AGA Classic
Cast Iron Overview
Enter the home of any AGA owner and you will find classic warmth. Imagine family and friends gathered around the kitchen… easy conversation fills the air, mingling with mouth-watering aromas. Wine glasses are full, smiling faces abound, and every person knows right where they belong.
The AGA Classic cast-iron range is truly the heart of the home where cooking differently and living exquisitely create the sort of home that draws everyone near.
Beneath the glossy enamel of every AGA beats the heart of quality heat-retaining cast iron. It is this cast iron which sets our ranges apart and exemplifies the AGA difference. The R7’s single electrical heat source gently transfers warmth out to each of its three ovens, while the eR7 has electrical elements embedded within each individual cast-iron oven for the ultimate in precise temperature control. Even the hotplates receive their own heating elements.
The efficient radiant heat and insulated design minimizes fuel consumption and creates optimal cooking conditions without the drying, direct heat used in traditional ranges. Gentle radiant heat locks in moisture of every ingredient, thereby preserving flavor, nutrients, and the integrity of the foods being cooked.
WITH THE AGA CLASSIC, YOU CAN TRULY COOK DIFFERENTLY AND LIVE EXQUISITELY.
Anatomy of a Classic
Ovens & Doors
The distinctive hallmark of the AGA, the highly polished stainless steel insulated covers are brought down over the hotplates to contain the heat when on and protect the hotplate when off. Individually assembled by hand.
The enamel top surrounds the hotplates. It will become warm when your hotplates are in use. Although it is not a cooking surface it may be used to keep foods warm, melting butter, and dehydrating leafy herbs.
The hottest of the two hotplates - use for boiling, grilling, stir-frying, making toast and anything requiring very high heat. With electric elements embedded into the cast iron, this plate heats up in 12 minutes from cold.
As with the Boiling Plate, this hot plate offers constant heat throughout the cast iron in under 10 minutes. Large enough to hold three sauce pans and perfect for making pancakes, eggs or quesadillas directly on the griddle-like surface.
The AGA R7 and AGA eR7 100 ranges feature a discreetly housed control panel for all oven operations.

The World's
Greatest Cooking
Experience
AGA food tastes better simply because an AGA cooks better, using gentle, radiant heat to retainthe food’s natural goodness and flavor. The heat steadily radiates through the ovens andhotplates, creating dedicated cooking zones at pre-set temperatures for ease, convenience andstress-free use. Heat is transferred to the cast-iron ovens and released steadily from all theinner surfaces simultaneously. This radiant heat cooking is an altogether gentler process thanthe fierce hot air of conventional ranges and is thereason AGA cooking preserves more of the food’s moisture, flavor, texture and goodness.
AGA cast iron ranges offers multiple ovens with multiple temperature settings–a major benefit to any home cook. Any one of its 3 cast iron ovens will fit a 28-pound turkey with ease all the while making available additional ovens so you may simultaneously bake, slow cook or roast other dishes.
Finally, the high level of insulation within the outer casing and each hotplate lid ensures fuel isused wisely and economically. And, with our more recent electric models, you can choose tohave your AGA range on when you need it and off when you don’t.
