupperware Ultrapro. So happy!

  • So easy even hubby uses it!

    I’ve recently returned to work and hubby had a few rdos so was home with our boy.
    I knew he’d be fine but I came home to rave reviews from him about how easy the microwave was to heat up little man’s food and warm his milk for nap times.
    He even found by accident the touch sliding function to adjust the timer which he was super impressed with!

  • Still love it

    It’s been a few months now and I can’t fault the Neo Chef. Its so easy to use. We’re keen to try making beef jerky and roll ups next!
    The dial no longer stays in when pushed for a sleek design which is a shame. It just stopped doing it one day. I did enquire with LG and they said I’d have to take it to a service centre but it’s only cosmetic really so it doesn’t really bother us.

  • Made two dinners in less than half an hour

    I am pretty much obsessed with this microwave. I made sausage rolls and cooked them on the inverter cook function for 15 minutes for my son for dinner. I then used the healthy fry/steam function and steamed some veggies for 15 minutes to go with a roast chicken for my husband and my dinner! Easy! The best appliance

  • NeoChef Play Dough

    Yep, you can make playdough in the microwave! Here is a link to a recipe on KidSpot – I have also used their photo, as my son is older, and play dough is not required. Just thought I would share this, as I think it is awesome. Good luck making it, and cannot wait to see your photos! Here is the link:

  • steak and sweet potato... yummm!

    I cooked up a storm in the Neochef microwave today!! I followed the instructions and actually cooked a whole sweet potato from scratch! it toiok some getting used to with the settings and a little bit of fiddling as it was my first time but it really did workl! and the sweet potato smelt delicious! Be sure to cover the vegetables properly or they might burst. The cooling action that the microwave completes on its own helped alot, no smoke! Thanks LG!

  • Instructions easy to read

    I’ve read all through the instruction booklet and found it so easy to navigate and there’s some great recipes! It’s now been a month since I’ve had the microwave and am so happy with the results. There are different categories for the booklet and the recipes were easy to follow. I really like how the troubleshooting is easy top go through as you are directly put through customer service diagnostics so they literally can figure out what is wrong with your microwave if there is an issue!

  • Microwave Managed!

    Wow, what fun it has been getting to know our LG NeoChef Microwave. The manual has helped my son to improve his reading, help prepare and cook meals, and feel good about himself. These attributes are priceless. Thank you so much @mouths of mums and @LG for choosing my family! I have had a few dodgy moments, forgetting to cover food, over reheating, and forgetting just how powerful this beauty is. All in all, Microwave Managed!

  • It's a dream appliance

    Tonight I made bolognaise stuffed jacket potatoes. I reheated in the microwave leftover bolognaise we had last night and baked my potatoes in the LG NeoChef Smart Convection Oven. The potatoes were cooked fluffy on the inside, while the outside had a beautiful crispy skin but not over done
    Was an easy fast process with the end result of delicious. The picture speaks for its self. The only downside was I wanted to cook more potatoes but couldn’t (1kilo max limit) using the function listed in the manual. Other than that they were a family hit. Will definitely makes these again using the LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Convection Oven

  • An overall winner

    Ive had this for a month now- and honestly, its amazing.
    We just moved houses, and my god it looks fantastic in the new kitchen.
    I havent even had a chance to try its easy clean feature, as its never boiled over.
    Food is always hot and it is insanely easy to use.
    Im in love with the knob timer and the fact that I can easily lessen the cooking time without stopping the cook feature.
    We have cooked so many different meals, and reheated frozen food- it always cooks evenly and doesnt burn food or do that chewy thing around the edges that microwaves normally do. It also takes so much less time to cook than my old microwave.
    Im never going back to a ‘normal’ microwave- this thing is amazing

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
