Aga - Help and advice please for tried and trusted recipes

Thread Starter: Old Thatch    Started: Mon 20 Feb 2006    Replies: 2

I am so very excited as I am today having an Aga installed. We have very recently moved to Suffolk and are surrounded by fresh fish and local meat and vegetables. Like all of you I am passionate and even obsessive about food and have waited (and worked) for many years to realise this dream. I have read Richard Maggs very instructive book but still feel I might need to obtain a degree to operate my beautiful new oven - any hints or helpful advice please from seasoned Aga cooks would be very much appreciated.

I have a Stanley range, similar, not quite as upmarket!! Big Grin
Main thing to remeber is the 10 minute rule......if it needs to be cooked for longer than 10 mins PUT IT IN ONE OF THE OVENS!!!
even sausages, bacon, on a tray in the oven. Do not forget to get a good timer as somehow cooking smells seem not to escape from ranges until it is too late and things are well blackened!! Cry
And you can do all sorts of fabulous casseroles in the slow oven, do all the prep, fling it in a dish into the oven, go out for the day and dinner is done when you get home!!! YAYYY!!

Libraries are full of books for ranges and agas and full of info, the Mary Berry one already mentioned is excellent, even for lowly non aga range owners!! Wink

I had an Aga when I lived in England. I miss it. I recommend Mary Berry's New Aga Cook Book. It's fantastic, gives you tips on maintenance, equipment and loads of recipes ... every one I tried worked perfectly.

Good luck, I am sure you will love your Aga but they do take a little bit of getting used to.
