I simply love the sensor function. As a busy mum to a super busy toddler time in the kitchen needs to be minimal. Especially when getting dinner going. So that’s where my love of the sensor function comes in.
I don’t have to think how long it’ll take to cook frozen veggies, or reheat plates. Or even defrost meat.
I just tell the microwave what I’ve put in it and it works it out for me. And then it lets me know when it’s ready. Perfect!

Yes it can be done, and it tastes good – bacon can be cooked in the microwave. Not only is the taste good, but it is ready so quickly and there is no pan to wash up afterwards.
Page 16 of the manual shows how to do it… Basically take four rashers of bacon, place them on paper towel on a microwave safe dish, cover with more paper towel. Chose the sensor cook menu and boom, bacon in a hear beat! Note, pic is not of mine, as I forgot LOL

I have mastered scrambled eggs in the NeoChef – here is the basics:
Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl, scramble with a fork, and microwave in 30-second increments until cooked through, stirring at each interval. Alakazam, scrambled eggs! Throw in some chopped veggies and serve with a slice of toast for a complete, filling meal.
Remember the size of your eggs and the heat you cook on will affect the cooking time, so it is important to do the 30 second intervals, and remember the eggs will continue to cook when removed from microwave, so stop when they are slightly under. Note photo is

Reheating vegetables and chicken Casserole in minutes!
I cooked a vegetable and chicken Casserole the other night and decided we would pull it out have have it for dinner as a quick and healthy dinner choice. I was a little worried about the sizes and portions of the chicken mixed in with all the different vegetable but to my surprise found that the microwave reheated them quite well. I used the manual function rather than reheat just so I could compare the two and was pleasantly surprised by the difference. It only took a couple of minutes and had dinner ready in a jiffy the cooling automatically happens in the microwave which gave me piece of mind whilst I was tending to baby and getting dinner on the tablet all in all a great microwave that seems pretty reliable with a brand I can trust!

I bought this a week ago and it’s wonderful. Great size, plays music sounds when finished, inverter great, no cooling period after cooking. Looks great in the kitchen and so far it’s easy cleaning.It takes all our large bowls & is considerably quieter than all the microwaves we have had in the past. The flush front panel looks great & is easy to use. The interior light is great, all in all a terrific product. Flush panel is perfect. Takes all large dishes and bowls and heats really quickly. Extremely happy with this product.

This microwave oven is truly out of this world technology. My goodness it is more powerful than my precious microwave. It is so very easy to use and it has a higher watt power so it cooks quicker and more effectively. I am a big fan as who knew you can use it in a diverse amount of ways. I know I can recommend to anyone who can afford. I think it is quite expensive for what it is but it is forward thinking technology so comes with the territory I guess

I love this microwave oven. I can cook anything I would like in it, multiple dishes and it is very versatile. I really love that it is 1200 watts so every thing does cook a lot quicker which is more time efficient and just all in all way better to cook with. I love their design and who doesn’t like a orettt accessory! I will definitely recommend to family and friends any day

Have had this microwave for a few months now and I’m still discovering things about it! I’m keen for winter so I can test out the slow cook function. I found it has started to rattle when using it, which could be the turntable, but overall it’s still a pleasant appliance. Everyone always comments on it when they visit. And admit they’re jealous haha!

I’m loving the sliding function to adjust the cooking time.
I’ve recently done a lot of baking and needed to melt or soften butter for my cakes and cookies.
Whilst I’ve used the melt/soften functions I’ve found that in some occasions the original time set wasn’t enough.
A simple swipe towards the + and the timer increases the cooking time without me having to stop and restart the program.
We’ve also done the same swipe to reduce the time when we could see that the original time was going to be too long.
Very handy and hubby was very impressed to learn of this function last week!

The more I use it, the more I really love this mircrowave. With it’s stylish looks, and it being simple to clean and easy to use. It seems to reheat way more evenly that my previous microwave and I love the cooling function . I also love that the beeping on completion isn’t so loud so I don’t have to rush to stop it if the kids are asleep. And that means I have a better chance to whip up something to eat without waking them which gains bonus points in my eyes

I’m still loving the ease of using this amazingly smart microwave.
I no longer have to think that extra step of “how long do I need to cook this for again?” I simply pop it on sensor mode and it works it out for me. Complete with a little song to let me know that the cooking time is almost done – along with the final chime at the end of cooking.
And let’s not forget to praise the reminder chime – because let’s face it – meal prep with an 18 month old is never a smooth easy task

This microwave is the bees knees. So many functions that you really need to study the manual to make full use of it. (Makes me wonder how much I didn’t know about my previous LG microwave!)
I found I had to consult the manual before each use (except for reheating) just to make sure I had the settings right. With frequent use, you would learn all the functions easily.
The microwave is BIG! It will not fit into a standard microwave cavity. It also needs clearance around it, so didn’t fit on the shelf in my walk in pantry either. If you don’t like appliances sitting on your bench top, this isn’t for you.
Otherwise the design is nice and sleek and matches a modern kitchen nicely.
Cooking was simple with the machine – instructions clear. While cooking a roast chicken, I missed the beep to turn the chicken over as I was distracted. So keep in mind to pay attention if there’s any need to pause cooking to stir or turn.
Air frying had me intrigued. I did some wedges and it had a really good potato taste – wasn’t disguised by oil. Not as crunchy as I’m used to, but delicious all the same.
Overall this is a great appliance. If you’re not using your oven to cook several dishes at once this is great. Also good as a backup if you’re needing to cook at different temperatures.

I’ve been using the LG NeoChef Microwave Oven for a few months now and it has made my life so much easier. I am able to steam / heat up / roast and defrost so quick and easily now without turning on my extremely large oven for a small amount of food. It’s particularly made my life easy for all the meals i prepare for my son which only require a small amount as well. Would highly recommend this product to anyone.

I didn’t buy my LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Oven in-store so I was surprised at how big it is. If you have a small kitchen (like me) make sure you enough benchspace because the instructions say that it can’t be built in. You must allow 8cm space all the way around.
With plenty of room on the inside it is well suited to family-sized meals and it could replace having a built-in oven altogether because it is more than “just” a microwave. It is convection so you can grill and crisp meals too.
It plays a very cute tune when the timer is up and it will play again if you forget to take something out of the microwave within an allotted time.
I have found that on the Sensor function that my meals have been warmed perfectly all the way through without being too hot. It is perfect eating temperature.

I had to bake two cakes for my twin daughters’ first birthday party last week, and I was able to do everything in this microwave. Baking cakes, softening butter to make icing, melting chocolate and cream to make ganache, and re-warming the ganache periodically to keep it runny without it burning. And they turned out really well (if I do say so myself). 🙂

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.
