INTRODUCTIONYour new AGA Total Control gives you everything you love about the classic AGA heat storage cooker, but with the added convenience oftouchscreen technology and the ability to turn each cooking area on and off, as and when you want it. Made in the heart of Shropshire, your AGA cooker, like the generations of cookers before it, has been manufactured from cast iron at theCoalbrookdale Foundry. Traditional iron-making skills combined with industrial strength elements enable the ovens and hotplates to heat up rapidly, so you can have them all on, or just one on, depending on the time of day or the size of your army.The cooking excellence of the AGA cooker has been famous since it’s inception in the 1920’s, and is renowned due to the indirect radiantheat that its cast iron emits rather than just air temperature. And, if you haven’t found out already, you’ll soon discover that food that is cookedthis way retains its natural flavour and succulence, and simply just tastes just better. So grab a cup of tea, have a read, and prepare to dig into some of the tastiest dishes you’re ever likely to make.Simmering plateBoiling plateTop plateControl doorRoasting oven Baking ovenSimmering ovenHotplatesThe two hotplates are at different heats; the boiling plate being thehottest of the two and the simmering plate at a lower heat. Eachhotplate is individually temperature controlled. Boiling PlateThe boiling plate is used for making toast, boiling a kettle, stir-fryingand cooking at a high heat. Simmering PlateThe simmering plate is for cooking slower, such as sauces, simmering pans and can also be used direct on for toasted sandwiches, drop scones, non-fat fried eggs and quesadillas. Roasting OvenThe hottest oven for high temperature cooking; pastries, breads,roasting of meat, vegetables and poultry, grilling at the top of theoven and frying on the floor. Baking OvenA moderate oven for cooking cakes and biscuits, baking fish,lasagne or shepherds pie, plus roasting meat and poultry at amedium heat. Cooking sweets and savoury together is no problemas the flavours do not mix. Simmering OvenLong, slow cooking in the simmering oven develops flavours andmakes the toughest meat tender. Its large capacity means severalpans can be stacked here; soup, casserole, steamed rice, steamedcarrots and poached pears all cooking simultaneously, without anydanger of burning.A BRIEF DESCRIPTION4
