What is special about an AGA stove?

The AGA functions as a constant heat source. The solid iron casting absorbs and retains heat and food is cooked via radiant heat rather than circulating hot air as in most conventional ovens. An AGA is a heat-storage stove as well as a cooker.

Does a AGA stove stay on all the time?

Are Aga Ovens Always On? Most Aga ovens are switched on all the time, meaning that they’re always ready to use, and don’t need to be pre-heated. However, some models have timers and other controls which can turn down the heat, or completely switch off the oven at your preferred times.

Why are Aga stoves so expensive?

AGA ranges are so expensive because of the extremely high quality of their parts, materials and construction. Each stove is built by hand at their factory in Telford, England. Their ranges are made primarily out of cast iron which is a very heavy and expensive material to work with.

Why is an AGA always on?

Due to its unique design, the AGA stays on all the time, and has no knobs or settings to speak of. It is insulated, and makes surprisingly efficient use of a single, internal heating unit that distributes consistent yet varied temperatures to its several cooking zones simultaneously.
