What is an induction cooktop? An induction cooktop uses an electro-magnetic field to transfer energy from a concealed copper coil beneath the cooktop, directly through to the pan you’re cooking with. What does this mean? The friction between molecules heats the pan itself rather than the cooktop, which remains pleasantly cool to the touch. Keep in mind, only iron-based pans work with induction, so switching from a gas cooktop may mean you need to pension off some old pots in your arsenal. If you’re unsure, the best way to test whether a pan will work on an induction cooktop is with a simple magnet. If the magnet attaches to the pan’s base, you’re good to go. What are the benefits of switching from gas to an induction cooktop? Unlike a gas cooktop, an induction cooktop doesn’t have a life flame, making it a much safer alternative. Our induction cooktops are also well-equipped with child safety locks for extra comfort, making your kitchen safe for small hands. As soon as you activate this safety feature, your control panel will be locked so kids can’t accidentally switch things on or change your settings. It makes cleaning easy. That eggy carbonara sauce or piece of crispy pancetta won’t bake on to the surface – a simple wipe of the flat glass surface and you are done! An induction cooktop heats the contents of your pan almost instantly, so there’s no more standing around twiddling your thumbs waiting for your pasta water to boil. Whether you’re prepping a multi-course feast or a speedy midweek dinner, an induction cooktop can save you time - no matter what you’ve got cooking. The NEFF induction cooktop range For entertainers, professional cooks or large families, our NEFF induction cooktops provide smart solutions for demanding requirements. With six quality options to choose from, there’s a cooktop for every family. For home chefs who love to entertain while cooking, our 80 cm induction cooktop features an integrated ventilation unit – no bulky overhead rangehood necessary, so the cooktop can be placed in your island bench! 80cm FlexInduction Venting Cooktop 90cm FlexInduction Cooktop 80cm FlexInduction Cooktop 80cm FlexInduction Cooktop 60cm FlexInduction Cooktop 60cm FlexInduction Cooktop Looking for ultimate flexibility? Our Flex induction cooktops automatically detect the number, size and shape of the pots and pans used and heat up precisely where it's needed. As with all induction cooktops, the heat is generated directly in the cookware, resulting in precise cooking that stops the moment the power is switched off. Goodbye nasty power bill, hello convenience. Which induction cooktop should I buy? Choosing the right cooktop for you depends on your personal preference and the size of your space. But with NEFF’s range of products, you’re sure to find one you love.     The Flex Induction range detects the number, size and shape of your pots and pans and instantly heats that exact spot. And as soon as you take the pan off, the heat stops.    NEFF’s innovative Flex Induction Venting Cooktop has all the same features PLUS a vent in the middle that eliminates the need for a bulky rangehood and extracts steam and smells immediately       Other useful features of the NEFF induction cooktop range include:      The Power Move function lets you divide your cooktop into three heat levels for cooking, simmering and keeping your food warm.     The Power Boost mode is a time-saving hack that can bring your pot of pasta to boil in a flash.    The TwistPadFire ® is an easy-to-use touchpad that gives you the power to activate your cooking zone and turn up the heat in on action     The vented cooktop range has an additional two inclusions:     An automatic air sensor adjusts the extraction rate to match the situation in the kitchen.    A reduced noise feature makes cooking quieter        Using NEFF’s induction range is as easy as placing your pots and pans anywhere on the cooktop and watching as they automatically heat up. Then all you have to do is select one of five temperature settings and let your stove tell you when the temperature is right.     You’ll also need magnetic or pan material cookware to use an induction cooktop because the cookware itself conducts heat. This method is more energy efficient, cleaner and safer to use than a normal cooktop.  Keen to get started with induction?

So, what sort of splashback might best suit your kitchen? In this article, we’ll help you find out.    Safety first!  Your first consideration has nothing to do with aesthetics. Above all else, a splashback must be non-combustible (i.e., unlikely to burst into flames). You can also burn your fingers on a material which get very hot (such as glass and steel) if it’s too close to the cooktop, so be sure to separates your splashback from the nearest gas burner by at least 20cm.    Safety in your kitchen should be your top priority and our Induction Cooktop offers safety features such as child lock and FlexInduction features, which automatically detects the number, size and shape of the pots and pans used and heats up precisely where it's needed. There’s also the intuitive TwistPadFire® that also allows you to get precise control and heat over all cooking zones, enhancing the cooking experience and safety of your kitchen.  Size and shape second  Consideration number two is also largely practical: what size and shape of splashback will best protect your wall? Standard kitchen splashback usually measure about 600x700x0.6mm. You can always choose something bigger (or less rectangular) if your kitchen aesthetic demands it, but any attempt to add something much smaller will probably result in a stained, dirty wall.    Texture time  Ok, now for the fun part! What do you want your splashback to look like? A big, bold statement? Something more muted? Does your kitchen need a dramatic focal point? Or a surface that just subtly blends in?  Whatever ‘look’ you decide you want, you will be spoiled for choice with all sorts of colours, patterns and pictures available in stores, as well as through retailers online. (You can even mix and match random tiles, if you want. And there’s no rule that says they all need to be the same shape and size. Or even the same material or texture).   To make your way through the wide world of choice, we suggest that you begin by picking a material. There are five major paths to go down.    Porcelain / ceramic  Probably the most popular choice, ceramic tiles have been a kitchen staple since the time of ancient Rome. And there are good reasons for that. They absorb heat, are easy to clean, are cheap to make and come in all sorts of patterns.   Subway tiles (essentially narrow white rectangles, stacked horizontally) are the ‘classic’ kitchen splashback look, but don’t be afraid to experiment with a more geometric design – or ‘do as the Romans do’ and get a mosaic.  But if you decide to go with ceramic tiles, remember that using smaller ones will involve using more grout: a substance that can be harder to clean, and quite likely to stain over time. So, starting out with a darker coloured grout might ultimately prove a smart choice, and you may want to look into sealing it with epoxy resin.   Marble / stone  Another oldie-but-goodie, stone and marble both come as tiles too. But the most elegant results often involve a single clean slab.   Once used to carve out the Statue of David, Italy’s iconic Carrara marble is not always the cheapest choice; but with its soft, grey veins and bright white speckles, it’s a material that suits just about every living space – and at the same time manages to give it a lift.  Granite stone splashbacks, meanwhile, can also look very striking – particularly if you abandon plain grey for more interesting colour (like Nordic black or blue pearl) or a chose a slab with some rich, varied veins.   But it definitely pays to do some geological research, as not every stone will be equally dense. Some splashbacks may in fact be more or less porous, which will of course make them likely to stain.   Glass tiles and mirrored glass  Edgy, sleek and oh-so-elegant, glass- and mirror-based splashbacks can be a wonderful way to add a light to your kitchen and create a pleasant feeling of space. A plain and simple window can actually be the perfect splashback, should the layout of your kitchen allow such a thing (and presuming that you have a nice view).   But glass splashbacks can also come in all sorts of colours, and be fritted, fused, frosted and stained. LED lighting, shimmer and glitter can all form part of the package, while mirrored splashbacks need not just be, well, mirrors, but can be sold in a glossy black or smoke grey  Such glossy, black splashbacks can be a perfect companion to glossy, black modern cooktops, like the N90 from NEFF.  Stainless steel   While marble and porcelain are the ‘classic’ splashback choices, stainless steel could be fairly be called as the modern one. Durable, cheap and extremely hygienic, it’s the shiny go-to option for most restaurants and industrial kitchens and starting to look equally good at home in most homes.   One reason for their popularity may sound counter-intuitive: while stainless steel flashbacks are easy to clean, they also need to be cleaned, so as to maintain an entirely streak-free appearance. Keeping on top of smudges, splashes and fingerprints will also mean keeping little germs at bay.   So if you’re looking for a more modern look that perfectly fits your modern kitchen, our built-in stainless steel or graphite grey ovens will blend right in and complement your kitchen.

One glorious exception to this rule, however, is a nice, hearty dessert. When the weather leaves a sour taste in your mouth, there’s nothing better than grabbing something sweet from the oven, adding a splash of custard or a dollop of cream, and setting yourself down with a spoon. And if said pie, pudding or crumble contains a hint of fruit, you can even tell yourself that there’s nothing healthier too.     Rich in vitamins and packed full of flavour, here are five fruity desserts from the NEFF kitchen that have been especially designed to keep the winter blues at bay.   Lemon delicious pudding  With a fresh citrus bite, this lemon pudding is the ultimate dessert for those who don’t want their sweetness too rich. But don’t get us wrong, this classic Aussie dessert can be made with simple ingredients that you can find in your pantry and will take you back to the good old day.      Using NEFF oven’s bottom heat function, which is perfect for baking, you can serve this smooth and fluffy pudding with a dash of cream to make it feel just a little bit sinful.  Click here for the recipe.  Apple crumble  Chanel no.5 is all very well, but does anything beat the scent of tart, tender apples, and a spoonful of cinnamon, slowly baking in an oven with sugar, butter and flour? A warm, comforting winter staple ideally served with custard or cream, apple crumble is made using NEFF’s CircoTherm® function to ensure a perfectly even cook.     And if you want the sort of buttery-sweet golden crust that melts in your mouth and stays in your mind, why not try the NEFF CircoTherm® Intensive function.     Click here for the recipe.  Apple and blackberry jalousie   Named after the French word for Venetian blinds, because of the way its slatted crust lets the fruit filling peek though, jalousies are crisp on the outside, hot and gooey in the middle, and thoroughly delicious all over.  Better still, they’re simple too. Simply combine fresh (or frozen) fruit with almond meal and cinnamon, pop it under some store-bought filo pastry, and put the result in a NEFF oven. The CircoTherm® fan forced function will take the pastry to just the right shade of golden, while peeking through the door of your NEFF oven with NeffLight® will let you know when it’s there.  Pear & blueberry cobbler  A warm tasty cobbler is the perfect winter comfort food. And best of all, it’s super-easy to make, with just 30 minutes to prep and it cooks away in your oven while you’re having dinner.   A dessert that can be prepped ahead and served for days, this close cousin of the cobbler is most often comprised of peaches, apples or plums but we think that the best results can be achieved with pears.  But don’t just take our word for it. Click here for the recipe to make one for yourself – and make your next dessert an event to remember.    Passionfruit puddings with white chocolate and passionfruit cream     A tangy, zesty summer fruit that actually grows all year around, passionfruit’s tropical vibes feed the spirit just as much as the soul, when taken in piping hot pudding form during the depths of winter.     Ooziness is, of course, everything and more in a pudding, so make sure you use NEFF VarioSteam function. The humidity from steam provides the ideal environment for a soft tender pudding, while of course ensuring that the outer crust remains crispy and toothsome.

Mix all ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Place the pork fillet into a plastic glad bag.  Spoon ¼ of the marinade into the bag to coat the pork fillet.  Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.  Reserve the remaining marinade. Preheat your oven on Slow Cook function at 100° Line a universal tray with baking paper. Heat a large fry pan with the vegetable oil on Induction/Flame select Level 8. Add the onion and capsicum and saute for two minutes.  Remove and spread evenly across the lined universal tray.  Wipe the excess marinade from the pork and add to the fry pan.  Sear the pork on all sides until sealed.  Place the seared pork on top of the vegetables. Place into the oven on level 3 and cook for 25-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pork. If your oven allows you to use a meat probe on slow cook function, cook to 63° While the pork cooks, add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Add the crushed pineapple and juice.  Heat on Induction/Flame select level 7 until the mixture comes to a boil.  Keep the sauce warm. Once cooked, rest the pork for 5 minutes, then thickly slice. Spoon a generous amount of sauce onto four warmed plates. Top with the vegetables and pork.  Drizzle a little more sauce.  Serve with rice and steamed greens. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.

For the BBQ sauce, place all ingredients into a small saucepan, bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to add to the meatloaf mix and for serving with the finished dish. Combine the breadcrumbs with the milk in a small jug and leave to soften while combining the remaining ingredients. In a large mixing bowl combine the ¼ cup BBQ sauce, egg, onion and salt & pepper and whisk together. Add the mince and breadcrumb mixture to the bowl.  Using clean hands, gently combine all the ingredients together until evenly mixed.  Don’t over mix as this could result in a tough meatloaf. Heat your oven to CircoTherm at 160° Take a piece of foil the size of your universal tray.  Cover this with a piece of baking paper.  Take your meatloaf mixture and form to the approximate size and shape of a loaf of bread on the baking paper.  Make the loaf a little narrower than you would like the finished dish as the meatloaf will expand slightly while cooking. Use 2 tbsp of the reserved BBQ sauce to spread over the meatloaf. Fold the baking paper over the meatloaf, then cover with the foil.  Cook for 30 minutes. Unwrap the meatloaf and carefully tip off or wipe away any excess juices from the tray. Then use another 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce to glaze again.  Change your oven function to CircoRoast at 180°C and return the meatloaf to the oven, leaving it uncovered, for a further 20 minutes.  If using a meat thermometer, cook to 68° Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven, cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side accompanied by creamy mash potatoes and steamed greens.

Place the chicken stock into a saucepan and heat gently on Induction/Gas Flame Select on level 5. In a large ovenproof pot, heat the olive oil on Induction/Gas Flame Select level 8. Add the onion and pancetta and fry until the onion has softened and pancetta is golden. Remove 2 tbsp of the onion/pancetta mixture to a small oven proof dish and set aside for garnish later. Reduce the pot heat down to level 5. Add the rice to the onion mixture and stir to coat and begin to toast the rice (around 30 seconds). Add the wine and let it bubble for 30 seconds. Pour the warmed chicken stock over the rice mixture and stir to combine. Set your oven to Full Steam function at 100°C with a time of 35 minutes. Place the pot containing the rice into the steam oven. While the risotto is cooking, lightly spray four ramekins or saucers with cooking spray (canola works best). Crack an egg into each. Set aside while the risotto finishes cooking. When the cooking timer sounds, remove the risotto and place each egg dish into the steam oven. Also add your reserved onion and pancetta garnish to reheat. Reset the cooking timer for 3 minutes to poach the eggs. While the eggs cook and the garnish heats, finish your risotto by adding the cheeses, parsley, half the chives and salt and pepper to taste. Stir your risotto mixture continuously for around a minute to finish developing the creamy risotto texture. Plate the risotto into four warmed shallow bowls or large plates. Remove the eggs from the steamer and slide an egg on top of each portion of risotto. Top with your onion/pancetta garnish and the reserved chives. Grate a little extra parmesan over the top and serve.
