In 1912, Dr. Dalen lost his sight following an explosion during an experiment with pressurized liquids and gases. Forced to stay at home, Dr. Dalen discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although unable to see, he was determined to develop a new cook stove that was both capable of every culinary technique and easy to use. It is also capable of heating a house.
Adopting the time-honored principle of heat storage, he combined a small and efficient heat source, two large hotplates and two generous ovens into one robust and compact unit: the AGA Cooker. The cooker was introduced to England in 1929, and its popularity in certain parts of English society (owners of medium to large country houses) led to the term "AGA Saga" being used to refer to a genre of fiction set amongst stereotypical AGA owners. 1929 (MCMXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Models
Three main models of AGA are currently in production: two, three and four oven versions. The four oven version is wider than the other models in order to accommodate the four ovens and the burner. The two oven model has three doors behind which are the burner, roasting oven and simmering oven. The newer three oven model also includes a baking oven,[1] and the four oven version also has a warming oven and warming plate on the top.[1]
In terms of weekly fuel consumption, Aga expects[2] the two oven Aga to consume 40 litres of kerosene or diesel, 60 litres of propane gas, 425kWh of natural gas or 220kWh for the electric models. To put this into perspective, the average domestic natural gas consumption in the UK is 386.75kWh per week[3]. The watt-hour (symbol W·h) is a unit of energy. ...
