Celebrity Chef Paul Flynn on his new AGA Total Control

"My favourite cooking has always been slow, one pot cooking where all the flavours are allowed to combine and develop, and the meat gets meltingly tender. My new AGA Total Control is just perfect for this."  

Paul’s favourite AGA Recipe

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH GARLIC, ROSEMARY AND BUTTER BEANS

This lamb shank recipe is a perfect example of how to get the best results from the AGA Total Control.
 
I like to serve this with some mashed potatoes or celeriac mash.
 

Serves 4

Ingredients

 
4 lamb shanks
2 good sprigs of parsley
4 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper
2 table spoon of duck fat or oil
2 carrots
2 sticks of celery 
1 leek
2 small onions – all vegetables cut into nice even 2cm chunks
1 bay leaf
½ bottle of red wine 
400mls of chicken stock 
1 tin of butterbeans, drained and rinsed  
  

Method

 
First for the lamb shanks Turn the shanks in seasoned flour. Pat off the excess and fry in a solid casserole over  high heat until golden and crispy.  Remove from the casserole and set to one side. Drain off the excess fat and add some fresh oil.  Add the carrots, celery, leek, onions, garlic  cloves and herbs and cook over a high heat until the vegetables are browned.
 
Deglaze the casserole by adding the red wine, scraping the residue on the bottom of the pan and stirring well. Add the stock or water to the casserole, place the shanks on top of the vegetables, cover and cook in the simmering oven for four hours.
 
When the lamb has finished cooking, skim the fat from the top, add the butterbeans and parsley, salt and pepper and serve.

 Tom Doorley launches the Aga Total Control at Taste of Dublin

 Aga will be launching the new AGA Total Control at Taste of Dublin, with the help of foodie Tom Doorley.
 
The revolutionary AGA Total Control is an AGA you can switch on and off as you please – the result of years of research the development, it brings the iconic cooker firmly into the 21st century.
 
While it enjoys the same looks as a classic AGA, beneath its sleek cast-iron exterior lies a state-of-the-art touchscreen control panel. This new technology enables owners to operate the cooker in a way that suits them.
 
Each of the three ovens and two hotplates can be operated independently or together. On a chilly winter night, for instance, the Aga can be fully on, while on a balmy summer evening just one hotplate can be activated to cook a light supper. And with rapid heat-up times, it really is very flexible.
 
AGA Total Control will appeal to a whole new generation – those who are at work all day, but have always coveted an AGA kitchen, and who appreciate both the design values and great food for which the AGA is famous.
 
Available in 11 stunning colours, and with great food as a given, it’s now even easier for the AGA to become a way of life  - as it has done for generations.
 
Taste of Dublin takes place at the Iveagh Gardens from Thursday 9 June – Sunday 12 June. Make sure to visit Tom at the Aga stand on Thursday 9 June at stand Number 80 (opposite the Waterfall)
 
The AGA Total Control is priced €10,995.

AGA Guide

 We are thrilled to announce that we have launched a brand new, definitive AGA Guide. This 36-page magazine, complete with an 11-page buyers’ guide, contains everything you need to know about AGA.

The AGA Guide has been designed to give a real flavour of life with an AGA cooker and to answer any questions you may have about every aspect of buying and having an AGA cooker installed.

The magazine section includes 20 reasons why the AGA cooker is so loved, Emma Bridgewater on how she grew up with AGAs to lean on, Charles Smallbone on creating the perfect kitchen, a guide to the beautifully practical AGA Cookshop Collection and a round-up of what some well-known AGA fans have to say about the world’s most famous cooker.

There are also details on how the new generation of programmable AGAs can help save on fuel costs, a nostalgic look back on the history of the AGA and an explanation of how every AGA is created by skilled craftsmen using techniques passed down through generations.

The indispensable buyers’ guide features details of every model – including the AGA Freestanding and Integrated Modules – the palette of AGA colours and the AGA’s vital statistics.
