Does anyone have experience cooking on an Aga gas range? What's it
like? For $13,000 (the price of the basic model) I could buy a car.


I considered an AGA range but did not pursue it as there are much better (
but also expensive) options. I liked the four ovens and hot plates, but
the hot plates are small and there is not separate burners on which you
can quickly change heat. In my opinion a better option is to have a
stove consisting of:

- One or two large flat tops (cast iron plate over a gas burner).
Similar to the aga hot plate. I do most of my fancy cooking on them
including sensitive butter/egg based sauces.

- Two large burners for sauteing, heating water and being able to change
heat quickly

- Two ovens

My personal favorite is the delaubrac provencal (when I get a larger
kitchen) www.delaubrac.com
