Choosing appliances for your kitchen can feel a little overwhelming. It’s a place where we spend most of our time each day, so investing in the best is important for longevity. That’s why we’re going to break down some of the essential NEFF appliances you can add to your kitchen to help you feel confident in your decision. Choosing an oven Your oven is going to be one of the most-used appliances in the kitchen. It’s where you can whip up a perfect Sunday roast or bake a super moist chocolate cake, so quality and oven functions are important. The new NEFF Flex Design range includes all the features you know and love, with a twist. You have endless combinations to customise your oven arrangement to suit your personal style and cooking. For example, if you host a lot of events or have a big family, then you might stack two ovens next to each other – a Full Steam oven and a Slide & Hide® oven – to make the most of your kitchen’s space and give you ample cooking room. Or you might invest in a combination oven if you want a two-in-one solution to save precious bench space. Selecting a cooktop No matter if your cooking sweet potato gnocchi or a hearty roasted pork and fennel meatball soup, a cooktop is an essential part of the kitchen. As part of the NEFF Flex Design range, you can match the trimmings and handles of your cooktop with your NEFF oven for a seamless kitchen design. The Twist Pad Flex dial will not only make your induction cooking a breeze, but you can use move the dial from your cooktop to your oven for effortless cooking. A NEFF induction cooktop intuitively supports your cooking, as the technology can immediately recognise the size, shape and position of your pots and pans. This can give you a perfect cook on your dishes without having to constantly adjust your settings. Getting the right rangehood Another essential in any kitchen is a rangehood. Not only can they remove unwanted odours from the kitchen, but they can also add a modern touch to your kitchen’s style. The NEFF canopy or inclined rangehood in the Flex Design range comes with coloured trims that can match the rest of your NEFF kitchen while also being easy to control – simple set your fan level and adjust the hood’s lighting via your cooktop. With the efficient drive motor, you won’t hear a thing from your rangehood, allowing you to focus on meaningful conversations around the kitchen. Dishwasher Your dishwasher is your post-feast hero, so it’s important that you invest in a quality appliance that can handle anything. There are three types of NEFF dishwashers you can consider: fully integrated, semi-integrated, and built-under. All NEFF dishwashers have the same functions to ensure your dishes are cleaned quickly and silently, even though there are clear aesthetic differences. Fully integrated dishwashers are concealed behind your cabinetry and the controls are displayed when you open the dishwasher. Semi-integrated dishwashers, meanwhile, match your cabinetry while having a visible, external control panel. Lastly, built-under dishwashers are a cost-effective dishwasher solution for those who don’t mind the silver appearance. Want to see these appliances in person?

Preheat the oven on CircoTherm® to 160°C. Use a sharp knife to butterfly out each chicken fillet to an even thickness. Heat half the oil in a non-stick frypan on induction setting 8, add the chicken to the hot pan and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pan, keep warm. Heat the remaining oil in the pan on setting 6 and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, add the garlic and capsicum and cook a further 2 minutes. Add the passata, stock, tomato paste and herbs to the pan, reduce to setting 3 or 4 and simmer gently, covered for another 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Pour the sauce into a 37 x 32cm rectangular Le Creuset baking dish. Place the chicken into the sauce and top each with 2 slices of prosciutto. Combine the cheeses and sprinkle over the chicken, then place a basil leaf on each. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked and golden. Serve with steamed greens or green salad.

With so many different types of ovens to choose from, it can feel tricky to find the perfect one for your cooking needs. The NEFF range of ovens are versatile for any home cook and their needs. That’s why we’re going to explore three types of NEFF ovens you can consider for your next kitchen upgrade. 1. Steam ovens The benefits of steam-cooked meals are well known and well loved – preserving taste and texture, retaining nutrition and making delicious, healthy meal alternatives for people who take their nutrition as seriously as their appetite. Investing in a NEFF oven with Full Steam means you can cook your delicious dishes without having to clog up your bench with additional appliances. The Full Steam function allows you to do all sorts of things, like steam your eggs, make tasty and healthy Asian cabbage rolls, and even a steamed apple maple cake, all made with the precision of a German-made oven. For more control over the steam, the NEFF Steam Jet function lets you decide when to quickly fill your oven with steam, making it ideal for achieving tender bread with a crispy crust or a juicy Sunday roast. This feature provides the flexibility to enhance your dishes with the perfect amount of steam, ensuring they are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Only want to add a little bit of steam to your dish? Then you can simply use the Added Steam function! This feature allows you to set how much steam you want to add and how often. The oven will then add bursts of steam throughout the duration of the cook and transform your dish entirely. So, your roast pork is more succulent and juicier (with a fantastic crackle), your bread is lighter and fluffier than ever (with a golden crust), and your blueberry muffins rise perfectly. The NEFF Full Steam oven is part of the new Flex Design range. With four colour options to choose from, you can have endless appliance combinations for a seamless kitchen style. Plus, the Flex Design range gives you a world of opportunity to put your personality on display. 2. Combination ovens Time may be short for everyone these days, but that’s no reason to compromise on quality. The NEFF range of combination ovens are a compact and convenient way to cook. With a two-in-one combination oven, you might not need a separate microwave, which is great for saving valuable bench space in smaller kitchens. If you want to steam your veggies or dumplings in a compact oven, then you can either combine the steam or microwave functionality with the hot air system of a conventional oven, removing the need for an addition steamer on the kitchen bench. One of the great things about using a combination oven is that you can cook tasty dishes quickly if you need dinner in a pinch or after a hard day of work, like this combination microwave cauliflower cheese or apple crumble. 3. Conventional oven One of the most distinguishing attributes of NEFF ovens is Circo Therm®. This function allows you to cook multiple dishes on multiple levels evenly without running the risk of flavours and scents mingling. This makes a NEFF oven perfect for those who enjoy entertaining and want to cook multiple dishes at once, like roasting this apricot and smoked almond pork roll then sliding in a tray of shortbread at the right time for an effortless cook. If you want to take it one step further, then consider a NEFF Slide & Hide® oven. The iconic fully disappearing door gives you full access to your dish while it’s cooking, meaning you can say bye to awkwardly bending over to reach your tasty creation. What are the key differences between ovens? The term ‘conventional oven’ is somewhat of a misleading term when it comes to the NEFF oven range. A conventional oven uses direct heat to cook your food, which is mainly top and bottom heat in a NEFF oven. On the other hand, convection ovens use circulating heat to cook food which allows for an even distribution of heat. All NEFF ovens use hot air and a quality rotating blade to evenly distribute heat across all oven levels, ensuring your dishes are cooked perfectly. If you need to cook on a single level, then the NEFF top and bottom heating function will evenly distribute heat from above and below to help achieve the perfect cook. If you’re thinking about getting an oven with steam functionality then you might be similarly confused by the difference between Full Steam and Added Steam ovens. Simply put, Full Steam uses 100% steam to cook your food, while Added Steams allows you to inject bursts of steam into your cooking at key moments while still retaining all your regular cooking functions. How to decide which oven to buy? If you’re wondering which oven is right for you, it’s important to consider your needs, lifestyle, budget, and the size of your kitchen. This will help you to decide whether you want one oven or two, if you need steam, and whether a combined microwave is the answer. You can also book in a free product demonstration with a NEFF kitchen expert. They can help you work out what type of oven is best suited for your cooking needs and kitchen style.

Whether you prefer your lamb to be lightly blushing or well done, learning how to tell if it’s cooked correctly (without cutting it) will preserve the flavours and leave you with a juicier and more flavoursome bite when it’s time to serve. Cooking your lamb correctly may seem complicated on the surface, but with the help of the NEFF Multi Point Meat Probe and a few simple tips, you’ll become a master of lamb in no time. Before you cook One of the common mistakes people make when cooking lamb is throwing it straight from the fridge into the oven. When you put cold meat straight into heat you get uneven cooking. Why? Your oven is trying to warm up the meat before it can begin cooking, which can leave you with uneven insides and outsides. Let your meat come to room temperature before you start cooking. Depending on the size of your cut, this should take roughly one hour or up to two for bulkier cuts. Be gentle with your marinades Research the type of cut you’re cooking and plan your lamb marinade accordingly. More tender cuts of lamb (such as the leg) are better served with a dry rub, as the acids in some marinades can destroy the integrity of the meat. Follow the recipe instructions when using a marinade, as you don’t want to leave it on for too long, which can make it a bit tough. Use an oven thermometer to cook your lamb perfectly The golden rule of cooking your lamb to perfection is always use a thermometer. When cooking lamb to medium-rare (just a hint of pink on the inside) you want the internal temperature of the meat to get to between 60°C  to 65°C. And avoid the temptation to open and close your oven constantly, as this can affect the cooking temperature. Cooking tip Ovens in the new NEFF Flex Design range are compatible with the Multi Point Meat Probe. This cooking thermometer probe is a must-have if you want to guarantee a perfect cook on your lamb whenever you use a NEFF oven. You simply set your desired internal temperature and the probe will monitor the progress, automatically turning the oven off when the desired temperature is reached. The final steps for the perfect lamb While it’s tempting to pop your lamb straight onto your plate once it’s cooked, you’ll be doing yourself a real disservice. Let your lamb rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes under some tented foil to allow the meat’s juices to redistribute for a more tender bite. Finally, always be sure to carve your lamb across the grain so you’re not left with tough slices that are hard to chew. If you follow these steps your lamb will always be cooked perfectly, no matter which cut you’re using. Want to put your lamb cooking skills to the test?

Here’s how to butterfly your chicken: ● Lay your chicken breast-side down on a flat surface. ● Using a sharp knife, cut your chicken along one side of the backbone from one end to another. ● Turn your chicken over and flatten before cutting along the other side of the backbone, then remove the backbone. ● Push down firmly on the breastbone area with your palm to flatten the chicken. ● That’s it – you’ve got a butterflied chicken that’s ready to be seasoned and roasted.

It’s not as straight forward as it may seem though, so follow these steps: ● Lay your chicken breast-side up on a flat surface, with the legs pointing towards you ● Cut a piece of kitchen twine around 1 metre long ● Holding each end of the twine in both hands, slide it underneath the chicken legs and pull the strings upwards. Criss-cross to tighten. ● Slide the twine down and around each leg. As you slide the twine up the side of the chicken to tighten, flip the bird, pulling it back towards you so its breast-side down. ● Pull the twine back towards you over the wings, then tie the twine into a knot to secure the wings. ● Slide the twine down and around each chicken wing. As you slide the twine up the side of the chicken to tighten, flip the bird pulling it back towards you so it is breast-side up. ● Pull the twine towards you, loop it around the bottom of the breastbone before bringing it back around the top of the chicken breast to be tightened. ● Finally, tie into a knot and cut off any excess twine before roasting. How to add flavour to your chicken breast There are plenty of quick and easy ways you can add flavour to your chicken breast and transform it into a mouth-watering meal. ● Marinating your chicken breast with herbs and spices, such as using a harissa paste and seasoning. ● Crumbing your chicken breasts with breadcrumbs, panko or even coconut flakes for something sweet and crunchy. ● Stuffing your chicken breast with cheese, prosciutto and herbs.
