  • Such a great microwave! Will buy again!

    I bought this microwave for my family as we needed to replace an old broken one. I think it looks really nice and is easy to use and clean. Unfortunately we lost it in the recent floods but I will re-purchase when we have enough money as we really liked it.

  • LG

    I just continue to love using this Microwave and just have to share the results with this community. Our old microwave was so hard to clean and just never seemed to heat evenly. We are so happy to have a microwave oven that cleans easily and smells good and heats evenly. Happy with results every single time. I give the LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Oven five stars!

  • Such a time saver!

    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!

  • Who Knew?

    Some more great microwave uses! LG NeoChef is not just good for food guys, it can do all kind of wonderful things, like make brown sugar usable again once it is rock hard, warm up towels, get more juice from citrus fruit… The list goes on! Take a look at this site and see what you can learn. For me it was a revelation. The pics are funny too as they are a bit old school and home done… Here is one of the pics, and here is the link too: http://www.viralnova.com/what-microwaves-can-do/
    Does anyone have any more tips to share?

  • LG NeoChef Bacon...

    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

  • Eggs in the microwave!

    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!

  • Wireless Interruption

    Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this or had the same problem but my hubby’s computer is in our kitchen area and he uses a wireless headset. When the microwave is being used it must interrupt his signal and no one can hear him. Turned on and not being used it’s not a problem.

  • Cannot manage without!

    We made a chocolate self saucing pudding in our LG NeoChef! Oh my gosh, not only was it delicious but it was ready in no time at all! I cannot stand when the cake gets dry in the microwave but the LG kept it light and fluffy and perfectly cooked! And even though my four year old managed to spill some when he put the bowl in I was able to clean it so easily!

    I can’t express how much I love the NeoChef!

  • So easy to clean!

    As a busy mum I am always looking for easier ways of doing things, especially cleaning! My husband recently re-heated a meal in the microwave, without covering the food and made a terrible mess, but much to my surprise the mess was so easy to clean up. Just a quick wipe over and it looked like new again! Less time cleaning always makes for a happier household. Love this product!

  • Minor cons

    I am absolutely loving my Neochef Smart Inverter microwave! If I had to pick it to pieces I can really only come up with 2 petty cons on my list. 1- I wish it came in white. While I love the stainless steel with 2 small children and my microwave sitting below the bench it shows their grotty finger prints. 2- the majority of the feature buttons are only accessible with the door open. I just aren’t used to that so I keep having to open the door to adjust heat settings etc. See pretty petty cons on my list huh! Overall I think it’s a fantastic microwave and I’ve been highly recommending it to my family and friends!

  • Steaming and Re-Heating!

    To some, it may be just a baby potato or broccoli or honey carrots, but when you are able to steam veggies without nukeing them beyond recognition, the LG NeoChef is amazing at steaming veggies. There are no hot spots, meaning half the broccoli is burnt to crisp at one end and raw at the other. This also applies to reheating, it heats evenly so that your whole plate is warm and not piping hot on the edges and freezing cold in the middle!

  • Dessert had never been so good

    So I made cake i. a cup for deserts , I’ve previously made these with my old microwave , but could only cook one at a time , because they would cook unevenly … Well I put five in the the same time in the lg Neo
    chef, and they were all cooked perfectly , consistently was amazing .. So desert was served up a matter of mins .. The bright light assists me in keeping an eye on the cooking process too … Sorry I forgot to take a photo or rather I was not quick enough with my camera , because they were eaten up to quickly ..

  • Life is a dream a melted chocolate dream

    OMG WOW
    Melted chocolate so easy. Loved it. Done to perfection not over done. And popcorn well not a singke burnt peice for the first time in my life. Baked spuds were a dream to whip up and left the kids asking for more…..
    This priveledge of being able to trial this microwave has certainly been a great experience. And an eye opener to how great LG are in microwave technology. The only downside or negative i have found during the entire product reveiw has been the lack of timer on the appliance. Which i heavily relied on when baking. But apart feom that this has been a brilliant addition to our household.

  • Love, love LOVE this appliance!

    I would like to thank Mouths of Mums for giving me the opportunity to review this device. I was sent a free LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Convection Oven in exchange for at least four reviews. This will be my third of the four published to both my own blog, as well as to the Mouths of Mums site.

    Please note that my rating for this product may change in each review as I get to know the device more, learn the tips and tricks and so on. For now, the rating is 4 out of 5.

    Hoooo Nelly! Remind me to never try and review something this awesome at one of the busiest times of the year! Christmas, New Year, my Eldest’s birthday, head colds, school holidays! Wow. I am a week behind on my reviews for The Beast and I do apologise now.

    I have been using it though and, yup, still loving that baby!

    So, what did I try and do with it for week three? Well, I proved some more bread and made monkey bread – though I didn’t bake the bread in it as I cooked it at my folks as part of a family get together. I will try that another day… soon!

    When it comes to proving dough, the LG NeoChef is AMAZING! Perfect every time! Even with my dodgy past its ‘best before’ date yeast works in it. When it comes to proving yeast dough it was always hit and miss for me, even with my Thermo mat (from Thermomix). As the weather here in the Adelaide hills can be temperamental at the best of times and, over the past twelve months, has often been referred to as bi-polar… and that’s not far off. We have boiling hot and dry days, followed by freezing cold dry days that build back up into hot, humid days, followed by rain for a week… Crazy weather! And for those who prove dough on a regular basis, you know how you need just the right level of heat and humidity to prove bread to its best. And, well, I’d given up trying to be honest as the weather just didn’t play fair.

    In steps The Beast with its Proving setting and ta da! My troubles are over, I can go back to making bread for my family daily and know I will get the perfect prove each time. I can then make giant focaccia, pizza pocket buns, savoury or sweet scrolls – it’s all on offer. Both wheat and wheat free as, well the LG NeoChef is just SO GOOD at proving!

    Better yet, if you then go on to bake the bread in the LG NeoChef – the whole house doesn’t heat up! Huge win!

    In the summer time, when we hit the high 35° C to mid-40° C we tend to eat a lot of cold meals… which, can be boring. But we do it as it’s just so hot and cooking things just heats the place up more.

    That is, until we started using the LG NeoChef! We have been baking, steaming, reheating, all sorts in The Beast and loving it as the house doesn’t heat up at all! Such a bonus at this time of the year.

    Now, I just mentioned steaming right? Want to know what I steamed? Scrambled eggs. Yup, I couldn’t find a recipe for it anywhere but followed the Steamer instructions in the manual for eggs and just changed it a little. I found a bowl that fit under the steam, made up my egg and cream corned mixture and away I went.

    I’m not going to say it came out perfect first time, as it didn’t. I had to cook it on the egg setting twice and stir well in between… but it still turned out really nice. A little over cooked – but not to the rubber yuck texture microwaved scrambled eggs usually get. They were nice… just need tweaking. The only other thing I will say about using the steamer function in this way was that I found it difficult to get the steamer lid off when it was hot, without knocking over the bowl of eggs. I couldn’t take the whole steamer tray out that easily either.

    However, I put these issues down more to where my LG NeoChef is, more than it being a fault with The Beast itself. Mine is located in the corner of a kitchen bench that is too low for me to easily use at the best of times… and so bending, around a corner, and trying to get things in and out is tough… but totally the fault of the user. ????

    Another function I took for a whirl in The Beast is the sensor heating function and made jacket potatoes. Wow! Cooks so quickly, evenly and doesn’t dry it out and make it taste like a microwaved potato… which is weird, as it IS a microwaved potato… instead it just tastes like a baked potato and I am thrilled it was so easy as it’s one of the easiest ways to feed my family in a hurry. Our version of “home takeaway” is bake some potatoes, reheat some homemade bolognaise, and dinner is there. Now I can bake enough potatoes for all of us in under 20 minutes and have them taste like they were baked in my oven for an hour. Yum.

    So, as you can see – still loving the LG NeoChef.

    Would you recommend this product to others?
    Yes I would. But I would keep emphasising it isn’t “just a microwave” it is an… well, it’s an everything! It really does help you cook from scratch for a large family without taking away the nutrients or creativity. Easy to use, so many functions and amazing things – go buy one! ????

    Would I buy this product for myself?
    If my LG NeoChef was to pack it in (touch wood it never does) then yes I would see myself seeking to replace it with the latest version. I don’t see it as owning a microwave anymore, I see it as owning an extremely useful tool that cooks, steams, proves, grills, bakes and reheats. Love, love, LOVE it!

    In summary: NOT a Kitchen Gadget! This truly is an amazing appliance those looking to cook more from scratch for large families should buy. So helpful, so versatile, so easy to use!

    Until next time,

    Janis.

    It was my daughter’s birthday this weekend, I had to soften butter to make buttercream frosting. WOW, the “soften butter” function ACTUALLY softens the butter and doesn’t melt it!

  • Effortless and Simple

    The LG NeoChef Smart Inventor Microwave tick all my boxes and more, all its features really stood out to me, I loved the quality of the design, its very modern and easy with reminders when cooking is finished. After long use the microwave signals with a cooling feature that’s cool it down which is amazing I know as its not going to over heat on me. I cooked up some brownies using the microwave, I used leftover chocolate from christmas and it was so delicious, moist and crunchy around the edges, top alone or with icecream – yum give them a try – you’ll need 5 pieces of toblerone (melted) 80gms butter, 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 1/4 cup caster sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 3/4 cup of all purpose flour. 1 – melt toblerone on melting setting, remove from microwave, melt butter, remove from microwave, add both to a bowl and mix the cocoa powder, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla extract together with blender until all smooth add the flour and mix – spoon batter to a microwave dish and place in microwave for 15 mins or until cooked.

  • Easy to clean

    After continuous use and making a few messes I’m so happy to report how easy it is to clean!
    Even after using it as an oven. Cleaning my old microwave always felt like a chore but not with the NeoChef!
    Any mess just wipes away easily without having to microwave a lemon or use harsh cleaning products.

    Aside from the cleaning it didn’t take long for hubby or the kids to learn how to use the different functions.
    I thought it might be a bit overwhelming but the basic cooking and re heating functions are easy for them to follow.
    They can use it better than the old microwave they were used to!

  • Jacket potatoes

    I just made jacket potatoes in the LG Neochef and it didn’t disappoint! It was so easy to use, with just a piece of paper towel underneath the potatoes and a quick press of the “jacket potato” button, they were off cooking. The potatoes were soft and fluffy inside just as they should be and I didn’t have to guess how long to have them in for as the LG’s sensor function does all the hard work for me. Such a quick, easy side dish that only takes minutes to prepare and cook. I’ll definitely be making these again, yum!

  • Easy peasy 'cake smash' cake

    I made this cake in my Neochef Smart Inverter microwave oven and topped with sweetened whipped cream. I received several complements and most people were shocked when I told them I baked it in my new Neochef microwave. “It’s so light/fluffy/moist”, “it’s really quite delicious”.

    Ingredients:
    100ml sunflower oil, plus extra for pan
    175g caster sugar
    140g plain flour
    3 tsp baking powder
    2 large egg
    1 tsp vanilla essence

    Method:
    Grease a 22cm microwaveable cake pan with a little oil and place a circle of baking parchment in the bottom.
    Mix sugar, flour and baking powder in a bowl. In a jug, whisk the oil, eggs, vanilla and 100ml hot water until combined.
    Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until you have a lump-free batter. Pour mixture into the cake pan and gently tap to pop any air bubbles. Cover with cling film.
    Microwave on 70% power (as recommended in the manual) for 7 minutes.
    The bright lighting within the microwave is so luminous that you can enjoy watching your cake double in size if you so desire. (I did☺️).
    Allow cake to stand for 5 mins, then remove cling film and turn out onto a cooling rack.

    I WILL be using this recipe and my Neochef Smart Inverter microwave to make my girls birthday cakes in a few weeks time!

  • Perfect choc chip muffins

    With the current heatwave I have not wanted to put the oven on. My son had a friend coming over so I decided to try muffins in the microwave. The recipe called for melted butter so first of all I was able to use the melt function. I loved that it melted the butter evenly and didn’t get it too hot, so you didn’t have hot butter popping in your face and I could then add it to whisked eggs without cooking the eggs. I cooked 5 muffins at a time and they only took 2mins at 80% power. The muffins were cooked evenly the whole way through and were moist. My son said they tasted like brownies, moist and chocolaty. I will definitely use the neo chef again for baking muffins. It made it so quick and easy and a great final product too.

  • still impressed. ..still amazed

    So its been a few weeks now and im still i love with my special ‘Neo’ After trialling in every way possible and showing it off to friends and family i can not fault it in any way. Clean up is a breeze with 1 simple wipe out the job is done! The only thing im yet to trial is the yogurt proofing but at the moment that inst a mahor need or wamt for e. The food that I reheat with the reheat function comes out evenly heated and no soggy bits. We have tried to test Neo to the limits but it just will not dissapoint. My mother in law actually brought one as she was already looking and after listeni ng to me ramble on she has purchased one also, she made a delicious banana loaf and noone could tell it was a microwavable dessert!! Well done mouth of mums and LG!! Great product 🙂

  • Experience required for accurate power calculations

    I decided to cook lemon delicious for dessert. The recipe stated to cook for 8 minutes on full power. Knowing that the Neochef Smart Inverter microwave has a high 1200w of power and cakes are recommended to be cooked at 70% power, I hoped that those 2 changes would balance each other and cook the dessert to perfection, but additional time was required to cook it completely. It just goes to show that even though you can control so many variables that experience and human input help maximize automated processes.

  • Proofing function

    I tried the yoghurt recipe from the recipe section of the manual. After reading over the recipe I thought it was very easy to make and was looking forward to trying it. The steps were all easy to follow and I left the yoghurt to proof in the microwave. This takes 5 hours. I didn’t plan the timing so well as I was still proofing the yoghurt when I needed to make didn’t, which involved using the microwave to defrost chicken. So you really need to make the yoghurt when you don’t need to use the microwave for the 5 hours the yoghurt needs to proof. After the yoghurt was finished in the microwave I put it in the fridge to chill overnight. I was very excited to see if the yoghurt had worked. But it was not a nice consistency at all. It looked like the yogurt had split and the thicker part was very lumpy, like cottage cheese. It smelt like yogurt and tasted like yoghurt but sadly it just went in the bin. I will try it again with a different yoghurt base. Even though the yoghurt didn’t work, I like the idea of the yoghurt proofing function. I am going to try up use it to proof dough, and see if it works for that.

  • I love it so much!

    This microwave is amazing!!! I use it multiple times a day for
    different things but ive said WOW 3 times now!
    The first was sterilizing my baby bottles and the fan stayed on until the mic was dry! Preventing rust omg
    Second defrosting steak.
    It did not cook the edges of the frozen steak. It came out the way it went in the freezer. Perfect!

    Last night i took the ice-cream out of the deep freezer. Rock solid! Impatient! I put it in the mic on Soften setting for 2 mins and OMG! No watery melted ice cream on the edges with rock hard centre. No! The whole tub was perfection like when you buy it. Frozen but soft enough to dig the spoon right down.
    I couldnt believe it! My partner was so amazed. Best microwave ever.

In my 16 years as a mum, I’ve learnt a thing or two about time savers and time suckers. For instance, looking for misplaced footy boots, school books or chargers is a complete time sucker. On the flip side, the ultimate time savers are the unsung heroes of the home – the clever appliances that make everyday tasks simple.

Westinghouse appliances are the masters at freeing up busy families to have more time to do what they love (or look for those missing footy boots – FYI they’re usually in the car!).

Keep It Cool, With A Friendly Fridge

Just like mums and dads, fridges are absolute workhorses of the family, but do you just ever wish your fridge could just get what it’s like to be busy? The game-changing Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB) is a bit of a mind-reader. It just knows what a family needs! The FlexSpace Fully Convertible Drawer does whatever you need it to.

With the touch of a button you can chill drinks, freeze meat or store deli meats for school lunches, with five different settings. No need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back. We also love, love, love the Dual Freezer Storage which gives that much-needed extra space.

Whether it’s storing leftovers, freezing, or controlling humidity, this fridge is happy to help the family keep its cool. Literally.

Make Dinner A Sprint, Not A Marathon

One of the most hectic times of the day revolves around getting dinner on the table for the hungry hoards. It’s usually a race against the clock in between sport, dance and music but with the Westinghouse 60cm multi-function pyrolytic oven (WVEP6918DD) fast heat up time it means dinner is cooking in record time. And with the ability to air fry frozen food without defrosting and clean itself using PyroClean it means there’s more time for catching up with the kids in between school and activities. It almost like having your own sous chef. Another Westinghouse appliance that’s happy to help!

Less Dish Stress

My family know I absolutely hate a sink that’s overflowing with dirty dishes. The easier it is for everyone to help, the more likely they’ll do it! Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB) are bursting with features that are all aimed at calming the chaos – with room for up to 15 place settings, fast wash cycles and fast drying – and they’re quiet. Wash overnight, and everyone can pitch in during the morning rush!

More Laundry, Less Time

The never-ending story of my house is The Laundry. I’m sure the laundry hampers are bottomless pits which are never truly empty. At least with the Westinghouse 10kg EasyCare 700 Front load washing machine – WWF1044M7SA everything is geared to getting the washing done quicker. Which means you can do more in less time – so good.

The Full Load 60 gets an entire load done in 60 minutes or less. The higher spin speed gets more moisture out of your clothes, which means less drying time, and you can set the timer so the washing is done when you’re ready for it. Everything points to spending a whole lot less time in the laundry!

Dry In No Time

Finally, to the true unsung hero of the house – the dryer. Westinghouse 9kg heat pump dryer (WDH904N7SA) is created to take care of your clothes, while making sure they dry in the quickest time. I love being able to throw a load in the dryer and by the time I’m back from school drop off and ready to start work from home, the clothes and dry!

Whatever you’re doing around the home, Westinghouse is happy to help, by making your life easier so you can spend more time doing the things that matter. Time with our family really is precious and goes by in the blink of an eye. So things like a fast wash, quick freeze and an oven that’s at temperature quickly add up to less stress and more time.
