Key features of the LG NeoChef™ 39L Smart Inverter Convection Oven:

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.

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.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

But good looks aside, what’s winning heart about these is their capacity – they hold up to seven litres of food!
After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments. Even better, they are leak-proof, microwave-safe and fine to pop in the dishwasher.
Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
