Introduction
Your new AGA Dual Control gives you everything you
love about the AGA heat storage cooker, but with the
added convenience that the two hotplates can be turned
on or off, as required.
Made in the heart of Shropshire, your AGA cooker, like
the generations of cookers before it, has been
manufactured from cast iron at the Coalbrookdale
Foundry. Traditional iron-making skills combined with
industrial strength hotplate elements enable the
hotplates to heat up rapidly, so you can have them both
on, or just one on, depending on the time of day or the
size of your family.
The cooking excellence of the AGA cooker has been
famous since it’s inception in the 1920’s and is
renowned due to the indirect radiant heat that its cast
iron emits rather than just air temperature. And, if you
haven’t found out already, you’ll soon discover that food
that is cooked this way retains its natural flavour and
succulence, and simply just tastes better.
So grab a cup tea, have a read and prepare to dig into
some of the tastiest dishes you’re ever likely to make.

A Brief Description - AGA DC3G
The AGA DC3G has the traditional cast iron ovens with
independently controlled hotplates.
Hotplates
The two hotplates are at different heats; the boiling plate
being the hottest of the two and the simmering plate is a
lower heat. Each plate is individually controlled.
Boiling Plate
The boiling plate is used for making toast, boiling a
kettle, stir-frying and cooking at a higher heat.
Simmering Plate
The simmering plate is for slower cooking, such as
sauces, simmering pans and can also be used to cook
on directly for toasted sandwiches, drop scones, no-fat
fried eggs and quesadillas.
Roasting Oven
The hottest oven for high temperature cooking; pastries
breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and poultry, grilling
at the top of the oven and frying on the floor.
Baking Oven
A moderate oven for cooking cakes and biscuits, baking
fish, lasagne or shepherds pie, plus roasting meat and
poultry at a medium heat. Cooking sweet and savoury
together is no problem as the flavours do not mix.
Simmering Oven
Long, slow cooking in the simmering oven develops
flavours and makes the toughest meat tender. It’s large
capacity means several pans can be stacked here; soup,
casserole, steamed rice, steamed carrots and poached
pears all cooking simultaneously, without any danger of
burning.

Warming Plate (Hotcupboard)
The warming plate is the ideal resting place for cooked
food.
Slow Cooking Oven (Hotcupboard)
Ideal for a broad range of long slow cooking
applications, such as leg of lamb, pulled pork, belly pork
and celebration cake.
Warming Oven (Hotcupboard)
Used for warming plates and serving dishes. Can also
be used for resting joints before carving.
Roasting Oven
The hottest oven for high temperature cooking; pastries,
breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and poultry, grilling
at the top of the oven and frying on the floor.

Equipment supplied with your
AGA Dual Control
Large Size Roasting Tin with Grill Rack
This is designed to slide onto the oven runners without
the need for it to sit on an oven grid shelf. The roasting
tin can be used with the grill rack, in its high position, for
grilling at the top of the roasting oven. It can be used for
roasting meat, or poultry with or without the grill rack.
Large quantities of roast potatoes can be cooked in this
tin. The roasting tin can also be employed for making
large traybakes or cakes. The grill rack is useful on its
own as a cake cooling rack. Can be used in any oven
but not recommended for hotplate use.
Half Size Roasting Tin and Grill Rack
This tin can be slid onto the oven runners width-ways or
can sit on an oven grid shelf. The half size roasting tin
can be used with the grill rack, in its high position, for
grilling at the top of the roasting oven. It can be used for
roasting smaller joints of meat, or poultry with or without
the grill rack. Roast potatoes can be cooked in this tin.
The roasting tin can also be employed for making
traybakes or cakes. The grill rack is useful on its own as
a cake cooling rack. Can be used in any oven but not
recommended for hotplate use.

2 Floor Grids
These grids are used on the base
of the ovens to protect the food
from the heat of the base element.
3 Oven Grid Shelves
These are for inserting in each
oven to provide a surface for
dishes and tins which do not fit
direct onto the oven runners. They
can be used in any oven, as
required. See page 20 on how to
locate the oven shelves correctly.
1 Cold Plain Shelf
This has two uses one as large
baking sheet for scones, biscuits,
pastry items and meringues and
the other use as a heat deflector
to cut off the top heat if food is
overbrowning before it is cooked
through.
DO NOT STORE IN THE OVENS
WHEN NOT IN USE.
Wire Brush
This is for cleaning the
raw cast iron surfaces,
keeping them clear of
crumbs and burnt on
debris – which would
otherwise affect the
boiling performance of
pans and the kettle. Use
on the hotplates and the
ovens. Take care not to
touch the enamel
surfaces as the wire
brush will scratch the
finish.
Toaster
This is for toasting bread on the boiling plate. AGA
toast is renowned for its excellence, crisp on the
outside and soft in the centre. Take thick slices of
bread and place in the AGA toaster - if the bread is
very moist or very fresh, heat the toaster beforehand
to prevent sticking - lift the boiling plate insulated
cover and place the toaster direct onto the plate with
the handle at an angle from the handle of the cover.
Close the cover and wait for the bread to toast one
side - this will take 1-2 minutes dependent upon the
variety of bread - open the cover and turn the toaster
over and repeat the process to toast the other side.
The toaster can also be used for heating pitta bread,
toasting teacakes and as a cake cooling rack.
AGA Utensils and Accessories
To get the very best performance from your cooker
we recommend AGA saucepans with the thick tri-core
bases and stacking lids so that the maximum use of
oven space is made and an AGA kettle for boiling
water. AGA Accessories can be viewed at your AGA
Specialist or online at www.agacookshop.co.uk
Getting to know your AGA
If you have not already seen a demonstration, ask
your AGA Specialist for details. A demonstration will
show you how to get the best from your new AGA
and will give you hints and tips. You will also see a
selection of AGA utensils and accessories being
used.

Thermostat Control - Oven
Your AGA Dual Control has three ovens, each of which
is pre-set at a different heat. They are named as:-
The Roasting Oven
for high temperature cooking
The Baking Oven
for moderate temperature cooking
The Simmering Oven
for low temperature cooking
The Slow Cooking Oven (DC5G only)
for long slow cooking
Warming Oven (DCG5 only)
for warming plates and serving dishes
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE
DOORS OPEN.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to fit a 13kg
(28lb) turkey. The AGA heat storage cooker techniques
can be used such as stacking of saucepans in the
simmering oven. This enables the steaming of root
vegetables, rice, steamed pudding, casserole, poaching
fruit all in the one oven leaving the hotplates free and
reducing steam and cooking smells in the kitchen.
The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by
radiant heat, and this is the secret of the cooking
excellence for which the AGA cooker is renowned. An
indirect radiant heat does not dry food out, so it retains
its natural moisture and flavour.
The different zones of the AGA Dual Control cooker are described in the following pages.
The traditional AGA heat storage cooker is famous for the gentle warmth it emits, with the AGA Dual Control you will get
warmth only when the ovens are on or warm to a lesser degree, when the hotplates are on.
