Reasons To Buy
Who wouldn’t want a classic cooker - synonymous with heritage, quality and innovation, that can handle delicate soufflés as well as robust roasts, can do toast, boiling water and bread making without any drama, can stand in for your tumble drier (yes, multi-tasking at its best!), comes in sizes to suit each individual’s needs, with large ovens and cooking spaces to handle big or small events, in colours to suit every palette?
Buying an AGA is more than a purchase; it’s an investment that can be handed down through generations, adding value to a house, but also making it a home by providing warmth, ambience and superior quality food.
Cast-iron cooking just tastes better
Radiant heat cooking in your AGA cast-iron range cooker ensures every meal is cooked to delicious, succulent perfection– from frying, to baking, to roasting!
Researchers at the National Centre for Food Manufacturing part of University Lincoln spent time examining the difference between food cooked in an AGA range cooker compared to a conventional appliance. After 18 months, the science showed that an AGA is more predictable and forgiving, cooks more thoroughly and produces food that looks, smells and tastes much better.
Moreover, if treated well, cast iron cookware can last forever, food is naturally less prone to sticking, it gets better with age, and it’s versatile, particularly when creating one pot or pan dishes that need to go from cooker top to oven.
Adding heart and soul to your home
An AGA is more than just a cooker; it’s a style, like a good suit or handbag, just better and far more engaging. Owners adore their cookers and refuse to imagine life without them. That’s because it’s more than just a luxury kitchen appliance, it becomes part of the family. It engenders nostalgic feelings of yesteryear, not only by its iconic look and design, but also for the gentle warmth that radiates, appreciated more during South African winters, and the happy feeling it creates in the kitchen, the heart of the home.
Mention AGA to our farming community and you will hear happy stories of how the warming oven was used to resuscitate newborn lambs in winter, or how Ouma baked rusks and roosterbrood in the AGA.

Go off-the-grid with the Rayburn
For more than 75 years, the iconic Rayburn by AGA has warmed the heart and hearth of many homes, not only playing an instrumental role in the development of great food, but also providing both hot water and central heating too. The Rayburn can be operated as wood-burning or paraffin-fired in a range of models – cooker-only or cooker and boiler models.
The cooker and boiler model is highly efficient and provides up to 80% of the energy an average home consumes in winter, for cooking, domestic hot water and heating, at less than 50% of the cost per kWh of electricity. If you are looking for an oven specifically for your farm that is not dependent on electricity, then select a wood or paraffin-fired Rayburn!
