Question

What are the best cooking pans for use on an AGA and gas hob.?

Answer 1

copper bottom pots are the best and also the most expensive. stainless stell are a good compromise. creuset pots and pans are the very best in my opinion.

Answer 2

Pans having copper or aluminum bottoms conduct heat fastest and most evenly. Remember non-stick interiors don't last forever even with the greatest care, (no metal utensils) no matter what guarantee they claim, even on HSN and QVC! A warped pan or pot is almost useless on a flat cooking surface like an AGA cooker or smooth top range, heat is wasted and cooking is uneven. Never place a hot pan in cold water. I have never cooked using porcelain enamal cast iron (LeCreuset). They need care not to be chipped during handling. Cookware will last and look great as long as not too high a heat is used, not handled rough(no sudden temperature changes and not banged about on the stove or sink) and promptly cleaned after use.

Answer 3

Aga Pans
