TIPS FOR THOSE WITH AGA COOKERS

Contributed by Richard Maggs, The Cookery Doctor on www.agaliving.com and author of Little Book of Aga Tips

 

 

To revive a stale loaf of bread, cut off and discard the end slice, hold the loaf cut side down for a few moments under a running cold tap, and place the loaf in the roasting oven for four minutes
When boiling your kettle, place the spout facing the hotplate lid.  The steam will help keep this area clean and an occasional wipe will be all that is needed to keep it pristine.
To loosen tight screw top preserve jars, simply place inverted on the simmering plate for 30 seconds.  The metal lid will expand and may then be easily twisted off using a cloth.
To clean wax from candlesticks, place on a sheet of cardboard in a tin on the floor of the simmering oven.  The gentle warmth will melt the wax and it will soak into the cardboard.  Buff to a shine with a soft dry cloth.
Place a lemon in the roasting oven for two minutes before squeezing to extract the most juice.

Troubleshooting Tips for your Aga


If you are the proud owner of an Aga or Rayburn I have come across a "gadget" which you may find of interest.  It immediately doubles your drying area, keeping clothes well away from the cooker front. This eliminates the danger of scorching delicate hand washed items of clothing, and also leaves the air inlets to the burner chamber clear.

Should you feel that you need even more drying area, a second cooker rail can be clipped on to the first. The rails ingeniously fold upward and forward to lie against the cooker front, leaving full access to hobs and ovens .

Suitable for most cookers, even the latest gas or electric hob types as long as the existing rail is from 1"tube. 7/8" diameter tube is under development for some early Rayburn and other stoves.
