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

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!

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!

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.

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.
Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.
One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.
We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.
Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums
What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.
1. Nappy Free Time
“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.
We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.
2. Change Nappies Frequently
“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member
Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.
3. Use A Barrier Cream
“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes
Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.
4. Choose Gentle
“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F
Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.
Nappy Rash Myths & Facts
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies. ✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.
It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.
🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies. ✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation. ✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.
Find Huggies Newborn Nappies and Ultra Dry Nappy Pants in your supermarket nappy aisle today.
Mouths of Mums is working with Huggies to bring you this handy information.
*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin. *#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.
All really good tips. I’m a big believer in not letting them sit in wet nappies for long. Even the most absorbent nappies are resting against their delicate skin and need changing. I’m also a big sudocrem fan. A thin layer applied to irritated skin does wonders. It’s natural for them to have nappy irritations but we can only do our best to avoid it
Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!
My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.
Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.
Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.
Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.
I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.
There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.
This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important
Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!
Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to
Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.
We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .
This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
