When we got our kitchen redone I seriously considered the AGA. The learning curve on how to use it is steep but so worthwhile, especially in winter since it does double duty as a heater. But this extra heat in the summer and the high cost of running the AGA are what convinced us to go with induction instead. It’s so nice to see this oven in action, though, and imagine how I would have used it. Thanks for the great recipe ideas.

I'm a grandma and I love your videos! I never heard of the AGA cooker before until I seen yours! I love eating pretty similar to you. I am going to try that Dulche de Leche! Blessings on your sweet family!
They are the best!! Check used sites like fb marketplace, you never know!! When I told my husband that an aga was my dream oven I also said “this is likely impossible but…” And here we are!
I have had a aga for years, people get very stressed about using them including my husband but they are so easy. You are missing a few tricks with your use of the aga. You have worked out that you loose heat if you have the tops open too long. You can steam your veggies in the aga too in the simmer oven, so you don’t need to have the top open for long. If you can get yourself a Aga book or look at some tutorials online I think it would help you. Love how your life is round the Aga, I love mine. ❤
How is the oven powered? Just found y'all today and I have been watching all morning. I'm a grandma and my family live on a sixth generation farm. We live a similar lifestyle but not as in depth as you, however we are working towards a more self substanible future. I do the garden and preservation and a ton of everyday cooking. I also home school my grandson. I live across the road from my son and his family and I usually prepare breakfast and lunch for him and my grandchildren I also prepare dinner several times a week. First time seeing an oven like yours and I am amazed. Can't believe I have never heard of it before you are very lucky. What a beautiful family and life you have!!!
Thank you!! A 6th generation farm with that generational life - you are living our dream too!! Our oven runs on gas. I'm still in awe that we were actually able to find it at for such a bargain and make it happen. Thanks so much for your encouragement! It's such a beautiful life!
My husband is English. I always wanted an AGA and found one on Facebook marketplace. I now own it, but have not yet used it. It is a 6 burner gas top and 4 oven electric range. Can't wait to get it installed. It is the same color as yours.
My children growing up ate alot of egg custard which left egg whites in plenty. Meringues are an excellent treat and make nice gifts.Seems like the AGA would do excellent for these.
My grandchildren ask for my oatmeal when they stay over at my house. I have been adding whole egg powder and lots of butter and heavy cream to ensure they get plenty of protein. Like you I don’t like to load them up with carbs. I have also fallen in love with ancient grains and use a lot of einkorn berries in my cooking in place if rice because it healthier and goes great in soups, as a pilaf…. I mill it for all my baking. Kids love it too. Love your channel!
My Aga hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m watching a lot of Aga cooking content. With the cooking plates on top losing heat, I see consistently that those with older models like yours try to cook everything they can on the floor of the ovens instead of on the top wherever possible. Apparently the floor of your roasting oven can behave just like a cooktop. But that’s not firsthand experience from me, so I could be wrong. Wonderful video, thank you xx
You are amazing mom/wife. I just love your cooking style and the fact that you give so much nutrition to your family. So inspiring! God bless your work! It must be exhausting cooking so much but is so rewarding and you make it look so easy and enjoyable. You also so clean and so organized. I am cooking also everything from scratch but I’m a messy. 😅my kitchen is very small I don’t have a dishwasher as well and if I have dishes to dry I don’t have space on the counter to cook. Luckily I have small family just my husband and my daughter 2y old. Keep up the great work and if you share your cold remedies for kids that will be so helpful. Thank you 🙏
I so support you homeschooling your children, and others who are doing the same! It has to be so darn difficult with multiple littles/a large, young family...while making homemade meals. I hope you have family or friends who give you some Needed breaks to get away for some time to yourself.
My husband is Scottish, and they are still used in Scotland. I'm unsure whether I want one, or a Pioneer Princess. We've been sitting on it for 3 years now. The heat would be a boon in the winter months, but summer gets really warm here in nH.
Both good options! The summer is definitely not the shining season for the AGA but we've found it bearable where we are in the midwest. We also often keep the temp down in the summer which helps.
I figured out how to do sourdough, with no sourdough!! Just add kefir to the flour. It will ferment the flour!! I combine flour, kefir and salt (syrup optional). I make everything with it.
I had no idea dulce the leche is so simple to make. I’m going to try it. Thanks for the idea. I have two milk cows and always looking for ways to use up milk.
WOW! WOW! WOW!!! I only came across your channel today, (while searching for homemade snacks) I don’t know where I’ve been, it’s such a pleasure watching your Family and lifestyle, home cooking, and estate living I’ve already spent hours watching a few episodes and I know I’m going to go through them all I grew up on an Estate and big farm in Northern Quebec, Canada to a big family and we had the exact same lifestyle but then I went off to college in Taxes and ended up falling in love with this lovely Palestinian girl and we’ve been married for forty years now and we are blest with a big family too all grown up and out but she being a city girl never enjoyed an off grid life she don’t understand it even when I take her up in the country she only wants to return to the city and while we live in the suburbs it’s way not the real life but for this strong handed manipulating girl (in a good sense) is worth giving up a thousand lives but I do miss it much and watching you is such a nostalgia such a deep emotional thing please keep it up it’s so refreshing. Thanks a trillion
I've just found your channel. I also had 4 under 7. Every time I see you bend over to search in your fridge I want to suggest a larger, bottom freezer refrigerator. It will change your life.
One thing I always had on hand in my freezer when the children where home was healthy sweet breads. I made mine with unsweetened apple sauce so my hyper child didn't get those sugar rushes. I always got my nuts from local growers and back then had my own berries.
I love this!! I'm finding it hard to get around to bake as much as I have in the past but when I get the chance I love to stock up with muffins and things in the freezer. That's awesome that you had access to so much locally!
I would love to have an AGA, but unfortunately, the radiant heat would be a problem with southern summers.😢 I do love the rhythm of AGA cooking, though! ❤
My dream would be to have an AGA oven like this ❤ im going to stay positive, and begin the hunt for my own super deal! And i am definitely going to try the eggnog for breakfast idea, the kids and i love it too! So so good for you when you make your recipe also!
I enjoyed your video and the information you gave. I had never heard of an AGA stove. I do have one off topic question... What did you use to finish your wood countertops? I recently moved into an old cabin that had unfinished real wood countertops. I like the looks of yours and wondered how you accomplished that. Thank you! I look forward to watching more of your videos
It's Tung oil and has been such a game changer for our butcher block counters! We actually have a whole video on this. th-cam.com/video/2CZ7OiobUQY/w-d-xo.html
Never heard of an Aga stove. Would surely loved one when i had a family. Now it's just me. I can a couple thousand jars a year, how effective is it at canning?
I’m loving watching your episodes. I do a lot of the things that you do in the kitchen but with conventional appliances. My kids are grown and grandkids are getting older so we are only feeding the two of us. I enjoy seeing your family on here and at church on Sundays.
I just found you yesterday and I love your channel. I never heard of the AGA until yesterday watching your videos. Does the AGA make your house hot running all of the time?
Awesome video. Thankyou for sharing so much information about your Aga. We have been trying to find one for the last several years now. Does your dutch oven fit inside the Aga with its lid on?
We had an aga the very same as that for years and I still miss it. I wonder why you put your refrigerator beside it though. It’s always hot so it’s not going to help your refrigerator . It will have to work extra hard to stay cold. Just wondering g? But love the AGA cooker .
Hi! Yes, having our fridge next to our aga is definitely not ideal. We tried to figure out a different configuration for our kitchen but this was our best layout option (in spite of the fridge being by the aga). Thanks for watching!
Loved this video! I want an oven like this but I’m concerned it would warm up the house too much in the summer. We are in Arkansas and it get soooo hot here
It's definitely not for everyone. A lot of people will turn it down or off in the summer if it's too much. Where we are in the midwest, it's been very bearable.
Thanks for the information and inspiration. Having 4 ovens sounds great. One question, do you ever need more than two “eyes” on your stove. I often find I’m using three and on special occasions I’m using all four of mine at the same time.
This is a good question and something I was concerned about before we got it too. It hasn't been an issue! The burners are quite large so there has been times when I have 2 smaller saucepans on one burner at the same time. Otherwise, I usually only have things on the plates on top for a short time and then to keep warm ill transfer it to the slow cooking or warming oven. Hope that helps answer your question!
Hi! Ours is actually gas. You can use a steel wool or something pretty abrasive to clean the heating plates. The enameled part we just out a towel. It’s not bad but does require regular cleaning like any other oven. Hope this helps!
Hi. Really like your videos. I was wondering how your AGA is powered? Electricity/calls gas/oil/wood? Unfortunately I haven't one but I have used one and I really do like them.
Good questions! Maybe a few degrees at most? We have AC and keep it set at 78 degrees so it rarely needs to run much unless it's really hot outside. It probably costs an extra 10-15 dollars per month on our gas bill.
If you ever reno your kitchen I respectfully suggest you move your fridge away from your Aga. It must be very hard on your fridge that it is hot 24/7. I buy everyth8ng cheap on Kijiji and FB market place and i renoed my whole house including all 3 deep freezes, 3 frodges, double oven and all appliances, cabinets and countertops. You are smart to get aga used and house foreclosed. I do the same -pinch a cent in half. Pat on your back. Can you feel it? 🎉❤❤❤🎉😂🎉😂
One of my fondest memories is when mom would let me lick the spoons after helping her ❤ I’m Japanese, but was born in Brazil. We Brazilians love to put doce de leite (dulce de leche in Portuguese) in everything! In the middle of cakes, as the filling for donuts and so on! It is very sweet though.
Where we are in the midwest, it's bearable. We will often turn it down if we aren't doing major cooking and that helps a lot. We do have an oven in our basement in case we ever wanted to turn it off completely (a lot of people do this) but we haven't found the need to do that yet. Hope this helps!
Venting with windows and fans, excellent heat dissipation. planning helps too, imagine nice skylight for natural lighting and ventilation. In the day we had a screened porch for canning cooking in summer (still very hot in humid south). I use a Burns Milwaukee Solar Oven with great summer cooking success. This is becoming a favorite channel. Reminds me of Jane Shuttleworth - Mother Earth News - In Action!
It really hasn't been as bad as we thought it could be. It increases our gas bill maybe $10-15/mo but in the winter our heater runs so much less so it's somewhat offset then. Thanks for watching!
So what do you do with the chicken feet? HINT: They're seriously good simmered in Sesame oil, with Teriyaki sauce and a bit of grated ginger and Sesame seeds. Then just suck the meat off the bones until you're full!
Ours runs on gas. We have a few dedicated videos on them that answer lots of the basic questions if you are interested in learning more! They definitely aren’t for everyone but we love ours! Thanks for watching!
It's really not bad. Our gas bill is maybe $10-$15 higher each month. But it also cuts our heating costs down as our heat rarely runs unless it gets below freezing. Thanks for watching!

I wouldn't say unbelievably hot. In the winter and cooler spring and fall months, it's lovely and really keeps are heat from running much at all. It can get warm in the summer but most days we turn it down so it's not as hot but still usable and it's really not bad at all. We do have air conditioning as well. Thanks for watching!
How did you afford your stove? I have shopped for them and can’t find one for less than $30,000. Edited to add: ah….you got incredibly lucky. That makes more sense😊I have wanted on for over a decade….one day if I become a millionaire somehow.
When I told my husband that I wanted one, I prefaced it with "this is completely impossible and will never happen but..." and amazingly here we are. I'd definitely look used because you never know! :)
This. I almost fell when I saw the price of new ones- I had no idea such an expensive stove existed. I thought ones that were over $10k were dreamy but a ton of money. Then I looked at used ones and they are more reasonable. Saw some for like 7-8 k which is still a lot but more easily attainable
Didn't know that dulce de leche is known in the States. I know it from my husband who is from Argentina. I only made it one time my self, as well as my husband tried it himself. The result wasn't so good, but my husband's was better. 😊 He orders it from time to time at an online trader in Germany who sells food from Argentina and Brazil. For me that one is too sweet. 😅
I don't know how common it is here but it's so good! Definitely very sweet I think making regular caramel is the norm but we love it! Thanks for watching!
I am impressed with your family. You and your husband are good parents. Bless you all.
Thanks for your kind words and for watching!

Do you really cook meals that good everyday?

@fromscratchfarmstand, how warm does it keep your home especially in the summer months?
My husband is English. I always wanted an AGA and found one on Facebook marketplace. I now own it, but have not yet used it. It is a 6 burner gas top and 4 oven electric range. Can't wait to get it installed. It is the same color as yours.
Oooh!! That's so exciting!!!
My children growing up ate alot of egg custard which left egg whites in plenty. Meringues are an excellent treat and make nice gifts.Seems like the AGA would do excellent for these.
Great ideas! We haven’t made too many custards but such a good homestead food! Thanks!

Very exciting!! I hope you love it!! We typically start things on the plates and then transfer them to whatever oven compartment is needed.

I hope you have family or friends who give you some Needed breaks to get away for some time to yourself.
Thanks!! We are blessed to have a good support system and it really helps that Jim is home too! ❤️
My husband is Scottish, and they are still used in Scotland. I'm unsure whether I want one, or a Pioneer Princess. We've been sitting on it for 3 years now. The heat would be a boon in the winter months, but summer gets really warm here in nH.
Both good options! The summer is definitely not the shining season for the AGA but we've found it bearable where we are in the midwest. We also often keep the temp down in the summer which helps.
Best mom ever! ❤ - Ciara
You're so sweet, Ciara!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
I figured out how to do sourdough, with no sourdough!!
Just add kefir to the flour. It will ferment the flour!! I combine flour, kefir and salt (syrup optional). I make everything with it.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I had no idea dulce the leche is so simple to make. I’m going to try it. Thanks for the idea. I have two milk cows and always looking for ways to use up milk.

Wow - a couple thousand jars! The AGA works great for canning (that was one of my biggest questions initially too!)
Please tell me more about your stove! So curious, I have never heard of that type of stove, would love one
It’s an aga! We found it used on Facebook marketplace. We have a few other videos dedicated to it if you are interested in learning more.
Great video
Thank you!
Do you picked should as onions, beetroot,eggs,potatoes, carrots,apples, jams/jellys
I’m loving watching your episodes. I do a lot of the things that you do in the kitchen but with conventional appliances. My kids are grown and grandkids are getting older so we are only feeding the two of us.

Aw! Thanks for watching and leaving this comment! It always feels so funny to me when real life and TH-cam merge 🙃.
happy holidays y'all
You too!! Thanks for watching!
Would love to have an Aga but not sure about the added heat. Our Oklahoma summers are already so hot! How do you do in the summer?
I just found you yesterday and I love your channel. I never heard of the AGA until yesterday watching your videos. Does the AGA make your house hot running all of the time?
It does warm it up some which is lovely on the cooler months and we’ve found it to be bearable in the summer. Thanks for watching! 😊
Ballerina Farm has an Aga. ❤ love your video
Thank you!
Curious about the AGA cooker. Is it electric or gas? Being on all the time, how does that affect your utility bill? Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
It's gas! It surprisingly really hasn't increased our bills too much. Maybe $10-15/month.
How does someone clean it? The compartments that is?
having an AGA cooker in the south would be best in a Summer Kitchen... AC runs most part of 6 to 9 months a year
Definitely better in some climates than others! Thanks for watching!
Please tell me more about the fuel for the Aga
Ours runs on gas but they do have ways to convert to run off of electric. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Thankyou for sharing so much information about your Aga. We have been trying to find one for the last several years now. Does your dutch oven fit inside the Aga with its lid on?
Yes! We have a very large dutch oven and it fits no problem! I hope you find one!
Good video. Excellent demonstration of the stove. I would definitely get an AGA. Do you often cook with the plate covers down?
Thank you! 😊 If you want to use the stove top plates, you’d have to open them but we often use the oven with them down.
We had an aga the very same as that for years and I still miss it. I wonder why you put your refrigerator beside it though. It’s always hot so it’s not going to help your refrigerator . It will have to work extra hard to stay cold. Just wondering g? But love the AGA cooker .
Hi! Yes, having our fridge next to our aga is definitely not ideal. We tried to figure out a different configuration for our kitchen but this was our best layout option (in spite of the fridge being by the aga). Thanks for watching!
Love that range! What kind of fuel does the AGA use
Ours runs on gas, which is most common but you can get converters for other fuel sources I believe.
Loved this video! I want an oven like this but I’m concerned it would warm up the house too much in the summer. We are in Arkansas and it get soooo hot here
It's definitely not for everyone. A lot of people will turn it down or off in the summer if it's too much. Where we are in the midwest, it's been very bearable.
The question I have about using chicken feet for broth is, how does one get them clean before cooking?
They have a skin on top. That comes off with hot water. I eat the chicken feet. I actually love them so after the both I enjoy eating them.
Everything is thoroughly rinsed before cooking but that's all we do!
Thanks for the information and inspiration. Having 4 ovens sounds great. One question, do you ever need more than two “eyes” on your stove. I often find I’m using three and on special occasions I’m using all four of mine at the same time.

This is a good question and something I was concerned about before we got it too. It hasn't been an issue! The burners are quite large so there has been times when I have 2 smaller saucepans on one burner at the same time. Otherwise, I usually only have things on the plates on top for a short time and then to keep warm ill transfer it to the slow cooking or warming oven. Hope that helps answer your question!
Love your videos! Where are your little stainless steel cups, covers, and straws from?
Thank you!! I believe the stainless steel cups were from amazon and the silicone straws came from a lid/straw set called siliskin I believe.
Loved this video. Is your AGA electric or wood? Do you have pros and cons on any of the heating sources? Are they hard to clean?
Hi! Ours is actually gas. You can use a steel wool or something pretty abrasive to clean the heating plates. The enameled part we just out a towel. It’s not bad but does require regular cleaning like any other oven. Hope this helps!
Hi. Really like your videos. I was wondering how your AGA is powered? Electricity/calls gas/oil/wood? Unfortunately I haven't one but I have used one and I really do like them.
Thank you!! Ours is gas!
Wouldn't heating costs be super high? I've never heard of the AGA... Does it use wood?
What is the red pot you use? You made rice in it. Is the top a pan also? 😊
It’s a le creuset that I got as a Christmas gift and yes, it’s a great little saucepan and the lid is also a little fry pan! Thanks for watching!
I had never made chicken feet bone broth. Do you make it like regular broth? I have a big bag of feet and would like to try to make it. Thank you
The Aga is a British institution, albeit we're putting in a solid fuel (wood) Rayburn, the Aga's little brother. Wonderful
I notice you don’t have upper cupboards. Where do you store your dishes and glassware?
We don't! It's just how it worked out when we renovated our kitchen. Some of our bigger lower cabinets store our dishes and glassware.
How much does it increase the house temperature in the summertime? What is the cost of supplying it with gas if it is on the entire time?
Good questions! Maybe a few degrees at most? We have AC and keep it set at 78 degrees so it rarely needs to run much unless it's really hot outside. It probably costs an extra 10-15 dollars per month on our gas bill.
What do you fuel your Aga with?
It's gas. :)
Do u can on your ada?? Its pretty sweet.😮
Yes!! It works great for canning!
How is the AGA powered?
Ours runs on gas!
If you ever reno your kitchen I respectfully suggest you move your fridge away from your Aga. It must be very hard on your fridge that it is hot 24/7. I buy everyth8ng cheap on Kijiji and FB market place and i renoed my whole house including all 3 deep freezes, 3 frodges, double oven and all appliances, cabinets and countertops. You are smart to get aga used and house foreclosed. I do the same -pinch a cent in half. Pat on your back. Can you feel it? 🎉❤❤❤🎉😂🎉😂
One of my fondest memories is when mom would let me lick the spoons after helping her ❤
I’m Japanese, but was born in Brazil. We Brazilians love to put doce de leite (dulce de leche in Portuguese) in everything! In the middle of cakes, as the filling for donuts and so on! It is very sweet though.
Such a sweet memory! I bet that is delicious! Our kids would love that. I try to keep our dulce de leche consumption to a minimum but it is so good!
How long does the granola last in the jars?
It will last for at least a month just fine in the pantry, ours doesn't usually make it any longer than that. :)
Are Aga's expensive to run? Has monthly utilitie bill increased?
We were very surprised at how minimally our bill went up. Maybe $10-15/month.
Do you process the broth or just keep it in the fridge and use it up.
Greetings from North Bay Ontario.
Hi! We just keep it and use it up within the week!
Thank you.
What is the Aga?
It's our oven! :)
I’ve been interested in the AGA for awhile but I wonder how it is on the hot summer months.
I came to the comments to ask the same thing
Where we are in the midwest, it's bearable. We will often turn it down if we aren't doing major cooking and that helps a lot. We do have an oven in our basement in case we ever wanted to turn it off completely (a lot of people do this) but we haven't found the need to do that yet. Hope this helps!
Venting with windows and fans, excellent heat dissipation. planning helps too, imagine nice skylight for natural lighting and ventilation. In the day we had a screened porch for canning cooking in summer (still very hot in humid south). I use a Burns Milwaukee Solar Oven with great summer cooking success. This is becoming a favorite channel. Reminds me of Jane Shuttleworth - Mother Earth News - In Action!
Does the broth go in the fridge or can it be canned?
We put it in the fridge and use it within the week. You could pressure can it also.
Beans and lentens
Does the AGA stove work from wood?
Ours is gas!
So if the aga is on all the time does it run up a big electricity/gas bill
It really hasn't been as bad as we thought it could be. It increases our gas bill maybe $10-15/mo but in the winter our heater runs so much less so it's somewhat offset then. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get that stool that the kids are standing on?
Oh, good question! We got it as a gift when are oldest was a toddler. It says “little partners” on it. I’m guessing from Amazon.
❤
What fuel does the AGA use in the US?
Ours runs on gas. That's the most common here.
omg if I got down on that floor I wouldn't be able to get back up let alone plan dates there. Oh to be young again!
So what do you do with the chicken feet?
HINT: They're seriously good simmered in Sesame oil, with Teriyaki sauce and a bit of grated ginger and Sesame seeds.
Then just suck the meat off the bones until you're full!
Sounds delicious!
Doesn’t it get awfully hot in your kitchen in the summer?
It hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be! We do have AC and try to keep the oven turned down if it's going to be really warm out.
Is the aga being on all the time using propane or electricity I don’t know anything about them
Ours runs on gas. We have a few dedicated videos on them that answer lots of the basic questions if you are interested in learning more! They definitely aren’t for everyone but we love ours! Thanks for watching!
scalloped potatoes?
If the AGA is "always on" as you say and all compartments are always at their designated temperature, you must have a astronomical energy bill????
It's really not bad. Our gas bill is maybe $10-$15 higher each month. But it also cuts our heating costs down as our heat rarely runs unless it gets below freezing. Thanks for watching!

We asian loves chicken feet...ummmm yum
So good!!
Celsius ?
Fahrenheit. Thanks for watching!
Doesn’t the AGA heat your kitchen and make it unbelievably hot? I love the way they look though.
I wouldn't say unbelievably hot. In the winter and cooler spring and fall months, it's lovely and really keeps are heat from running much at all. It can get warm in the summer but most days we turn it down so it's not as hot but still usable and it's really not bad at all. We do have air conditioning as well. Thanks for watching!
No waste pineapple skin and rice drink.
How did you afford your stove? I have shopped for them and can’t find one for less than $30,000.
Edited to add: ah….you got incredibly lucky. That makes more sense😊I have wanted on for over a decade….one day if I become a millionaire somehow.
When I told my husband that I wanted one, I prefaced it with "this is completely impossible and will never happen but..." and amazingly here we are. I'd definitely look used because you never know! :)
I'd love an AGA cooker, but, it costs more than my truck 🤷♀️
It’s wild how expensive they are new! I’m still shocked by the crazy deal we found on ours. Thanks for watching!
I thought an aga looked interesting. $35000!!! So, i will just envy yours....
Check used - they are out there for much less! Thanks for watching!
This. I almost fell when I saw the price of new ones- I had no idea such an expensive stove existed. I thought ones that were over $10k were dreamy but a ton of money. Then I looked at used ones and they are more reasonable. Saw some for like 7-8 k which is still a lot but more easily attainable
Didn't know that dulce de leche is known in the States. I know it from my husband who is from Argentina. I only made it one time my self, as well as my husband tried it himself. The result wasn't so good, but my husband's was better. 😊 He orders it from time to time at an online trader in Germany who sells food from Argentina and Brazil. For me that one is too sweet. 😅
I don't know how common it is here but it's so good! Definitely very sweet I think making regular caramel is the norm but we love it! Thanks for watching!
That fridge should be farther away from the cooker.
That would definitely be more ideal! Thanks for watching!
You could benifit😢 from some knife skills
Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
