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 has two ovens which are pre-set at a different
heat plus a warming oven, just like the traditional AGA heat
storage cooker. The top oven has two temperature settings
one for roasting and one for baking.
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.
The two main 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.
