Total Control User Handbook

Grill
Succulent steaks and chops cooked on your AGA boiling plate in the special cast iron grill
pan. Fierce heat reminiscent of a charcoal grill sears the outside of the meat, sealing in
flavour and juices, while the meat gently cooks to perfection on the inside.
Oven grilling for a full English breakfast at the top of the roasting oven is so easy, sausages,
bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms in one large pan, no cleaning off fat splashes from the top plate
Grill direct on the simmering plate
Toast
Using the special wire toaster, you can make the famous AGA toast crunchy-on-the-outside and
fluffy-in-the-middle. AGA toast tastes better and even looks better: every slice is branded with the
distinctive waffle pattern. Carried out on the boiling plate or on the simmering plate with no toaster
required for toasted sandwiches.
Stir Fry
Tackle Asian cookery with an AGA wok on the boiling plate for fast stir fries and quick cooking.
Fry
Creating crunchier-on-the-outside, moister-on-the-inside fried / sautéed chicken
Simmer
The simmering plate of the AGA Total Control is so gentle it allows milk to heat without boiling over,
make sauces and simmer soup.
The AGA simmering oven, or the roasting and baking ovens, when on slumber slow cooks for hours
– even overnight – gently coaxing casseroles, stock, soups, curries, and bolognaise to perfect
tenderness while you’re at work, running errands, or simply relaxing.
Casserole
The AGA simmering oven’s gently persistent heat helps you create richer, juicier casseroles, stews
and slow-roasting or braising large cuts of meat. It slow cooks for hours. Also can be undertaken
on slumber mode on the AGA Total Control cooker.
Boil
Water boils so fast on an AGA. The AGA boiling plate cooks so rapidly that fresh vegetables retain
more of their natural flavour, colour and nutrients. Provides a good rolling boil for making quick jam.
Roast
Roasts are superb – cooked evenly throughout because, unlike conventional cookers, the heat
comes from all directions, not just one. Shrinkage and dryness are reduced because there are no
flames or elements inside the ovens to dry out the meat. Roasted vegetables are full of
Mediterranean flavour and roast potatoes are brown and crispy. All undertaken in the
roasting oven.
Slow-roasting is ideal carried out in the simmering oven or when the roasting or baking oven is
on slumber.
Bake
Like a traditional baker’s brick oven, the AGA roasting and baking ovens provide all-around,
consistent heat, to create feathery pastries, ever-so-moist cakes, and perfectly baked breads.
Sweet and savoury can be cooked together without intermingling of flavours.
Steam
In the AGA simmering oven or on slumber mode on the AGA Total Control you can steam a sponge
pudding to perfection without turning your kitchen into a sauna. Also unpleasant, lingering,
cooking smells are banished and no topping-up is required. Steaming root vegetables locks in their
full flavour and nutrients.
