All-In-One Ovens

Dreaming of an oven that does more? The LG Series 9 60cm InstaView™ Full Steam Oven is a 6-in-1 meal maestro, efficiently balancing being a convection oven, steamer, air fryer, steam sous vide, dehydrator and pizza oven. Perfect for making beef jerky, dried fruits for morning porridge, deliciously cheesy pizzas, family-sized batches of crispy, golden treats… Creating heartwarming eats will be a cinch.

“Multifunction ovens that offer more cooking versatility are becoming increasingly popular with Australian families, especially models with inbuilt air-frying; it’s far and away the most in-demand oven feature right now,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking.

But LG’s all-rounder ovens don’t just equip keen home cooks with endless culinary options. They also bring innovative and time-saving tech to the table. For starters, there’s Blue EasyClean™ – essentially, a 10-minute steam clean for your oven; and InstaView™ – a top-rated feature that allows you to check on your cooking progress without opening the door.

Clever Cooktops

Comfort food should be as easy to cook as it is to consume… so it’s just as well that LG’s up-to-the-minute induction cooktops have been designed with flexible efficiency in mind!

 “LG’s sleek new induction cooktops combine all the very best features that have made induction cooktops such a modern kitchen must-have – and then some,” says Tania Grillinzoni. 

“You can cook a main and all your sides at once on four powerful cooking zones; merge two cooking zones with Flexi Mode to accommodate bigger, family-sized pans; or use Power Boost to get water for pasta boiled in a flash, ready for mac and cheese Mondays.”

Connected Rangehoods

For even more help in the kitchen, LG’s smart rangehoods can clear the air of unwanted cooking fumes and odours, without you having to lift a finger. Simply synchronise your connected LG rangehood to automatically turn on as soon as you start cooking, via the LG ThinQ® app*. How clever is that!

Now for those recipes you’ve been holding out for…

Make it! Poh’s Parmesan & Herb Panko Parma With Mint and Radish Slaw

Chicken schnitty teamed with a zingy slaw? Yes, please! But save yourself the slog of scrubbing out a crusty frying pan afterwards by whipping up Poh’s scrumptious chicken schnitzel recipe in the oven with LG’s built-in Air Fryer mode. (For instructions on how to use this function and recommended cooking times, refer to your oven's product manual.)

Serves 4
Ingredients

For the schnitty:

• 4 chicken breast fillets, each sliced into 3 on a diagonal, following the length to produce flattish pieces
• 1 1/2-2 cups (90g) panko breadcrumbs
• 2-3 tbsp picked thyme
• 1/3  cup chopped parsley
• 1/3 cup (35g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup (75g) plain flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly whisked
• olive oil, for frying

For the slaw:

• 3 Granny Smith apples, cored, quartered, cut into matchsticks
• 4 radishes, top and tailed, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 large celery stalk, thinly sliced
• 3 spring onion stalks, finely sliced (optional)
• 1/2 cup torn mint, tightly packed

For the dressing:

• 1/3  cup sour cream
• 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp freshly cracked pepper
• salt, to taste
• 4 lemon cheeks, to serve

Method

1. With a rolling pin, bash each piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap until about 7mm thick all over.
2. To make the crumb, place the breadcrumbs, thyme, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl and mix. Place the flour and egg in separate bowls.
3. Thoroughly dust each piece of chicken with flour, then coat well in egg. Press into the crumb mix, coating each side carefully, then gently lay the chicken pieces on a baking tray or dinner plate – they can be piled on top of one another.
4. Spray an oven tray with oil. (Use an oil that can be heated to a high point before smoking, such as avocado, peanut or sunflower oil). Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the tray and slide it into the oven on rack 3 position. Cook for 20-27 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, to make the slaw, combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until required.
6. To make the dressing, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper at the last minute and set aside.
7. Divide the chicken, slaw and lemon cheeks onto individual plates to serve. Alternatively, pile it all up on a large dish for your diners to help themselves. Serve the dressing on the side so the schnitzels stay crunchy.

Poh’s top tip: A blunt or serrated knife will make fruit and vegetables turn brown quicker, so always work with a freshly sharpened one and you’ll burst fewer cells during prep. Salt or citrus juice will also help retard oxidation – sprinkle or splash a little of either over the cut apple (but don’t do this too far ahead of time as it will eventually go brown).

Make It! Yeow Family Fried Rice

When it comes to comfort food, it doesn’t get much better than tucking into a steaming bowl of flavourful fried rice. Poh’s delicious chicken fried rice recipe serves two, but we recommend doubling the ingredients to feed your brood. And with LG’s Flexi Mode induction cooktop function, there’s plenty of room for your biggest wok. For beautifully crisp rice, cook your rice the day before and chill it overnight.

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) jasmine rice, cooked and refrigerated overnight
• 1/4  cup (60ml) vegetable or peanut oil
• 2 medium brown onions, finely chopped
• 2 lap cheong (Chinese sausage), sliced 3mm thick
• 1 chicken breast fillet (about 250g), diced into 1cm cubes
• 200g peeled uncooked prawn flesh, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup (80g) frozen peas
• 1/2 cup (80g) carrot, diced into 5mm cubes
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1/2 tsp white pepper, or to taste
• 3 large free-range eggs, lightly beaten
• Pinch of sugar

Method

1. In a wok, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion for 2 minutes or until tender and brown.
2. Add the lap cheong and stir-fry for 1 minute to render off some of the fat.
3. Add the chicken breast and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked.
4. Add the prawns, peas and carrot and stir-fry for 1 minute or until the prawns are just cooked.
5. Add the cold cooked rice, soy sauce, salt and white pepper and stir-fry until the grains of rice are separate and tender.
6. Make a well in the middle of the rice by pushing the rice to the edges of the wok. Pour the eggs into the well but don’t stir for about 10 seconds. With an egg flip, flip the egg over. It should be nice and brown. Repeat this process until the egg looks nearly cooked.
7. Break the egg into small pieces using the egg flip. Stir the egg through the rice, add the sugar and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
