At nearly one and half metres wide, the impressive 4-oven AGA cooker is bursting with must-have features. As well as the roasting, simmering and baking ovens of the 3-oven AGA cooker, the 4-oven AGA cooker also features a warming oven. This additional feature is perfect for warming plates, resting food or cooking delicate dishes such as meringues. It makes delivering even the most complicated meal an absolute delight, keeping roast joints warm and succulent prior to carving.
A 4-oven AGA cooker is an indispensable helping hand in a busy kitchen, allowing you to multi-task with the minimum of effort. As well as the simmering and boiling plates that come as standard with all models, another useful feature of the 4-oven AGA is the choice of either a warming plate or a hob. The warming plate is useful to serve from, while the hob provides you with even more cooking options. The two ring hob can be specified as either gas or electric ceramic.
But it's not just its cooking capabilities that make an AGA heat-storage range cooker such a wonder. The constant heat retained in its cast-iron body makes the roasting and baking oven practically self-cleaning; spillages are carbonised so only require an occasional brush out.
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.
The 4-oven AGA cooker is available in a wide selection of AGA colours and comes with a range of fuel options - oil, natural or propane gas and electricity. All flue and badge options are available.* The oil and gas options can also provide domestic hot water for your home, just ask your local AGA Shop or Distributor 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.
Click here ▶Every AGA heat-storage cooker is made in exactly the same
way it has always been: molten iron is poured into moulds to create
cast-iron. 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.
Baking oven - heated to an ideal moderate baking temperature - ideal for cakes, biscuits and bread.
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.
Warming oven - designed to warm plates and serving dishes, to rest meat before carving and to keep food warm, prior to serving, for a limited period of time. Food should not be left in there indefinitely and certainly not for any longer than two hours.
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.
