We are in a country kitchen with an Aga cooker gently cooking and keeping the entire kitchen nice and warm. The Aga never goes out so its always giving off heat. It is made of cast iron and so it weighs an absolute ton but can absorb heat from a low burning source so long as the source burns continuously. It is ideal for slow cooking but controlling the temperature can be tricky.

Aga was originally developed in Sweden but now is made exclusively in the UK.

Originally developed to burn coke or anthracite, the Aga cooker was invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize–winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén (1869–1937), who was employed as the chief engineer of the Swedish AGA company. Dalén lost his sight in an explosion while developing his earlier invention, a porous substrate for storing gases, Agamassan. Forced to stay at home, Dalén discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he set out to develop a new stove that was capable of a range of culinary techniques and easy to use.

Adopting the principle of heat storage, he combined a heat source, two large hotplates and two ovens into one unit: the AGA Cooker. The cooker was introduced to England in 1929, and was manufactured there under licence in the early 1930s. Its popularity in certain parts of English society (owners of medium to large country houses) led to the coining of the term "AGA Saga" in the 1990s, referring to a genre of fiction set amongst stereotypical upper-middle-class society.

Eduard has managed to find a most harmonious range of colours for his work although it would be hard to imagine this was made without some kind of technical aid. Still, it has a very pleasant feel and will be a pleasure to assemble.
