HEART OF THE HOME CONT .
Gena Lorainne from Fantastic Services ( www . fantasticservices . com ) echoes this sentiment ; ‘ An AGA gives your meals a rich flavour , thanks to its even and slow cooking method . You can bake in it , roast , grill and even fry . Bigger AGAs come with three hotplates – for simmering , boiling and warming as well .’ Thanks to this incredible cooking method , AGA ensures food is cooked to perfection while also locking in moisture , nutrients and flavour . Each oven is specifically designed for a method of cooking ; roasting , baking , grilling etc ., meaning you no longer have to stress over the exact temperature or time food needs to be cooked just right . Having an AGA means no more stressing about mealtimes , no more last-minute scrambles to heat up the oven , no more roasting your meat to a burnt , charcoal-y pulp ; simply pop your food in the correct oven and watch the magic of cast iron cooking go to work .
An AGA will not only cook a sublime dinner for you every time , it will also fill your kitchen with a unique warmth that will emanate throughout your house , making it cosier and more like a home than ever before . Gena adds ; ‘ An AGA is always on , ready to use and helps to keep the kitchen warm and cosy in cold seasons and can potentially remove the need for a kitchen radiator . Some AGA models have a built-in boiler , which can heat 20 radiators and provide your taps with hot water . No matter that they ' re always on , AGAs power down when not in use , so you don ' t need to worry about running costs . Also , AGAs cook more quickly than standard ovens and keep your bills low .’
And of course that traditional style has had a contemporary makeover when it comes to colour palettes and kitchen style too . Karen Roberts from Heat Design in Canterbury is the first to acknowledge that the classic AGA style now comes in an incredible range of colours , meaning that there really is one for everyone , no matter your style ! The blush pink option is particularly on trend right now , with the linen – a muted cream colour – being a classic that blends in with both new builds and old country cottages alike . There are a staggering 15 colours to choose from , so you can go with anything from bright and eye-catching to delicate and subtle , whatever your preference AGA has something for you .
WHAT FUEL WILL YOUR AGA NEED ?
AGAs are just as versatile with their fuels as they are with they ' re cooking options and appearance ! With methods ranging from gas , to oil , to the more clean and environmentally friendly , electric . Karen explains ; ‘ There are a large variety of models offering a choice of fuel options from propane gas , natural gas , oil and more recently all-electric models which have been developed to be more environmentally friendly and efficient . Other additions include induction hobs and the latest high speed infra-red grill !’. The incredible adaptability of an AGA is what makes it so special and unique , whether you are trying to reduce your carbon footprint , or you are looking for a more traditional fuel like gas , AGA has options to accommodate your individual needs .
