The versatile and powerful LG NeoChef™ 39L Smart Inverter Convection Oven can handle a variety of cooking tasks, helping to save time while preparing meals. Mums can heat, defrost, cook or fry – this brand new microwave will bring 4-in-1 convenience to your busy household.
Key features of the LG NeoChef™ 39L Smart Inverter Convection Oven:
Healthy Fry
The Healthy Fry feature is designed to reduce the amount of fat that remains in food after frying. For example, by using an air fry method of cooking, rather than deep frying the NeoChef™ oven can reduce the amount of residual fat in potato wedges by up to 72 percent.*
Anti-Bacterial Coating
The Anti-Bacterial EasyClean™ interior coating makes cleaning simple and convenient. Just a few wipes are all it takes to clean the microwave interior. The coating eliminates 99.99 percent* of harmful bacteria from the surface.
Stable Turntable
The hexagonal ring stabilises the turntable with six support points, which helps prevent off-centre items from tipping and spilling during cooking.
Even Defrosting
The Inverter Technology in the LG NeoChef™ enables more precise temperature control to help defrost foods and avoid overcooked and unthawed areas.
Even Heating
LG Inverter Technology enables a more even distribution of heat throughout foods with more precise temperature control. Delivering a satisfying dining experience.
Brighter Internal Lighting
The interior white LED lamp on the NeoChef™ oven is 3 times brighter and more energy efficient than the incandescent light on other LG microwave ovens, letting you easily check on the contents of the microwave without having to open the door.
Versatile Cooking
With just one appliance you can warm, fry, defrost and cook. From delicately proofing yogurt to popping your corn, the LG NeoChef™ Smart Inverter Convection Oven is a versatile cooking solution.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
