A Brief Description - AGA DC3
The AGA Dual Control has the traditional cast iron ovens
with independently controlled hotplates.
Hotplates
The two hotplates are at dierent heats; the boiling plate
being the hottest of the two and the simmering plate is a
lower heat. Each plate is individually controlled.
Boiling Plate
The boiling plate is used for making toast, boiling a kettle,
stir-frying and cooking at a higher heat.
Simmering Plate
The simmering plate is for slower cooking, such as sauces,
simmering pans and can also be used direct on for toasted
sandwiches, drop scones, no-fat fried eggs and quesadillas.
Roasting Oven
The hottest oven for high temperature cooking; pastries,
breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and poultry, grilling at
the top of the oven and frying on the oor.
Baking Oven
A moderate oven for cooking cakes and biscuits, baking
sh, lasagne or shepherds pie, plus roasting meat and
poultry at a medium heat. Cooking sweets and savoury
together is no problem as the avours do not mix.
Simmering Oven
Long, slow cooking in the simmering oven develops
avours and makes the toughest meat tender. It’s large
capacity means several pans can be stacked here; soup,
casserole, steamed rice, steamed carrots and poached
pears all cooking simultaneously, without any danger of
burning.
From cold the ovens will take several hours to achieve
normal operating temperature.
