The Resting Plates; The Ovens - AGA CITY60 CONTEMPORARY User Manual

The Resting Plates

The resting plates are useful when you wish to move a
pan off boil or to a lower temperature.
Take care when removing and replacing the cast iron
resting plates, as they are heavy. Ensure they are cold
before removing.

The Ovens

Your AGA City60 has two ovens which are pre-set at a
different heat, just like the traditional AGA heat storage
cooker. The top oven has two temperature settings one
for the roasting and one for baking.
Top Oven
The Roasting Oven Setting
for high temperature cooking
The Baking Oven Setting
for moderate temperature cooking
The Simmering Oven
for long. slow cooking.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE
DOORS OPEN, SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE A LOCK-
OUT.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to fit a 13kg
(28lb) turkey) and the traditional AGA heat-storage
cooker techniques can be used, such as stacking
saucepans in the simmering oven. This enables the
steaming of root vegetables, rice, steamed pudding,
casserole, poaching fruit all in the same oven leaving
the hotplate free.
You can have one or two ovens on at their pre-set heat.

The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by a
radiant heat and this is the secret of the cooking
excellence for which the AGA cooker is renowned. An
indirect radiant heat does not dry food out, so it retains
its natural moisture and flavour.
