Cooking on your AGA

As AGA ovens cook by radiated heat from the castings, rather than just hot air, exact temperature conversions are not possible.
Look in the AGA cookbook for a recipe. The table below gives a quick guide to using your oven. Remember that oven shelf
positions are counted from the top down.
Oven Temperature: High
Recommended shelf positions

NOTE: Baking under 45 minutes - place cakes or biscuits on grid shelf on base of the oven and place cold plain shelf on runner
directly above to reduce top heat

Cook on oven grid shelf placed on base of oven
Your AGA has a high setting which will provide a higher temperature and allow for
• faster grilling e.g. toast, breakfast
• cooking larger volumes of food, especially baking
TIPS
If food is browning too quickly slide the cold plain shelf above the food to reduce the top heat. For perfect results when baking,
turn trays towards the end of cooking.
