Aga Deluxe Model Direct Vent Range 4-Oven Cooker / Stove in Cream. Full size original Aga heavy cast iron stove. The Aga mode G has 3 ovens and 3 heating surfaces. The stove is designed to not only be the home cooker but also the heating system. The unit is so large and heavy it will heat up in the morning and stay warm all night keeping a mountain cabin, chalet, resort or home cozy. This Aga is set up for natural gas and needs a new thermostat (eurostat 630) everything else about the stove is in great condition but it is not working until a new thermostats is installed. AGA cast-iron cookers work differently, using gentle radiant heat. Cast iron is a fantastic material for retaining and even more importantly radiating heat. This kind of cooking is gentler on food and locks in all the moisture, flavour and goodness, meaning the food you serve tastes delicious. Originally developed to burn coal or anthracite, the Aga cooker was invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize-winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén (18691937), who was employed as the chief engineer of the Swedish AGA company (Swedish Aktiebolaget Svenska Gasaccumulator, English Swedish Gas Accumulator, Limited). Dalén lost his sight in an explosion while developing his earlier invention, a porous substrate for storing gases, Agamassan. Forced to stay at home, Dalén discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he set out to develop a new stove that was capable of a range of culinary techniques and easy to use. Adopting the principle of heat storage, he combined a heat source, two large hotplates and two ovens into one unit: the AGA Cooker. The cooker was introduced to the United Kingdom in 1929, and was manufactured there under licence in the early 1930s. Its popularity in certain parts of British society (owners of medium to large country houses) led to the coining of the term AGA Saga in the 1990s, referring to a genre of fiction set amongst stereotypical upper-middle-class society. The cast-iron parts were cast at the Coalbrookdale foundry in the 1940s, where they were still made by the Aga Rangemaster Group until November 2017 when Middleby closed the site with the loss of 35 jobs. AGA cookers are available in 2, 3, 4 and 5 oven models with the 4 and 5 oven versions wider than the others. AGA cookers have a boiling and simmering plate, or in models with one hotplate this can be set to either boiling or simmering mode. While the classic AGA models are on all the time, the ovens and hotplates of the newer AGA cookers (AGA 60, Total Control, 3 Series) can be switched on and off as required and the hotplates on the Dual Control cookers can be switched on and off, meaning there is heat in to the room but energy is not used unnecessarily. The AGA 60 is the smallest in the range and is just 60 cm wide. The AGA is known for its longevity, with many cookers still operating after more than 50 years. In 2009, in conjunction with The Daily Telegraph and to celebrate the 80th anniversary of its founding, AGA set up a competition to find the oldest AGA still in use. [9] There were thousands of entries, but the winning cooker was installed in 1932 and belonged to the Hett family of Sussex. Check link for original brochure.
