Toaster (Fig. 4.5)
This is for toasting bread on the boiling plate. AGA toast is
renowned for its excellence, crisp on the outside and soft in
the centre. Take thick slices of bread and place in the AGA
toaster - if the bread is very moist or very fresh, heat the
toaster beforehand to prevent sticking - lift the boiling plate
insulated cover and place the toaster direct onto the plate
with the handle at an angle from the handle of the cover.
Close the cover and wait for the bread to toast one side -
this will take 1-2 minutes dependent upon the variety of
bread - open the cover and turn the toaster over and repeat
the process to toast the other side. The toaster can also be
used for heating pitta bread, toasting teacakes and as a cake
cooling rack.
Wire Brush (Fig. 4.6)
This is for cleaning the raw cast iron surfaces, keeping them
clear of crumbs and burnt on debris – which would otherwise
aect the boiling performance of pans and the kettle. Use
on the hotplates and the ovens. Take care not to touch the
enamel surfaces as the wire brush will scratch the nish.
Getting to know your AGA
If you have not already seen a demonstration, ask your AGA
Specialist for details. A demonstration will show you how
to get the best from your new AGA and will give you hints
and tips. You will also see a selection of AGA utensils and
