Since its invention in 1922, the AGA has been a grounding constant at the heart of extraordinary homes. Today, each cast-iron, heat-storage AGA cooker is handmade to order in England by sixty masters of their craft.
The AGA story began more than a century ago, born from ingenuity and created with love. In 1922, Swedish physicist and Nobel Prize winner Dr Gustaf Dalén set out to create a better way of cooking for his wife, Elma. The cookers of the time were demanding and time-consuming to use, requiring constant attention and bringing with them the risks of cooking over an open flame.
His invention had a simple purpose: to harness the remarkable properties of cast iron to make cooking safer, easier and more intuitive, while bringing out the very best in food. Today, that same spirit remains intrinsic to every AGA cooker.
