Hotplate control
The boiling plate setting
(
Fig. 3.3
)
The hottest setting, the boiling plate setting is used for
boiling, grilling, stir-frying, making toast - indeed anything
that requires a high heat. Green vegetables keep their
colour when boiled quickly here, or use a steamer over the
saucepans to cook more than one vegetable at once.
When stir-frying or cooking anything that is inclined to splash
we would recommend using an AGA Splash Shield which will
protect the insulated cover from splatter, making cleaning
a doddle! Just wash the Splash Shield in hot soapy water or
place in a dishwasher between two dinner plates.
Please be advised the boiling plate setting is too hot to cook
food directly on it.
The simmering plate setting
(
Fig. 3.4
)
The simmering plate setting is the cooler of the two settings
and so is used for recipes that require a lower heat such as,
making sauces, scrambling eggs, heating milk, slow frying,
simmering soups and root vegetables. In addition, it can
be used to cook on directly as a form of griddle - invaluable
for toasted sandwiches, quesadillas, drop scones, searing
scallops and even a non-fat fried egg! Slow cooked toast can
be made on the simmering plate setting, no need to use the
AGA toaster here.
