How many people buy Agas because they like the look of them, but then find then don't have a clue how to control the 10-tonne monster lurking in their kitchen.
Cooking on an Aga is an art that has to be learned, and while there's a slew of books catering to the market, not everyone wants to relearn their cooking skills. But if you'd like an easier Aga experience, check out the new electric models, which are easy to use, responsive, and even come with a remote control.
The Aga Intelligent Management System comes pre-set, so your cooker is warmed up and ready to go when you need it, in the morning, and at dinner time for example, and just ticks over in "slumber" mode at other times, so you still get that house-warming, people-magnet effect (which as we all know, is the real reason people buy Agas in the first place). The AIMS models can be road tested at Aga shops in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin; Lapp's Quay, Cork and Tuam Road, Galway.
