Just think of the AGA as a normal cooker, with two hot plates and four ovens, which just happen to be on constantly, with the ovens set at constant temperatures suitable for all types of cooking. Facing the AGA, the left-hand hot plate is a boiling plate and the right-hand hot plate a simmering plate. The top right oven is a roasting oven — degrees; the bottom-right oven is a baking oven — degrees; the top-left oven is a simmering oven degrees; and the bottom — left oven is a warming oven — 50 degrees.
There is a thermometer which you can place in any oven to check the temperature. The main control for the AGA we have at Millbrook is the flow of oil, controlled by a simple valve. In the unlikely event that the ovens are not hot enough, it is simply a case of turning the control valve slightly!
If the temperature is too high, turn the control valve slightly to the right — it really is that easy. If you enjoy slow-cooked food, just leave your favourite dish in the appropriate oven, head off for a long hill walk, visit a Border castle, an atmospheric ancient church or a bustling market town and when you get back Cooked to perfection! I hope that my conversion will help others overcome any AGA anxiety they may have. For those new to an AGA, my advice is to remember it is a normal cooker that just happens to be on constantly.
This makes it perfect for grilling, tasty crackling on pork roasts and browning dishes. The top of this oven is also perfect for Yorkshire puddings, and pies and pastries. The middle of this oven is perfect for roasting meat or chickens and jacket and roast potatoes.
The base is perfect for items requiring a lower temperature such as bread and quiches or for shallow frying in a heavy based pan. Serve hot. Chao Matillas Pundit. How do you start a gas Aga?

Its internals and workings are very similar to an oil or gas AGA Cooker but instead of using a burner, an electric element tops the heat up in the cast iron as and when required throughout the day.
