There are a host of appliances making a statement these days. In a recent post, we introduced you to the Samsung Family Hub Smart Fridge. Today, we bring you the AGA Designer Ranges.

While AGA ranges have been considered icons of the family kitchen since the early 1900s, they continue to remain on the cutting edge of innovation, which is why they remain a top appliance choice for Chicago kitchen remodeling projects.

Planning to Install an AGA in Your Chicago Kitchen Remodeling Project?

The AGA Designer Ranges are as attractive as they are efficient. With options in black, vintage white, ivory, cranberry and stainless steel - there is a color for every kitchen design - no matter how modern or traditional it may be.

Here are some of the features we celebrate in the AGA Legacy series.

Seven cooking modes

With seven different cooking modes, you can prepare an entire meal, at the same time, yielding exactly the right finish and temperature for each item This is the result of AGA's:

• Defrost mechanism. Using only circulating air, you can safely defrost foods - including meats - quicker, safer and without drying them out.
  
  
• Convection oven. With convection oven technology, food experiences more unified heat circulation, decreasing cook time and improving the outcome.
  
  
• Convection broiling. Finally, the ability to broil evenly and prettily without all that fierce heat concentrated at a single focal point.
  
  
• Fan assisted cooking. You can add fan function, even to the convection process, to assist with the roasting of larger items - like turkeys or roasts - and to enjoy the benefits of cooking on two racks at the same time.

You can also choose between conventional top heating, base heating and browning functions for more customized cooking and baking.

Cook with multiple oven cavities and on multiple racks

AGA's technology makes the more cumbersome double-oven unnecessary. With multiple oven cavities and the ability to cook and bake using different racks in the same space, the AGA range makes it possible to prepare food items simultaneously, at three different temperatures.

Enjoy energy efficient meals

Are you interested in designing a more eco-friendly kitchen? If so, pay attention to the energy ratings provided for various kitchen appliances. The AGA Ranges have an A-rating, which means they are twice as efficient as ovens with a D rating. Plus, the multiple cavity sizes and rack options mean you can choose the right size cavity for a particular dish, ensuring you heat the food and not extra air space.

Additional features make it a joy to cook

In addition to a gas cooktop with sealed burners and continuous cast iron grates with porcelain finishes, your AGA also comes equipped with a glide-out broiler system to protect your hands and arms from high-heat zones, a handyrack removable shelf and a programmable clock for both timed and delayed-baking options.
