In general, you don't need to. The hotplates and ovens are virtually self-cleaning, since food deposits or spills soon burn away to a fine carbon powder. An occasional sweep with the wire brush provided is suggested. In addition, the ovens are ventilated into the flue so all smells are released outside. A damp cloth will bring a shine to the vitreous enamel and chrome surfaces with a daily wipe.

Designed in 1922 by a renowned Swedish physicist and first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1929, an AGA Cooker is a cast-iron, gas-fueled, enamel-glazed cooking stove that uses non-drying radiant heat to gently cook food, often in less time than a traditional stove. See similar questions...

Immediately after use, remove the gasket and wash the lid by hand thoroughly inside and out. The exposed inside edge of the lid should be given special attention. The gasket should be cleaned, dried and returned to the lid. If the pressure cooker lid is hard to turn when closing, the gasket has become dried out and should be lightly rubbed with cooking oil. The bottom of the pan is dishwasher safe. See similar questions...

Oh happy day! The answer to this one is that you generally don't have to clean the cooker out! Obviously, you will want to clean the grid and occasionally clean out excess ash, but the walls of the cooker itself will turn black with use. They will build up a layer of smoke, fat, ash, whatever. This is ok! The cooker isn't supposed to stay white inside. You may find that this layer of build up will flake off from the inside of the dome over time. See similar questions...

Cooker is the Mandrivalinux development distribution. It evolves constantly, thus being called an "unstable distribution", and is regulary forked to produce a stable distribution for release. Think of it as yet another version of Mandrivalinux that is not meant for everyday use. See the Mandrivalinux cooker page for more details. See similar questions...

Washing Instructions Soap & water (Brillo, or S.O.S. pads on inside only). Bottom may be placed in dishwasher.

Box cookers with one back reflector don't need to be turned unless you are cooking beans which take up to 5 hours. Panel cookers need to be turned more often than box cookers, since they have side reflectors that can shade the pot. Parabolic cookers are the most difficult to keep in focus. These need to be turned every 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the focal length. Unless you need a cooker that can stay outside even in the rain, you'll do just fine with a cardboard cooker.

A good first food to try is a small quantity of rice, since it is fairly easy to cook and looks very different cooked than it does raw. Chicken or fish is also very easy to cook. See cooking hints or cooking times. A temperature of 250? F (121? C) is hot enough for all kinds of cooking. Remember that water cannot get hotter than 212? F (100? C). Thus if you are cooking food that contains water, it cannot get hotter than this either. See similar questions...

When ever you boil daal in either pressure cooker or utensil, always add little oil. It will prevent the overflowing. Always store your dough in an airtight container or covered with wet muslin / cheese cloth to avoid the hard layer and keep it fresh for a longer period. See similar questions...

Although most cruising boats today use propane stoves, they do have several drawbacks. There is risk of explosion - I know of several boats that have blown up. (If you can remember to always turn off the gas bottle after shutting off the stove, then there's little danger.) Second, I don't have room anywhere for a gas bottle locker, or something else would have to go. See similar questions...

Actually, you don't need to learn how to cook on an AGA -- you need to unlearn the worry and stress that often accompanies cooking on most stoves. Imagine not having to remember to plan time to preheat the oven, or not having to worry about exact temperatures or times. Cooking on an AGA Cooker allows you to fully enjoy the pleasures of cooking, and gives you more time to be with your family and friends. See similar questions...

Because AGAs are extremely well insulated, only 3,000 - 4,000 BTUs (1,000 -1,200 watts) per hour, depending on the model, are released into the kitchen. This is the equivalent of the heat generated by ten to twelve 100 watt lightbulbs. In addition, different from how standard stoves are used (80% on top, 20% in ovens), cooking with an AGA is primarily done in the ovens (20% on top, 80% in ovens). This keeps escaping heat to a minimum. See similar questions...
