A Brief Description - AGA DC5 (Hotcupboard)
The AGA Dual Control has the traditional cast iron ovens
with independently controlled hotplates.
Hotplates
The two hotplates are at dierent 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 high 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.
Warming Plate (Hotcupboard)
The warming plate is the ideal resting place for cooked
food.
Slow Cooking Oven (Hotcupboard)
Ideal for a broad range of long slow cooking applications,
such as leg of lamb, pulled pork, belly pork and celebration
cake.
NOTE: Meat and vegetable dishes should be started on the
boiling plate or in the roasting oven.
Warming Oven (Hotcupboard)
Used for warming plates and serving dishes. Can also be
used for resting joints before carving.
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.
