  • 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!

  • Easy Cheesy nacho goodness

    Out and about with my little man today and needed to bring something home for lunch for hubby and I. Little dude decided to loose his cool just as I got to the grocery store. Of course!
    So racking my brain for something quick easy and relatively healthy to have for lunch I stumbled across the tortilla chips. Perfect! Nachos it was
    A few minutes later, a few more ingredients later we were at the checkouts and on our way home.
    Hubby and I were both impressed that after a minute of assembling the chips, beans, salsa and of course the cheese, it only took 1 minute on full power to have perfectly melted cheese without sending the tortillas soggy and not making the beans and salsa scolding hot!
    Delicious and will definitely keep this as a go-to for quick meals!
    I took a before pic, but was so keen to eat I forgot to take an after. Although I can tell you it looked as good as it tasted!!

  • still impressed. ..still amazed

    So its been almost a month since I received my ‘christmas present’ from Mouth of Mums & LG and Ive been wowed from the beginning!! It has amazed me from the beginning.. Firstly appearance; The microwave is a sleek modern design, It looks like its quite bigger then most microwaves but i can not fault the appearance in anyway.
    Secondly- Setup and the instructions; When i plugged it in i thought id be working it out for months to come but within minutes it was all worked out!! There is nothing confusing about the instructions or the use of this microwave.. its very simple and everything is clearly understandably.
    Lastly- Using the microwave; Easy, Easy, Easy!!! Im just wowed with how simple it is to use.. ive melted chocalate and the sensor functions is able to correctly stop when fish which is incredible, the sensor in the microwave takes away the guess work.. no more trying to work out how long to cook stuff for, it stops when cooked! One of my first items to cook was assorted veggies, I put them in and left it up to ‘Neo’ to tell me when they were ready and gosh.. . They were PERFECT!! over christmas my Neo got a real work out and its safe to say ive tested it to the max. I wven had a family go and purchase one because they were so impressed!! Thanks M.o.Ms & LG!! I LOVE MY NEO!!

  • Heats up baby food perfectly

    This morning I was worried that even the lowest setting might be too much for heating up mashed potatoes for my son, but the microwave heated it up PERFECTLY!

    SO soft and still fluffy all the way through, made it so quick and easy to do and the clean up was minimal!

    Tonight I am defrosting some frozen meals and can’t wait to try it again!

    I still can’t believe how slick the design of the microwave is, it really suits any space it sits in, and there is smart diagnostic settings on it as well to send to customer service if need be. A great product that I highly recommend to anyone.

  • The Christmas Test!

    As we all know, Christmas is a busy time and the LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Oven made this time of year so much easier. I love baking and I made chocolate Christmas pudding this year so I got us the “melt” function and it is simply brilliant! For both butter and chocolate. The butter didn’t spit everywhere and the chocolate didn’t burn. One happy baker here!!

  • Even defrosting and cooking

    I was quite impressed with the even defrosting of the bacon slices that I pulled straight out of our freezer however I did find it a slight inconvenience to have to get out the scales to weigh how much the bacon weighed before I could set it to defrost, as I had previously separated the bacon into usable bundles of unknown weight.

    I found that the bacon was not entirely defrosted once I had entered in the rounded-down weight, but after I put it in for an extra bit of defrost time it was defrosted without the edges being cooked. Excellent.

    The bacon was then cooked in the LG Neochef microwave, without creating dry edges. Wondeful.

    Add in poached eggs = breakfast perfection!

  • Perfect cooking through modifiable power setting

    I love cooking chicken in the microwave. I cooked a whole chicken a few weeks ago in my old microwave oven and the meat was a little overcooked so I was a little concerned about overcooking it again this time simply because the LG Neochef microwave oven sports a higher wattage. However the modifiable power settings enabled controlled heating and the chicken was cooked to perfection….moist on the outside and cooked all the way through.

  • My second review - still loving the LG NeoChef Smart Inverter!

    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 second 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.

    Apologies for my second review being late, these things called Christmas and the New Year got in the road. 😉

    So what have I been up to? Well, a few things actually and I am simply LOVING what my new ‘Beast’ (my pet name for my new kitchen baby) can do.

    Firstly I tried to make yoghurt and was originally rather disappointed. Proving yoghurt takes at least 8 hours and I usually make it overnight in my All in One device. But as the Smart Inverter AKA Beast said it could make it too, I gave it a go. As I don’t like leaving ovens and similar devices running all night alone – a quirk of mine no doubt – I made it during the day and so was not only inconvenienced by not having the Beast to use for other things, but the noise it made did get on my nerves rather quickly. I will say here and now that the noise level isn’t too loud, just persistent. Very similar to when using a dehydrator.

    And speaking of dehydrators… the Smart Invertor can be used to dehydrate too! And that’s where I went wrong with my yoghurt. After proving it for 8 hours I then put it in the fridge for 24 hours to cool – like I always do when making yoghurt. Annnd… after 24 hours it was still very runny and watery, but tasted like a yummy dairy free yoghurt all the same.

    A failure? I had thought so, until I went to prove some pizza dough in the Beast the following day and realised, when making the yoghurt, I’d had it on Slow Cook setting 2 – dehydrate! Not Slow Cook setting 3 – Prove! It will mean I have to spend another day making my dairy free yoghurt in the Smart Inverter, just to ensure it was my at fault, but I can honestly say I do find using my All in One easier for yoghurt making.

    I will say, however, that the runny and watery yoghurt tasted really nice and we simply couldn’t waste it. So put it, some over-ripe bananas, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries and tinned lychees into my Thermomix and blitzed up some gorgeously purple breakfast smoothies. Tasted amazing! No dairy, no gluten/wheat, no added sugar (just the fruit) and all gone in a matter of minutes!

    So I see that as a win win personally!

    Due to my hordes nagging me, I also bought some potato gems and cooked them in the Beast. I am not a fan of this sort of pre-made thing, but it was part of putting the Smart Inverter through its paces and so I did. I cooked them following the instructions in the manual (the cook book that comes with the Smart Inverter is near useless) and did it twice in one week. Both times came out perfectly cooked, evenly cooked and just as easy – maybe even easier – than doing it in the wall over. Also not as noisy or hit and miss in its cooking (or time consuming) as in my airfryer. Didn’t heat up the house and kids were super happy. I really must try it now with homemade chips and see if just as successful!

    The only other thing I’ve had a chance to try in my Smart Inverter was pizza. At first I just wanted to prove some yeasty dough and was then going to make it into an old style Lardy cake… but lunch time was approaching, I had a house full of hungry hordes and not much else on offer. So I checked my giant pizza dish fitted in the Beast (that’s a 13 inch diameter pizza pan) and it did! So I put the dough on it (gorgeously fluffy from its proving), smeared on extra virgin olive oil, herbs and some salami and mozzarella cheese. Put it in on the pizza cooking setting and left it do its thing.

    Yes the dough used was probably two thirds more than the recipe that comes with the Smart Inverter, but it cooked through, puffing up more like a giant focaccia than a pizza. But it was cooked all the way through, cooked evenly and my kids, hubby and visiting family members loved it and want me to it again – often!

    So another win to the Smart Inverter.

    Other than these minor experiments, I have been trying to find if there is a way to cook popcorn in the Smart Inverter using the Crisp Tray and Steam dome… I even asked Mouths of Mums via Facebook message but couldn’t find the recipe anywhere and got no reply (but it was Christmas and the New Year after all). So that is the downside I have to the Smart Inverter… I don’t feel that confident just yet to experiment with it like I do other devices as I am terribly worried about breaking it – I love my beast too much!

    Though I have gained some confidence after both the yoghurt and pizza so can see myself just going for it one of these days. It can’t be any worse that popcorn in an airfryer, right? And that is still a laugh!

    For now I can honestly say I am LOVING the Smart Inverter and have hardly used any of my other cooking devices since then. Making pizza in it didn’t heat up the whole house like my wall oven would have – a huge bonus when summer gets so hot – and it reheats food faster and more evenly than my old microwave… which is now looking for a new home as the Beast is here to stay! 🙂

    Would I recommend this device to others?

    Yes I would, I have already been making friends and family jealous when listing all the things it can do and all the things I have made – and plan on making with it. I do feel, thanks to the lack of recipes and support that come with the Smart Inverter that it is better suited to someone who has had a similar device before. This is not a Beast for a new cook or someone who needs their handheld throughout the cooking process. The Smart Inverter is definitely not for the inexperienced.

    Would I buy this device for myself?

    The price still daunts me… but so far it is worth it as the Smart Inverter is so many different devices in one you really are saving money when buying one as it replaces pretty much everything else!

    In summary – A heavenly helper sent to help those into whole food cooking make food faster, easier and for more people. Loving it!

  • Cooking in the microwave

    I’m not huge on cooking in my microwave but that’s until I started using my new neo chef microwave. I made the cake in the mug and the kids loved it and I made jacket potatoes and they were delicious. It was so easy to do and I’m starting to look for more adventurous meals to make using it. The only only thing I would be mindful of is the power strength of this microwave and any old recipes and making sure you adjust it accordingly.

  • Defrosting Made Easy

    We rely on our microwave alot for defrosting meat, and meals that we have stored frozen in the deep freeze. We all know how difficult it can be to defrost meat evenly in the microwave without partially cooking some parts and leaving others frozen. My LG Neochef has made defrosting meat easy. You select defrost, select the type of meat, and the weight, and it does the rest for you! Chiming intermittently to remind you to turn it over or give it a bit of a stir. We love it!

  • Great "Soften" and "Melt" Feature

    ’tis the season for baking, and my LG Neochef has been the perfect sidekick! It’s been much to hot to leave the butter on the bench to make sure it is soft enough to bake when I finally get around to it, so the soften feature has been a godsend! It has worked perfectly, softening the butter with perfection each time I need it, without melting to the point of no return!
    The Melt function has come in super handy when making truffles and chocolate mousse, as it has allowed me to melt my chocolate to a creamy mess without burning it which we all know can be done all to easily!

  • No smell!

    Cooked some fish in the microwave today and there was literally no smel lingering afterwards! I can’t believe how easy it is to use, and the design that it has with the handle means that my little one can’t actually open it as easily which makes it safer. I defrosted some frozen sausage rolls and they literally look just like the way I cooked them! So amazing. And I think the sensor cook setting was pretty good, my previous microwave used to reheat with hot spots and I would worry that my food would burn with the sensor cook setting but this microwave has been great!

  • Musical melodies make dinners easy

    I cooked meatloaf in my Neochef microwave for the minimum suggested time to account for the powerful 1200w. The result was moist, evenly cooked meatloaf cooked in a fraction of the time it would take in a conventional oven. The best part was the reminder chime that rings every minute after cooking has finished because I used it to time the meatloaf resting phase and to coordinate when to take it out and pop in the vegies. I dished it all up for a fuss-free, quick, homemade tasty dinner.

  • Hard Ice Cream - NeoChef Will Fix It...

    One of the biggest hassles my children have is the ice cream bends the spoons it is that hard LOL. Thanks to LG NeoChef that is no longer an issue. It has the wonderful ability to ‘nuke’ the ice cream to a perfect texture and does not make it turn to liquid like my old one. The easy to press buttons, and great lighting make it a breeze!

  • Keeping Warm With LG Smart Inverter Microwave Oven

    I have to say, I love the keep warm function, it is so easy to use!
    I occasionally have to keep a meal warm and, in the past have had so much trouble trying to keep one warm, I mean, how do you keep a meal warm?
    Normally I would have to reheat in my old microwave, which would just result in coking the food more and drying it out, making it inedible, my only other option was to use the oven to keep it warm, while this worked. I would often end up with the same result of dried out food and a super hot plate, with the help of LG and the magic it has now put into my Smart Inverter Microwave Oven, I am able to just select the keep warm option and the microwave takes care of the rest, life is just that little bit easier and food is edible now, thanks LG!

  • Christmas Day Life Saver!

    My LG Smart Inverter Microwave Oven saved me on Christmas day, my guests had started to arrive, I had the ham glazed and cooked to perfection, three Christmas puddings made, Christmas slice made, with the help of my LG smart inverter microwave oven, sides all prepared, again with the help of my LG smart inverter microwave oven, salads all made and, just as I was preparing to move food to the table, I realised the unthinkable – “Where were the potatoes?”
    Thanks to LG and my smart inverter microwave oven, I was able to whip up perfectly cooked jacket potatoes in a small amount time, Christmas lunch as completed perfectly and all my guests were happy, and what perfect opportunity to show off my LG Smart Inverter Microwave Oven.

  • First impressions

    So my LG NeoChef microwave has arrived and I would like to share my initial thoughts. Firstly, it is a very sleek looking mircrowave and looks great in my kitchen. I love the touch buttons and that the dial pushes in when you don’t need to use it. Although, it gets fingerprints on it easily and the front door is needing cleaning more often. After a read of the manual there are many features that I can’t wait to use. Being a bit of a baker I am impressed that it has a soften and melt option for butter, cream cheese and chocolate. I am looking forward to trying the yoghurt function and some of the recipes in the book. I am also liking the fact that it has the Antibacterial Easyclean surface, the musical chime instead of beeps when finished cooking is a nice touch and I like that the instructions of different modes is hidden behind the front door for ease of use.
    I am super excited to start using it and will post my next review once o have used more functions.

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.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 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.
