AGA TC5 (HOTCUPBOARD OPTION)

Slow Cooking Oven plus Warming Oven

These ovens are heated by a single element at the rear of the oven

cavity. It is operated by a single push ON-OFF button located on the

left hand side of the hotcupboard top plate and can be turned ON

and OFF when required.

Slow Cooking Oven

This oven has similar characteristics of the simmering oven and

should be utilised in a similar manner. It delivers a gentler convected

heat making it better suited for longer cooking times especially for

overnight cooking, for example rich fruit cakes and celebration

cakes. The cooking of meringues may also be better suited for this

oven.

NOTE: These ovens vent into the room, mechanical venting to the

outside is not available.

Points to remember when Slow Cooking:

• Pre-heat the oven for 30 minutes before starting to cook.

• Bring casseroles, soups etc to the boil on the hob and meats

started in the roasting oven, before placing in the slow cooking

oven.

• Make sure that casseroles have sufficient liquid, particularly when

cooking over a long period.

• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food whilst it is cooking to

retain moisture.

• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing food.

• Wrap washed and pricked jacket potatoes in foil before cooking.

• Make sure that meat and poultry is piping hot before eating.

• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.

You can also produce crisp, white meringues cooked in the slow

cooking oven.

Timings for cooking in the slow cooking oven will depend upon the

temperature, quantity and type of dish you are cooking, as a guide

for casseroles, a minimum of 3 hours cooking time is recommended.

Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.
