THE OVENS

Your AGA Total Control has three ovens, each of which is pre-set at

a different heat, just like the classic AGA heat storage cooker. They

are named as:

The Roasting Oven

for high temperature cooking

The Baking Oven

for moderate temperature cooking

The Slow Cook Oven

for long slow low temperature cooking

O NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN,

SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE A LOCK-OUT.

Each oven has the same capacity, (able to fit a 28lb (13kg) turkey) and

the classic AGA heat-storage cooker techniques can be used such as

stacking of saucepans in the slow cook oven. This enables the

steaming of root vegetables, rice, steamed pudding, casserole,

poaching fruit all in the one oven leaving the hotplates free and

reducing steam and cooking smells in the kitchen.

You can have one, two or all three ovens on at their pre-set

heat or the roasting and baking ovens can also be at ‘Slumber’

mode, (the slow cook oven is always at the same heat).

The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by a radiant heat

and this is the secret of the cooking excellence for which the AGA

cooker is renowned. An indirect radiant heat does not dry food out,

so it retains its natural moisture and flavor.

Slumber Mode

In Slumber mode, all three ovens operate like a slow cook oven.

The slow cook oven is always in Slumber, whereas the roasting and

baking oven can be set on Slumber mode for either cooking at a low

heat, or to generate gentle warmth into the kitchen, or in readiness for

turning up to their normal pre-set heat.

Cooking at Slumber in the roasting oven or baking ovens gives the

best results for making large rich fruit cakes and meringues as they

benefit from the gentle heat of top and base elements to ensure

thorough cooking. Other foods which benefit from cooking at Slumber

in these are ovens are steamed and Christmas Puddings and slow

cooking large pieces/cuts of meat - start the cooking process before

placing the oven on Slumber.
