AGA Cast Iron
Cast Iron retains and distributes heat perfectly and who would understand this better than AGA. Cast iron cookware has been part of Britain’s history for over three centuries.
The AGA owned foundry in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, where all AGA and Rayburn cookers are manufactured, produces the AGA range of cast iron cooking pots. Designed and manufactured in Shropshire by dedicated craftsmen to provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment.
Cast iron retains heat which radiates onto food to lock in flavours and succulence during cooking, it is also perfect oven to tableware because it keeps your food warm, ready for second helpings. Ideal cookware for food that requires slow, steady cooking as cast iron accumulates and retains heat so that cooking can be carried out at a lower temperature. AGA cast iron features a rich, highly durable, fully enamelled finish on the exterior and acid resistant enamel coating on the interior, which ensures your cookware remains as stunning as the day you bought it.

Hard Anodised Aluminium
Hard anodised aluminium is produced when a piece of aluminium cookware is placed in an electro-chemical solution and subjected to an electric current creating an extremely hard material that is non-porous, glass smooth and twice as strong as steel, whilst retaining the excellent heat conductivity of aluminium. The layer of aluminium oxide created is non reactive and resistant to chips and cracks, but should never be washed in the dishwasher as this will damage and discolour the cookware. All AGA Hard Anodised cookware products are made in the UK.
