The 10 AGA Cast Iron 
Cooking 
Methods
BOIL (on boiling plate)
The AGA boiling plate will rapidly bring 
water to boil allowing the food to retain 
more nutrients, color and flavor.
BROIL/GRILL
(on boiling plate and top of roasting oven)
Broil to perfection using the top of the 
roasting oven or grill with intense heat of 
the boiling plate. Radiant heat reminiscent 
of a charcoal grill delivers crisp on the 
outside and succulent on the inside.
FRY (on boiling plate)
Meats can be quickly seared locking in 
all the essential juices and maximizing 
their natural flavors cooking to your style 
of doneness. No soggy or lingering oily 
tastes when frying with the AGA – just 
perfect results every time.
ROAST (in roasting oven)
With no flame or harsh elements to dry 
out food, radiant heat cooks any roast to 
perfection ensuring it is cooked evenly 
with minimum shrinkage. The AGA 
Roasting oven can easily accommodate 
a 30 pound turkey.
TOAST (on either hotplate)
Famous AGA toast with its distinctive 
wae pattern is crunchy on the outside 
and soft in the middle! Alleviate the need 
for a toaster by toasting breads, pita chips 
or sandwiches right on the hotplate.
SIMMER (on simmering plate)
The gentle heat of the simmering plate 
is perfect for delicate sauces, making 
poached eggs and keeping delicious soups 
at a gentle boil. Cook with pots and pans 
or simply use the hotplate as a griddle.
BAKE (in baking oven)
Like baking on a baker’s brick the AGA 
baking oven provides consistent radiant 
heat to create feather-light pastries, ever-
so-moist cakes, authentic hearth-baked 
breads and scrumptious cookies.
AGA Versatility 
STEAM (in slow cook oven)
The legendary AGA slow cook oven 
steams root vegetables locking in their full 
flavor and nutrients. Given the cast iron 
properties, every oven is a steam oven.
SLOW COOK (in slow cook oven)
The slow cook oven’s persistent yet gentle 
heat creates richer, juicer casseroles, 
stews, slow-roasts and braised cuts of 
meat. This oven will slow-cook for hours or 
even overnight.
STIR FRY (on boiling plate)
Intense and focused heat is the key to 
authentic stir-fries and the AGA boiling 
plate performs this function brilliantly! Able 
to heat oil quickly and keep it hot, sautéing 
delivers flawless stir-fries in minutes.
The Benefits of Cooking with Cast Iron
Beneath the glossy enamel of every AGA beats 
the heart of quality cast iron. It is this cast iron 
which sets AGA apart from the masses and 
exemplifies the true AGA dierence. 
Cast iron is acclaimed as one of the most 
perfect mediums for cooking because it retains, 
evenly distributes and gently radiates heat 
maintaining the foods flavor, color and 
succulence. With fewer intrusive cooking 
smells and no flavor cross-contamination, cook 
an entire meal at the same time in the same 
oven – a feat other ranges cannot accomplish. 
It Turns OFF
For many, the AGA is synonymous with 
“being on all the time”. Thankfully, with the 
introduction of the next generation of AGA cast 
iron ranges this is no long the case. Built with 
the 21st century lifestyle in mind, the AGA Total 
Control, AGA Dual Control and AGA City24 cast 
iron ranges allow the owner to have much more 
control over energy consumption including the 
ability to turn it OFF.
Capacity
End the dance of creating a 5-course meal 
utilizing one oven with one temperature setting. 
AGA cast iron ranges oers multiple ovens with 
multiple temperature settings – a major benefit 
to any home cook. Throw in the fact any 
3-oven AGA range boasts over 4 cubic feet of 
oven space and now it’s a party! Any one of its 
3 cast iron ovens will fit a 30-pound turkey with 
ease all the while making available additional 
ovens so you may simultaneously bake, slow 
cook or roast other dishes.
Allow us to show you how an AGA will help 
you cook better, eat better and live better!
