But not all rangehoods will work with all types of kitchens, which is why we’ve looked the NEFF rangehood range, and how they can help with your kitchen transform. Let’s start with the look The rangehoods of the past were bulky, loud, and unattractive appliances. But a NEFF rangehood is the opposite – exuding style and flair while promoting cleanliness in your kitchen. The NEFF Flex Design range features the inclined rangehood, which is a sleek overhead rangehood that has trims in four distinct colours. This flexible design allows you to effortlessly change the trimmings on your rangehood (and other NEFF appliances!) to match your rangehood with your NEFF oven, cooktop and kitchen style. On top of that, the NEFF inclined rangehood comes with some nifty features to boot. The automatic air sensor adjusts the rangehood’s power level automatically based on the amount of steam and smells that are produced when you’re cooking. This allows you to just focus on your cooking and let the rangehood take care of the steam and smells for you. With a wide, touchscreen display and sleek coloured trimmings, the inclined rangehood oozes big ‘I know what I’m doing’ energy. But if subtlety is more your style, the NEFF integrated rangehood in stainless steel is modern and aesthetically versatile – perfect for all kitchen styles. Light up your life Lights are an underappreciated feature of a rangehood and can change the entire feel of your kitchen. If you prefer moodier kitchen lighting but don’t want to sacrifice the function of bright lighting over your food preparation area, then quality rangehood lighting might be the solution you need. From the powerful 3 LED configuration of the wall-mounted models to the 2 LED configuration, NEFF rangehood downlights give more scope to how you can set up your kitchen lighting. Do away with white light in the kitchen – by using focused bright light on your food prep area, you can leave your kitchen lighting to set the mood. Extreme extraction Extraction is the main job of a rangehood, and if it’s performing well, you should forget it’s even there. It’s not until you have a bad rangehood that you notice it – haze that won’t clear, smoke from a sizzling steak that sets off the alarm, the smell of burnt onion from a chicken biryani that lingers for days. Not to mention the noise, which is sometimes enough to drive guests out of the kitchen altogether. With high-performance extraction, the NEFF inclined rangehood deals with all the by-products of your kitchen creations, with minimal noise. The NEFF inclined rangehood also has the power boost feature, which allows you to set a defined extraction boost position to increase the catch-rate of pungent cooking smells and large amounts of steam. The next step up from a rangehood is integrated ventilation in a cooktop, such as the NEFF vented cooktop. This two-in-one appliance is perfect for the minimalist kitchen that is being designed for total appliance integration and island cooktops, with no overhead rangehood required. Help to remove excess heat While rangehoods are designed to provide ventilation to your kitchen, an added benefit is the removal of excess heat. When a rangehood removes smoke and steam from your kitchen, it also removes heat from the space. As the fan sucks up steam, smoke, and hot air from your kitchen, it gets pushed out of your home through a duct or is recirculated into the space with a slight cooling effect. While a rangehood isn’t a replacement for air conditioning or a fan, it can help transform a steamy kitchen into a more comfortable cooking space. Rangehoods are a good investment If you’re trying to sell your home, it’s a good idea to make sure your kitchen is up to date. An attractive kitchen with modern appliances adds major resale value to your home, and choosing the right rangehood can make a big difference in the look and feel of your kitchen, meaning you’ll more than likely see a good return on this investment. Too often perceived as an afterthought in kitchen design, the rangehood makes an impact in the kitchen in a powerful way, both in terms of design and function. Factor rangehood design into your kitchen build or renovation with NEFF. Book a free product demonstration today to see a NEFF rangehood in person. Our NEFF kitchen experts will show you just how easy they are to use and how valuable they are for any kitchen.

A warm roast lamb or stuffed chicken are perfect dishes to serve up on a cold, wintery night. But getting the temperature of the meat or poultry right can be hard when you’re juggling the sides, stirring sauces and preparing dessert at the same time. Luckily, NEFF has a smart device that monitors the core temperature of your meat or poultry and controls the oven temperature accordingly – the Multi Point Meat Probe. All you need to do is punch in your ideal internal temperature and your oven will do the rest, including turning itself off when the meat is cooked just right. This is important when you are trying to master recipes like a mouth-watering beef wellington, crispy baked snapper or even a roasted salmon. Read on to discover three great recipes to test your Multi Point Meat Probe on. Did you know… The Multi Point Meat Probe comes with the Slide & Hide® ovens that are part of the new NEFF Flex Design range. This means you can choose from four different colours to add a finishing touch that matches your kitchen’s aesthetic and get a perfect cook on your meat time and again – a win-win for home cooks! Beef Wellington If you really want to make a statement at your next dinner party, you should try this beef wellington. The beef fillet is cooked in a golden puff pastry, creating the perfect centrepiece for your dinner table. The key to a great beef wellington is a juicy red centre which is difficult to achieve without closely monitoring the temperature of the meat. To get the perfect consistency, preheat the oven on Circo Therm® to 170°C with Power Boost. Then insert Multi Point Meat Probe into the centre of the beef, which should be on the third shelf in your oven, and set the probe’s temperature to 55ºC to 60°C and connect the device to your oven. Roast Turkey It doesn’t have to be Christmas to enjoy this roast turkey for dinner. In fact, this decadent meat can be enjoyed year-round. However, it is notoriously difficult to master which means many people give up without trying. The NEFF Multi Point Meat Probe makes cooking a turkey easy by controlling the temperature so you can retain moisture and avoid the dreaded dryness. Simply select Circo Therm® at 160°C, set your Multi Point Meat Probe to hit the core temperature of 75°C and press start. Chicken Enchiladas Want to spice up dinnertime with some cinnamon, paprika and allspice? Then try our chicken enchiladas that are easy to make, simple to customise and loved by the whole family. Once wrapped in tortillas it can be challenging to monitor the progress of your meat cooking in the oven. But this is easy to do using your Multi Point Meat Probe. Insert the device into the largest piece of chicken, set the core temperature to 70°C on Circo Roasting® and use Full Steam to prepare a mouth-watering mid-week meal that brings the authentic flavours of Mexico to your home kitchen.

Whether it’s eating a spicy eggplant curry or whipping up a Thai green curry, having coconut rice as a side can truly elevate any dish. Packed full of flavour and only requiring a handful of ingredients, coconut rice is a simple side you can make to enhance the flavours in your curry. And making this delicious side dish is incredibly easy when you cook it in a NEFF Slide & Hide® oven with Full Steam. Not only does the oven steam the rice to perfection, but the fully disappearing door makes it convenient to remove and serve. You can also use the Intensive Steam function, which allows you to cook with steam at 120ºC and speed up the cooking process, like cooking rice in a microwave, while maintaining the nutrition and flavour of the rice. And the higher steam temperature also ensures a dryer oven, which reduces any extra moisture. What type of rice do you need to use to make coconut rice? For the most authentic coconut rice you’ll want to use the Jasmine variety. Originally from Thailand, it is best suited for the types of recipes that coconut rice would pair well with – such as green curries. Alternatively, other fragrant long grain rice varieties like Basmati, also work well as a substitute. How to make coconut rice This recipe makes approximately four serves of coconut rice. Ingredients 100 g Jasmine rice 200 ml water 2 tbsp shredded coconut 1 tsp palm sugar 1 tsp salt Method Combine rice, water, shredded coconut, sugar and salt in a small stainless steel tray. Place tray in your NEFF Full Steam oven and set timer for 20 minutes and press start. Once finished, cover rice with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Use a fork to fluff up your rice before serving. How to serve your coconut rice Coconut rice is best served warm. Allow it to rest in the same pot you used to cook it and aim to start making it about 25 minutes before you want to serve it. If you’re making a feast and have a lot going on in the kitchen, it can be prepared in advance and reheated in the microwave just fine. The soothing coconut flavours of your coconut rice pair beautifully with spicy dishes, so serve it up with your curries – particularly those with flavours from Southeast Asia, like green curries. It also makes a great side dish for Caribbean and Hawaiian flavours, including jerk chicken-style dishes.

Can you imagine the days when our ancestors had to cook everything over an open fire and coals? Nowadays, we’ve got fancy dials, thermometers, and state-of-the-art meat probes to monitor our cooking temperatures, helping us make the perfect home-cooked meal. Even though we have all of this handy technology, there are still some myths and misconceptions about the perfect cooking temperature  – do you really have to follow the recipe’s instructions? Can you turn the oven up to bake your dish faster? Does it really matter if you open the oven door? We’ve got all the answers you need. Why is having the correct oven temperature so important? Even a mere 20°C can make a huge impact on your meal’s success. If you’ve ever baked a cake in an oven that’s too hot, you’ll know how frustrating it is to watch the crust burn while the batter on the inside stays gooey. No matter the complexity of your dish, like this simple flourless almond cake with white chocolate ganache, or your oven type, like a combination oven, you must always follow your instructions to the letter (or number) if you don’t want to see another baking disaster. Plus, using the right oven temperature can help you work out baking times, which can be helpful if you’re entertaining guests and want to time your cook perfectly. With the new NEFF Flex Design range, you can get a 6.8-inch touch display that allows you to effortlessly adjust the temperature through the touch pad or with traditional dials to ensure that your cooking temperature is accurate and precise. Why should you follow the oven instructions in the recipe? Recipe instructions for the cooking temperature take the guesswork out of home cooking. They’ve been tried and tested to bring out the best flavours and textures in your dish. And while there might be a bit of flexibility when it comes to roasting potatoes, when it comes to baking breads and cakes the temperature is really key. So, if your cake recipe suggests a baking temperature of 160°C, stick to it. Turning it down to 140°C will give you sunken, dense cakes. And unfortunately, 180°C won’t help cook it faster – it’ll just deliver rocks for tea. Cooking tip: Using the Circo Therm® as part of your baking can help heat up your NEFF oven faster and achieve a perfectly even bake, no matter what you’re cooking up. What tools can you use to help monitor your oven temperature? Having a thermometer on hand can help monitor your oven temperature, just in case things get out of hand or need to change at any point. This is especially the case for a lot of meat based recipes, such as more sensitive recipes, like a medium-rare lamb that usually needs an internal meat temperature of between 60–65°C, or a roast chicken recipe that calls for a core temperature of around 75–80°C. NEFF’s Multi Point Meat Probe can even regulate the oven temperature itself, letting you get on with your sides and desserts. Can you open the oven door while cooking? Every time you do, heat can escape the oven and cause the temperature to drop. This can put your dish at risk of losing that golden, even bake just for a peek. Tricky recipes like choux pastry will be a disaster if you open the oven before they’ve had a chance to rise properly – all the escaped heat and steam will leave your buns a little flat. But you can get guaranteed results without opening your oven with the NEFF Home Connect system. This cooking essential comes with automated recipe settings, so you can pre-set your oven settings and rest assured that your food will cook evenly. How does temperature affect a steam oven? It’s generally less important to monitor your temperature if you’re using a steam oven, as the cooking method usually retains moisture and cooks more gently and evenly. A NEFF Full Steam oven allows you to steam your creations at 120ºC, which not only cooks your food faster but also retains the full flavour and nutrients. And if you’ve got an oven fitted with NEFF’s Added Steam function, injecting some steam into the process can help prevent your recipes from drying out. While steam can be a far gentler method of cooking, it still won’t mean that you can crank up the temperature and cut your cooking time in half. Want to see how a NEFF oven can take your meal to the next level? Then book in a free product demonstration today. Our NEFF kitchen experts will show you how easy it is to manage temperature with the Multi Point Meat Probe and our innovative oven technology. Plus they’ll show you how a NEFF oven can effortlessly tie in with your kitchen’s aesthetic with the new Flex Design range!

Entrées and snacks Serving up an entrée is the perfect way to start your festive fiesta. A salad with goat’s cheese and orange vinaigrette is the perfect entrée for your Christmas meal. The sweetness of the goat’s cheese and figs are complemented by the zesty vinaigrette, giving you and your guests a sweet treat before (or with) the main event. Or you can serve up a classic seafood platter – a staple in most Australian households during Christmas. But if you want a few sweet snacks to nibble on while the mains are cooking, then serve up some simple Christmas wreath biscuits. These biscuits can be styled like a wreath and placed on a circular chopping board or plate for a classy presentation. Using a NEFF oven with CircoTherm® to bake these biscuits means you won’t have to rotate the trays mid-bake, as you get a nice and even cook – you can also bake more biscuits in a single batch thanks to this feature. Your Christmas entrée and snacks menu Christmas salad with goat’s cheese and orange vinaigrette Seafood platter Wreath biscuits Mains and sides Nothing says Christmas like a succulent, juicy glazed ham. The ham’s orange and spice glaze will make your home smell like Christmas and put you and your guests in the festive spirit. Cooking your ham in a NEFF Slide&Hide® disappearing door oven allows you to effortlessly baste your ham regularly without having to awkwardly bend over an oven door. If you prefer a bit of poultry instead, then consider serving a roast turkey with roasted grapes or a rolled cranberry and pistachio stuffed chicken. Both dishes have distinct festive flavours and can be cooked to perfection thanks to NEFF’s MultiPoint MeatProbe. This attachment allows you to measure the internal heat of your poultry, so you don’t have to open the oven regularly to check on it. And you can’t have the mains without some tasty side dishes. Potatoes are often the go-to hero ingredient of Christmas side dishes, as they can pair perfectly with glazed ham or roast poultry. Some of our favourite potato dishes to serve on Christmas include crispy hasselback potatoes, cheesy potato bake and dukkah crusted potato wedges. You can also serve up some home-made dinner rolls and other delicious Christmas sides. Your Christmas mains and sides menu Glazed ham Roast turkey with roasted grapes Rolled cranberry and pistachio stuffed chicken Hasselback potatoes Cheesy potato bake Dukkah crusted potato wedges Warm dinner rolls Desserts Nothing says Australian Christmas quite like a pavlova. The best part is that you can shake up the flavours for something different. For a fruity delight, then a summer pavlova with berries and passionfruit is the perfect way to indulge after your Christmas meal. But if you want more festive flavours, then a cinnamon pavlova wreath topped with fresh cherries is the way to go. And for a nutty twist on an Australian classic, you can bake a pistachio pavlova roll instead. A NEFF oven with CircoTherm® makes baking a pavlova simple. The patented fan technology will evenly distribute the oven heat and seal in the moisture. This will give you a perfectly baked pavlova that has a crispy and crunchy exterior while retaining the light and fluffy interior that we all know and love. Chocolate desserts are another great Australian Christmas classic. You can create all sorts of chocolate-flavoured delights, such as chocolate reindeer cupcakes, a chocolate crackle slice or even a refreshing chocolate peppermint slice.
