by the editors of The Old House Web Supplier: AGA Cookers The secret to what makes an AGA Cooker different from all other ranges lies within its cast iron walls. An AGA Cooker is the only range that uses gentle radiant heat to cook food. Radiant heat keeps food moist while retaining nutrients and flavors, so food cooked in an AGA actually tastes different. (Other ranges use heated air to cook food, which dries it out and allows nutrients to escape.) Radiant heat makes preparing succulent poultry, perfect bread, and incredible cheesecake easier and faster. Each oven maintains a temperature zone, and venting options allow for multiple items to be cooked simultaneously without affecting flavors (for example, bacon and pie may be cooked at the same time). The large capacity of an AGA Cooker is a surprising feature. One oven can easily hold a 28 lb. turkey. And since there's no need to allow space for hot air to flow around the food, every inch of the oven capacity may be used for cooking. With the help of special design features, multiple racks of food may be easily stacked. The top hot plates (similar to burners) can each hold up to three pots at a time.
