7. The Ovens
Your AGA Total Control has three ovens, each of which is pre-
set at a dierent heat, just like the classic AGA heat storage
cooker. They are named as:
• The Roasting Oven for high temperature cooking
• The Baking Oven for moderate temperature cooking
• The Slow Cook Oven for long slow low temperature
cooking
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS
OPEN, SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE A LOCK-OUT.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to t a 28lb (13kg)
turkey) and the classic AGA heat-storage cooker techniques
can be used such as stacking of saucepans in the slow cook
oven. This enables the steaming of root vegetables, rice,
steamed pudding, casserole, poaching fruit all in the one
oven leaving the hotplates free and reducing steam and
cooking smells in the kitchen.
You can have one, two or all three ovens on at their pre-set
heat or the roasting and baking ovens can also be at ‘Slumber’
mode, (the slow cook oven is always at the same heat).
The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by a radiant
heat and this is the secret of the cooking excellence for which
the AGA cooker is renowned. An indirect radiant heat does
not dry food out, so it retains its natural moisture and avor.
Slumber Mode
In Slumber mode, all three ovens operate like a slow cook
oven.
The slow cook oven is always in Slumber, whereas the
roasting and baking oven can be set on Slumber mode for
either cooking at a low heat, or to generate gentle warmth
into the kitchen, or in readiness for turning up to their normal
pre-set heat.
Cooking at Slumber in the roasting oven or baking ovens
gives the best results for making large rich fruit cakes and
meringues as they benet from the gentle heat of top and
base elements to ensure thorough cooking. Other foods
which benet from cooking at Slumber in these are ovens
are steamed and Christmas Puddings and slow cooking
large pieces/cuts of meat - start the cooking process before
placing the oven on Slumber.
