Using the zones of the AGA eR7
The hotplates
The hotplates are operated manually, make sure the
standby button is on then just press the touch control
panel of the hotplate you need and a ashing red light
will appear, when the hotplate reaches its full preset heat
it will become solid red.
The boiling plate is on the left hand side and the
simmering plate is on the right hand side of the AGA
eR7. The boiling plate is the hottest with the simmering
plate being the cooler of the two. They both have electric
elements embedded into the cast iron which heat up
in approximately 11 and 8 minutes respectively. The
hotplates can be used completely independently from
the ovens.
This means the AGA eR7 diers from the classic AGA heat
storage cooker in that they can be used for the entire
cooking time of appropriate dishes because the design
keeps the hotplates at a constant heat, whereas the
classic AGA cooker continues to cook on a falling heat so
for these we recommend starting on the hotplate(s) then
transferring to the ovens, this can be done with the AGA
eR7 but is not necessary. For instance, if making a pasta
dish with sauce on the AGA eR7, it can all be done on the
hotplates.
The whole hotplate area can be used for cooking and
several pans can be accommodated on a single plate at
any one time. The hotplates are set very slightly above
the top plate to avoid accidental scratching if the pans are
pulled to one side. DO NOT drag the utensils from one
plate to another as the enamel will suer!
The stainless steel insulated covers are brought down
over the hotplates when they are not in use. When the
hotplates are ‘on’ the insulated covers will be warm. We
strongly advise not to put anything such as kettles,
saucepans or baking tins directly onto the insulated
covers because they will show any scratches – invest in a
pair of chef’s pads to protect the surface if the covers are
to be used as resting places!
Keep the hotplates clear of any burnt on food or crumbs
by brushing with the wire brush, supplied with your AGA.
