Aga saga
At the end of the day this is what I was left with, two hotplates that can function independently, three ovens, the two right-hand ovens working together, with the lower one operating at a lower heat to the top and a separate oven on bottom left. I'm delighted with the result. My previous Aga electric conversion was either all on or off so this flexibility is wonderful.
The controls, in the top left section, are super easy to use - up - down - off. The green ights tell me when power is being used.
But I've got quite a lot to learn about the various temperatures. These were my first attempt at baking a few biscuits!

Mmm biscuits with colour. They are tastier I think lol
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your aga and those wonderful tiles.
Good cooking!
Charcoal biscuits, they went in the bin!
DeleteWhen we moved to a house with a solid fuel Aga in 1968, by my mum eventually became so frustrated with it, she had it replaced by an ordinary gas cooker. She didn't find it hard to use - she had grown up with a coal-fired range - but thought gas a great improvement.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, but you can't dry out hedgehogs or air your washing in a gas cooker!
DeleteEnjoy your newly-organised Aga. Your biscuits look ten times better than any I've ever attempted.
ReplyDeleteThe second batch were edible!
DeleteWhat a beautiful stove!
ReplyDeleteWell I think so but there are many, like Tasker's mum and the folks who bought our previous home who think differently and can't wait to be rid of them!
DeleteIt looks great. From your comment about airing washing I assume that it also heats the room. My parents had a solid fuel Aga in their last house but this sounds much better. No dust from the fuel. Love the tiles as well.
ReplyDeleteI have a creel above the stove which dries clothes overnight. And, yes, much cleaner than solid fuel!
DeleteThe "new" Aga looks great (but then I suppose it didn't look all that different before), and I am sure you'll get used to the temperatures in no time.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it looks exactly as it did before but is now so much more flexible. It will be trial and error on the temperature front!
