Where are the burners?
Instead of traditional burners, the AGA has two hotplates under the easy-to-lift chrome insulated lids on top. The left hotplate is the “Boiling Plate,” and the right is the Simmering Plate. These allow you to perform all cooking tasks usually done on a burner, plus a wide range of additional tasks. For example, use the simmering plate as a griddle, cooking perfect pancakes or grilled sandwiches directly on the flat surface (and clean-up is easy). When cooking numerous items for the same meal, each hotplate can hold several pots simultaneously.
