The 2-oven AGA range cooker has a boiling plate and simmering plate, plus a roasting oven and simmering oven. These are kept constantly ready for use by the cooker's unique heat technology, made possible by its cast-iron body.
The cast-iron ovens of an AGA range cooker are gentle on food and lock in moisture, flavour, texture and, importantly, goodness, meaning dishes taste delicious every time. Catering for a crowd with an AGA cooker is no problem either - both AGA ovens are big enough to fit a 13kg (28lb) bird, making them perfect for cooking a big family Sunday lunch.
When it comes to the 2-oven AGA range cooker, versatility is the name of the game. It does the job of many kitchen appliances, which is a great help in busy households. There's no need for a radiator in the kitchen or a toaster, electric kettle or tumble drier - even the ironing will be made easier; just place laundry such as t-shirts and pillow slips on the simmering plate to 'AGA-iron'.
For added convenience, the 13-amp electric model comes with a programmable feature, the AGA Intelligent Management System (AIMS) that allows you to set the temperature of your AGA cooker to suit your requirements.
At just under a metre wide, the 2-oven AGA cooker is a flexible addition to your kitchen. That means whether it's the crowning glory of your kitchen design or nestled neatly between existing units, the 2-oven AGA cooker is a remarkably good fit for both traditional and contemporary kitchens.
There's an exciting range of colours in the AGA palette,
so you're sure to find the right shade for your kitchen. The 2-oven
AGA cooker comes with a range of fuel options - oil, natural or
propane gas and electricity - and all flue and badge options are
available.* The oil and gas options can also provide domestic
hot water for your home, just ask your
dedicated AGA shop for details.
*Claret is not an available colour option for electric
models
For even more choice and versatility you can choose a Freestanding or Integrated Module to complement your AGA cooker. This gives you the flexibility of an additional conventional oven, grill and fan oven, plus a choice of a gas or ceramic electric hob. The Integrated Module will fit to the left side of your AGA range cooker while the Freestanding Module can be placed anywhere in your kitchen.

It's this iron that brings the AGA cooker's distinctive cooking performance and while most other cookers are spray painted in minutes, skilled AGA craftsman add multiple coats of vitreous enamel - a process that takes three days to complete.
Every AGA range cooker comes with a simmering oven
and a roasting oven, a simmering plate and a boiling plate, each is
always ready at the optimum temperature for each type of cooking.
It's the cast-iron that makes this possible. It allows every AGA
heat-storage cooker to store heat and steadily radiate it through
the ovens and hotplates at a constant temperature. Radiating the
heat from all the oven surfaces simultaneously also ensures a
kinder cooking process, unlike the fierce direct heat of
conventional cookers. Finally the high level of insulation within
the outer casting and each hotplate lid ensures fuel is used wisely
and economically.
Slow cooking is rooted into the AGA philosophy; it allows your food to gently cook without the risk of burning. So you can throw a dish together first thing in the morning, ignore it for hours on end and pull out a delicious meal by teatime. If you're in a rush, the high heat of the roasting oven is ideal for a pizza, or a grilled steak can be prepared using the boiling plate - even ready-meals can be cooked easily in an AGA cooker.
Roasting oven - roasts and grills beautifully and is big enough to fit a 13kg (28lbs) turkey. Radiant heat means food keeps its natural succulence and flavour.
Simmering oven - Simmers perfectly by constantly maintaining the oven at just the right temperature for long, slow cooking. This develops flavours and will make even the toughest cut of meat melt-in-the-mouth tender.
Although the 2-oven AGA cooker comes without a baking oven, you can still bake beautifully with the help of an AGA Cold Plain Shelf. The simple metal shelf is stored out of the AGA cooker so that it is cold. When it is placed above food in the roasting oven it cuts off the top radiant heat, creating a moderate heat underneath, allowing up to 30 minutes of baking time.
What to expect
From a toasted sandwich to a perfectly risen soufflé, an AGA
cooker excels at every style of cooking. AGA cakes are fluffier,
stir-frys wonderfully fast, roasts more succulent and pizzas
perfectly crisp. There's nothing an AGA oven cannot do - and
everything it does, it does better.
AGA ovens are easier to maintain
Choose an AGA heat-storage range cooker and you'll notice that the
time you spend cleaning is greatly reduced. That's because the
ovens and hotplates of an AGA cooker are virtually self-cleaning.
It's simply because they're always on - any spillages are
carbonised, so all you have to do is give it the occasional brush
out.
No lingering food smells
As you cook in your AGA ovens, food aromas are drawn away and
extracted via the flue. This means if you're cooking something
pungent like fish, the AGA cooker will help keep smells to a
minimum.
Depending on the model, different flue options are available - speak to your local AGA shop for details.

In terms of energy consumption, an AGA home shouldn't cost any more to run than any other. In fact, an AGA heat-storage cooker could actually save you money on your energy bills. Here are some reasons why:
The lifespan of an AGA range cooker is much
longer than others
An AGA cooker's longevity is at least three
times that of a conventional cooker. In fact, many AGA cookers
across the UK are still working perfectly after 50 years or more of
sterling service. It's well known that many AGA families pass their
AGA cookers down from one generation to the next.
You'll rely less on radiators
An AGA cooker gives off enough ambient heat to
keep most kitchens warm, even in winter, which means you're likely
never to use the radiator in the kitchen and perhaps in adjoining
rooms. This will compensate for the energy an AGA cooker uses and
could save you even more.
Reduce the number of kitchen appliances you
need
An AGA heat-storage cooker does more than cook
food - it's a domestic workhorse that can replace other
kitchen appliances such as your tumble drier, iron, toaster,
bread maker, microwave and kettle.
30-amp AGA stores cheap off-peak
electricity
30-amp AGA cooker models use the cheaper
overnight electricity tariff to store heat for use throughout the
day. This electricity is absorbed into heat bricks deep within the
AGA cooker, which is then released gradually, offering you real
cost efficiency.
AGA ovens now operate on your
time
Every programmable AGA cooker is ready to cook
at any time. But, with AIMS - the AGA Intelligent Management
System, it can also power down while you're at work, sleep
when you sleep and holiday when you holiday - making it cost
effective and efficient.
