Or even a combi microwave oven for less adventurous meals.


Ther is a common misconception that an aga is a cooker.

It is not.

It is baseload central heating. A 2 oven is about 700W and a 4 oven about
900W of kitchen heating, pet drying, and so on.

But if that is what you want, you are much better off with a decent
modern combustion heater with an electric fan etc. Then there is
never any problem with getting the baked carbon off and it
wouldnt even cost as much as getting an aga re-enamelled.

And would work a hell of a lot better for heating and pet trying.

You CAN cook on it, or preferably *in* it, but that is not where agas are
at.
