AGA Oven
Getting to know an AGA is akin to falling in love with a friend. You find out all the quirks and nuances while discovering incredible features that give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
With an AGA you can boil a kettle on the stove. You always have a slow cooker or plate warmer to hand. Bread will bake beautiful while nothing else crisps crackling quite like the AGA. Roasting is a delight and the hotplate can be used for baking all manner of treats from homemade crumpets to naan breads.
​
You’ll also find that friends and family gravitate to it, especially on a cold day. There’s something quite comforting about leaning back against an AGA while hugging a hot brew and having a chat.
​
It may be difficult to understand at first but the more you get to know the AGA the more rewarding your whole relationship will be. It doesn’t take long to become a convert but if you’ve never used on, it’s worth investing a little time learning how it works before you try creating a roast dinner with all the trimmings for everyone staying in Hazelwood.
The oven temperatures are as follows:
To keep the oven hot for cooking, we recommend using
the electric hob (not the AGA plate) if you are using both oven and hob.
The left hot plate is the boiling plate and is very hot at about 300°C, the right is the simmering plate and is around 200°C

Please keep the tops down when not using the hot plates and please do not change any of the settings and do not turn off the AGA. It must be left on constantly.
