These are essential for anyone with an AGA and protect the shiny tops from scratches however the only downside is that the white side of the pad does get dirty quite quickly and although you can pop them in the washing machine, they never get pristine.
I have two sets: one on and one in the wash!
My Aga lids remain pristine and scratch free. Hot pans and trays can be rested on them and small items dried there. The pads make handy oven cloths.
When they start to wear out, they take on another life: slipped as protection between large pans and serving dishes stored in cupboards.
Just bought a new set to replace our (very old and much-used!) previous chef's pads. The pads keep the lids protected and scratch-free, so our AGA always looks brand new! They are great for putting pans and dishes on whilst getting ready to serve dinner - keeping everything warm, and resting the meat. And they wash and wear well.
I really wouldn't be without this chefs pad. It acts as a protection for my Aga lids when cooking. It also doubles up as a heat resistant pad when serving too. Love it.
My new chef's pad is more useful than I could have imagined! by N Whitefield
I have recently bought a Chef's pad for the first time, after owning an Aga for 39 years and what a revelation! So useful for drying plastic containers on or delicate items of clothing that I wouldn't want to place directly onto the oven. I should have bought one years ago as I realise it would have protected the lids from scratches too.
These are really good - I bought one for each lid and we use them everyday. Since we had just had a refurb including new lids we want to keep them looking good for as long a possible and these mats are excellent protection and store easily.
Purchased a new set as my original one is threadbare after 18 years. They always look so stylish and protect the lids really well. A very versatile item.
Vital for making the hobs useable as a surface and resting pots and pans on them to stop sliding ; also protects the chrome from scratching also good for covering the job so I can prove dough on the simmering top
Perfect multi purpose item by Sarah
Great addition to my kitchen, they look great perched on my AGA, and they are wonderful for protecting my work tops as well as being there for when I need to grab something to pull a casserole out of the oven.
Would not be without them by Wendy
Fantastic product, used every day and yet but such a simple idea
Washed well. Great for grabbing hot pans
I'm sadly no longer an Aga owner but I wouldn't have been without my Chef's Pads. They were invaluable to protect the surfaces of the lids, double up as oven gloves, and they looked great too. I recently bought a pair as house-warming gift for my best friend who has become an Aga user.
A must have for all aga owners by Tim
Wouldn't be without them. The old ones have holes in they are used that much - and they look great too!
really useful and prevents damage to chrome tops, look good too and if you cant find the oven glove can be used for that too
Have just bought a new pair of pads after originals were starting to get threadbare after 10 years of daily use. Simply the most versatile bit of Aga kit there is - increase the amount of space for keeping things warm, prevent scratches to the chrome lids and useful for standing hot pans on kitchen surfaces. Couldn't be without them.
Look great with my cream AGA. Looks very sleek,
They last for ages, excellent for grabbing anything out of the oven. Give all round protection and wash extremely well. I also use them to stand hot pans on
I have used these chefs pads since I had my new AGA installed over 10 years ago. Now on my second set and have just purchased a new set as I cannot bear the thought of being without. I have a classic cream colour AGA and the dark side of these pads upmost looks perfect - and the dome tops below are still immaculate.
These are cosy, comfortable, stylish, and useful. Classic design - a must.
Great product, great quality
I love these Chef's Pads - both for protecting the lids of my Aga which are brass (I took the chrome off and found Brass underneath!) and for protecting my hands. They need replaced every few years - and I wouldn't be without them.
A friend gave me my first and life with my Aga became easier. Then I bought two of my own and I couldn't be without them
A nice new chef's pad by Janet
My chef's pad had given good service for many years so I treated my lovely Aga to a new one. Absolutely essential accessory for the fashionable Aga!
I think these are an essential, I have just replaced mine after 5 years. They wash well and offer good protection,the filling in my old ones has broken down and they have shrunk a bit but still fully serve the purpose. The are plush and smart as well as functional. One note I would add is that I think these Classic editions are the only ones I would buy, I previously bought coloured/seasonal edition ones and the colours faded on first wash and Aga never responded or even acknowledged my complaint, but you will be safe with these classic ones.
Excellent product by Tina
Washes well...keeps colour and shape. Delivered quickly
Great idea and also a great product. They really protect the top of the cooker and last very well. Washable also, would not have an AGA without these.
I got them to protect my lids and they look lovely as well. Brilliant and would recommend them to everyone with an AGA they want to cherish.
A must for keeping your Aga looking like new. by Helen
I can honestly say I was never remotely interested in having an Aga, but we were having a big kitchen extension and my husband insisted. Memories of a happy farmhouse childhood. Well I adore it and can't imagine life without one now. I hated even being in our old kitchen and now I rarely leave. I want to cherish the Aga and these mats are a must to keeping the lids looking like new and so handy for putting hot pans on.
And we thought they were cat pads! by lynne
I have to have 2 sets - one for the cats and one for me - they are great.
They do wear out but only because these pads are SO useful and therefore used daily. The product description says it all. Originally purchased to protect the lids, they are heat resistant enough to protect hands from hot handles and roasting tins. Wouldn't be without them.
Keeps my lids shiny and clean, but would be useful if there was a magnetic attachment so they don't fall off when I open the lid!
Really useful and they keep my lids scratch free. Used for many things including a head rest for my daughters when they have a chat whilst folded over the Aga.
My views also Poppy, put the hanging loops back on the pads Aga!!
Miss the hanging loops! by Poppy
I would not be without these pads but I really miss the hanging loops that used to be on them. Come on Aga put them back on please!!
Protects your aga - saves grabbing tea towels to protect the surfaces. I like the black side up & my husband likes the cream. Good monitor of who is cooking the most as to which colour is visible!!
Attach a loop of ribbon, and slide it between coils of lid handle. This prevents pad from sliding off when lids are lifted, but also enables easy removal when using as a pot grab. Been using these for years, the Aga's not dressed without them!
Find these so useful. I use them as a pot grab and to protect the surfaces. I also feel that they help to retain the heat of the aga when placed over the lids.
I think they are a must for any Aga. But the cream side does get dirty very quickly. I would prefer if they were black all over as mine do get an awful lot of use!! I have the Christmas Pudding ones that I love but these ones are good for everyday use. Would also be nice if they came in the same colours as the oven gloves and tea towels.
Best Textile Covers by LuAnn
I have tried many covers and these are the hardest wearing. They look good, they stop things sliding off the lids and are great as pot holders or heat mats. The best thing about these pads is that they wash well and don't shrink up.
Absolutely great for protecting your shiny chrome covers and really handy for that extra insulating pad when something hot is heavy. They wash really well and last ages. in my opinion, an essential companion to the aga
Great Quality I cannot believe how long they last years ! Very pleased
An aga would not be an aga without these traditional black and cream pads on top. Mine take a real hammering from hot pans. They make loads more work space by dumping things on top of them and certainly save your shiny covers. They wash well and last for years. i have fancy christmas ones but these are my workhorses!
Good and versatile - but why only black/cream? Navy and other colours would be very welcome.
I love these pads. They are really versatile. They wash very well, although I could not remove all of the stains. Very good for getting dishes out of the aga and for putting dishes on to. Would love to see them in different colours.
Thank you for your review. AGA take a lot of care to ensure we give our customers all the information we can, our chef's pads are manufactured from 100% terry cotton and made in the UK. This image was taken to show both sides of the chef's pad, one cream, one black. We are now planning further photography resulting from your feedback. Many thanks, The AGA Cook Shop Team.
Mis-leading Website by Andy
Product is good, same article for sale elsewhere at half the price. Picture leads you to think you are buying 2 .... easy to miss the "sold as single" under decription .... not happy .... come on Aga, you're better than this cheap trick
