Easter Tips

Since it's Good Friday tomorrow here are some tips about eggs for you all to enjoy!

• If you are lucky enough to have a four oven AGA your Warming Oven will hold a fried egg with a runny yolk for 20 minutes without the yolk getting hard - so useful if the phone rings just as breakfast is ready..
• Put your empty eggshells in the simmering oven to dry out, crunch them up and then use them as slug repellent on your garden.
• Fat free fried eggs on the Simmering Plate using Bake-o-Glide are a way of life here at AGA London and hopefully you know the way to cook these perfectly by now, but did you know when you get really experienced at it you can do scrambled eggs or even omlettes using this method?
• Cooking for the whole family this Easter? You can fry your eggs in a lined roasting tin on the floor of the Roasting Oven in one go, rather than doing batches on your SImmering Plate.

We hope you found these eggcellent (sorry) facts useful - if you have any questions please email us on rosie@agalondon.com or jess@agalondon.com and we wish you all a happy Easter.

Eggs on the AGA

This morning saw us all in the Brompton Road store, where we cooked breakfast for assorted Prime Location estate agents. Our CEO, William McGrath and MD, Maureen Williams were both on hand to extol the virtues of our splendid cookers.  With grilled bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes, toast and (of course) AGA fat free fried eggs we helpfully backed up their point that the AGA will help make any house a home with its cooking which is second to none. We also made blackberry compote and overnight porridge for those who prefer a slightly lighter breakfast on a chilly spring morning.

The estate agents seemed very much to enjoy themselves and we look forward to working with them in the future. 

Special event tonight

Tonight in our Marylebone High Street shop we are playing host to Pete Digby, who is going to be pulling an AGA around the London marathon on the 21st April. Pete has previous experience, as he did the marathon with a washing machine back in 2011. He is raising money for the Afghanistan Trust, a charity who look after soldiers and their families of the Parachute Regiment who have been injured or killed in Afghanistan.

Today he is talking to the press, to raise awareness of his amazing efforts. If you would like to pop by and show your support, he will be with us from 6pm-8:30pm tonight - Monday 25th March. There will be AGA cooked canapés (of course) and some nice things to drink.

If you would like to support Pete and Paul Milson (his support man on the day), but can’t make it tonight please go over to his Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/agaman and donate generously, it is an extremely worthwhile cause.

If you would like to learn more about the Afghanistan Trust and the excellent work they do supporting soldiers and their families, their website is as follows.

Keep your eye out for Pete and his lovely AGA Agatha during the marathon, I’m sure he’ll be easy to spot!
