... Oh dear! Your inspector is either very new or very silly, or (dare I say it?) both... B vent is for INSIDE the walls, not for exposed areas... as you aptly...
... I imagine I'm not the only one who *kneels* rather than bends down to use the lower ovens... I no longer have young knees, but pulling a five-quart cast...
Hi all Would anyone have advice my warming oven is cold now as we turned the AGA off for awhile. It is so dirty as we put boots etc in there as well as ...
We just ate the most amazing brisket for Sunday dinner. I sliced it up into thin strips and put it in tortillas. I used a braising pot that I ordered from...
Dear All the UK aga website is particularly helpful about flues - but tricky to locate it - you have to go to technical information then scroll through till...
Justin: Congratulations on your install! Good to see another New Englander take the plunge. The good news is that this is about as hot as your kitchen will...
I've found that the basic proportions that work well for brining are: 1 quart water (or other fluid) 1/4 Cup salt (preferably kosher--go easier on table salt,...
Jo - I may have missed other replies to this one but do you really have your AGA "off" or is it turned way down? If you turn it completely off it is my...
Hello, As an AGA devotee and mostly lurker on this list, I just wanted to "announce" that I am at the ordering stage for my 4 oven cream AGA. I am so excited!...
Hello Cindy and Congratulations... From what I remember when I read the ads, the only difference between the classic and the standard AGA is cosmetic. I...
It also depends on where you live I guess, and probably demand. When I ordered my Aga last spring, the classic was less money than the standard. I believe it...
Cindy, While this in no way should dissuade you from purchasing your Aga, the cost to install my four-oven in February was over $3,000. I live in Denver, and...
I know this has nothing to do with Agas, but I have an overabundance of basil in my garden. I plan to dry a bunch of it, but would also like to make pesto...
This is from epicurious.com. If you have really fresh basil, you might want to blanch it in hot water first. Otherwise, the pesto might turn black before...
You can also freeze pesto in ice-cube trays. It holds up really well that way, and it is great on pasta... or any meat (grilled is great!). In the summer, I ...
Pesto is an EXCELLENT sandwich spread, my favorite is on a baguette with fresh (not slimey deli) turkey, tomato and of course Cabot cheddar. Oh delight! Lee ...
Sadly, we do not have a row of fresh basil this year, just 6 plants in a pot. We use basil like lettuce in sandwiches when we have plenty of it and chop a few...
I want to have a go at improving my Aga's insulation. The Aga is filled with Vermiculite as this is the simplest thing to pour in, with a layer of Rockwool on...
I'm not so sure about the engine paint idea. Frankly, I think it's dumb. The Aga does not heat by radiation, but by convection, so there would be no benefit...
Hi: I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on TV, so I'm thinking my 2 cents on the topic is really only worth about half a penny.... It sounds like your aim...
... The other thing to think about is, that the manufacturer has probably thought of the same questions that the original questioner had and done some...
PLEASE proceed and let us know. It all makes sense to me. Why does AGA not use all rockwool to start with, would it take longer to pack it than to pour in...
I think that if that would improve the performance of the Aga, the Aga people would have thought of that themselves! Have you talked to any Aga installers to...
... It's the installed density bit. Having watched how difficult it was to get vermiculite to properly flow into all the nooks and crannies I'm skeptical of...
My installer didn't seem to have any problems at all getting the vermiculite where he wanted it. And if I'm not mistaken, it's alternated with the rockwool....
... Ours poured the stuff in, inserted a broomstick and then wiggled. The stuff would settle considerably -- that several bags more that one would have...
Same here. It was fun watching the whole process. The rockwool was only used as a top layer, mainly to stop the vermiculate migrating. I really do think that...
Hi I started a new subject of Aga mods and have got some great replies, but I've tried to reply a few times, but nothing appears; what am I doing wrong?...
Thanks to everyone who sent recipes and suggestions for my basil crop. I have a batch in the refrigerator and one in the freezer with plans for several uses...
