The Blake & Bull showroom was happily busy last week, a steady flow of restoration enthusiasts came to see our fully restored heritage 4 oven Aga range cooker.
One question we had from a guest was 'if you are recommending that I reduce my hotplate use, using the ovens instead, how do I cook pasta?!'
Good Question! We exclaimed. We set about testing right away. 300g of Penne pasta was weighed into one of our WOLL pans {they are light, and the handle comes off!}
We chose to boil the water in a kettle, this used a tiny amount, around 0.167KWH of electricity. {further information about when to boil on the hot plate and when to switch to an electric kettle}
We then boiled the pasta on the bottom of the roasting oven floor! You can save money on an Electrikit Aga range cooker {quite a lot over a calendar year!} by only using the hotplates as and when you need them {further information}, using the ovens as flexible hotplate & oven. In this scenario the sauce could be warming / keeping warm in the simmering oven {low runners}
- Roasting oven was at 200℃
- Pasta - 300g
- Water Boiled in kettle
- WOLL pan {handle off!}
- Nice thermal oven gloves - buy here
