    Originally developed to burn coal or anthracite, the Aga cooker was invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize-winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén (1869-1937), who was employed as the chief engineer of the Swedish AGA company (Swedish Svenska Aktiebolaget Gasaccumulator, English Swedish Gas Accumulator, Limited).[2]
    Dalén lost his sight in an explosion while developing his earlier invention, a porous substrate for storing gases, Agamassan. Forced to stay at home, Dalén discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he set out to develop a new stove that was capable of a range of culinary techniques and easy to use.

    in America, the oven aka stove, there is a the bottom drawer which is actually called a “warming drawer”. It was to be used for warming plates. However, today majority of American homes have central heat and the bottom drawer of the oven is generally used to store the broiler pan or other small pots or trays.

    The Aga is made in Telford, and overlooking the factory there is currently an old chapel for sale. It would convert beautifully to a house. Overlooking a factory does not sound too good, but the area is well wooded and part of the World Heritage Site of the Ironbridge Gorge.

Now, regarding the plate warming. When I was a child (1960's) my mother always warmed the plates. I still do if making a hot dinner, not so much in the summer. It helps to keep the food at the right temp. I also warm them for dinner parties and for the holiday meals.

    My mother used my grandmother's old coal stove back in the sixties and it was lit all the time. In the summer the fire was tamped down and only hot during meals. The house also had a coal furnace in the dirt cellar, and it was my job to put in coal and take out the ashes. We used the locally mined anthracite and a room at the front of the cellar was used as the coal bin, refilled through a window in the front.

I was able to find 1 very small Aga online, 20" with 2 ovens for with warming plate on top for $5,819.00 USD. YIKES

    My folks (I grew up in the SF Bay Area) sometimes warmed their brown german made plates when I was little. I think my mom simply popped them into the oven a little while before dinner. But my dad was European influenced as he grew up on the east coast (US) and has a lot of European and Irish family. So much of our kitchen wear had been gifts or souvenirs made in Germany, England or Ireland so while we had never heard of an aga…a lot of this I can relate to. 😎👍🏻

    I had heard of an Aga, even went to a showroom to see one in person (loved it!). Great for colder climates but not necessary here in north Texas; our houses are built for air conditioning, not so much for heating.

    Lol. One week out of the year when it's warm...summer months....month. Lol. I never thought I could get enjoyment out of a married couple badgering one another but y'all are just hilariously enchanting.

    You have encouraged us to have another go with our tennis racket toaster on our AGA now we know how not to burn from your 1950’s manual - Cheers 👍

    Thank you for this episode. The AGA is amazing! Would love to see Julie cook others recipes on the AGA for future episodes. Will be making Luke's sandwich very soon!

    I am from Illinois.I was in my thirties before I was at someone's house, where they considered it necessary to warm the plates. The cupboards where the plates were stored was against an outside wall and was therefore cold. I am reminded of a description in Mitford's "Love in a Cold Climate" where the Radlett's go in to the dining room early and hold the warm plates to their chests for comfort.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve always been curious about those things.Definitely no Aga or plate warming here in USA

    Great video. If you ever do another cookoff, you could do a toastie vs grilled cheese with the grilled cheese done on the stove. They seem to be about the same sandwich. I'm American so I'm not sure, but I think the Aga vs stove would be more equal/fair.

    Fun! I’ve never seen an aga, maybe in a museum. It would be interesting to see more uses of it. Maybe bring in a food historian, ala Ruth Goodman, to talk about it in more depth and to show some historical recipes that would make use of its features and functions. Really interesting. Predictable competition outcome, which is just fine!😃

    I had never heard of an Aga until a couple years ago when it was mentioned in an English novel. I ha to look it up. Also, I have never warmed a plate, but I sometimes think I should as the food gets cold quickly. For those saying their plates are not cold, my kitchen cupboard's are on an outside wall and inside the cupboards it is cooler. When I make a "toasted" sandwich it is actually a grilled sandwich. Butter on both sides and put it in a skillet.

    Great, informative video about the AGA! I would rather cook with the AGA. I had warmed plates for meals often when growing up as a child when the weather was colder in the Winter months in Texas. Love this channel and appreciate all the work that goes into filming.

    My grandmother had a plate warmer device - about 8 levels of flannel that was an accordian fashion and had wires in each peice of flannel that connected and plugged into the wall. You placed one plate between the level of flannels and could warm 8 plates before dinner. It was great!

    Very few people in the US have heard of an AGA, really. Some people in the US do warm plates. There are actually plate-warming appliances. It's really a very good idea not to put hot food on a cold plate since that cools the food down.

    I find the Aga absolutely amazing and fascinating. In the mid 1970’s my Mom bought a new oven and the top part above the stove was a dish warming shelf. Never used it for plates but did to keep rolls warm and other dishes lol. My favorite sandwich to make is a grilled PBJ, grilled to golden perfection lol. With a bowl of tomato soup. ❤️😆🇺🇸

    Both of my parents used to set a salad plate on top of the pop-up toaster and push the "toast" lever down. My father would always forget to rescue the plate before the toast popped up, so his plate would crash onto the counter. But at least it was warm!

    Love you guys ... you are sooooo fun! Julie, I am Canadian and I have so much the same dialect of English as yours ... however, I do hear that you say 'all' way more English now with a much deeper all ... rather than the vanilla version that Canadians and mostly north Americans say. Love and proud of you to maintain your American accent!

    The first time I ever heard of an AGA was on this channel and I’ve never warmed a plate. So interesting to see how other people do things. What does AGA stand for?

    I’m from Southern California and my parents home is now over 120 years old. We never had an AGA cooker and I had never heard of one until watching this channel. I have also never heard of warming plates (unless you are out to eat). But they sound a amazing!
