Also your grren aga is a beauty hi have a cream six four and love it, i have cooked a twenty pound turkey and all the trimmings i also like to bake and cook and we are a family of five two adults 2 teens and a ten year old and i feel that the oven space is not a problem. but i did get two racks for the conventional and simmering ovens which are stepped and are a little lower than the ones supplied, got these in the aga shop, also the aga pots are great in the ovens and i have used larger tins than the ones supplied in the two right hand ovens. and remember when you look in one oven it seems small but remember you have three og them and a grill. happy aga 6-4 cooking to you.

What a wondeful kitchen! I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my AGA 6-4 in black.I have always loved AGAs & wanted a traditional cooker, but my husband just didn't "get" a cooker that stayed on all the time! The 6-4 was the perfect compromise. I've decided to name my new range "AGAtha" after Agatha Christie! I love mysteries! ;) Kind regards, Diane Hello!

I am in Australia and I would prefer the legacy range however they do not stock it here. I often cook whole salmons which I am assuming will not fit into the smaller ovens? We also entertain a lot and I was wondering if it would fit multiple chickens/meat roasting for 8 people in one oven and maybe 8 souffle dishes in another? or are the ovens too small? I like your choice of British Racing Green! HI Barbara

We are starting work on a kitchen remodel for next January and we were settled on a Wolf but today we found a place with 2 aga six-four ranges for a really good deal. Megan has always wanted an aga so she is pretty pumped for the possibility. Question is...this will be our only oven/range and we wonder if the ovens are big enough. We love to cook, although it is just two of us we do some dinner parties but not a ton. I personally can't remember any one item weve prepared that wouldn't fit in a 1.2 cu ft oven that wasn't done in the smoker or grill anyway. Any thoughts or comments would be great, thanks jeff Barbara, i am jealous of your oven!

You can get half sheet pans at a restaurant supply company for cookie sheets to fit the ovens--Chicago Metallic makes them in regular and nonstick. I have plain ones and I use silpats in them, and they work fine. As for the convection oven--it is really efficient--it is a small oven, so the convection fan really heats it evenly--so, you need to adjust your baking times accordingly. This is true with convection ovens in general, mind you, but the AGA oven is so small that it you really need to watch your baking times. I generally knock ten to twenty percent of my cooking time off. I also have adjusted my baking temperatures down a bit on some things to make up for the oven working almost too well. The ovens took getting used to, but I am now very enamored of them. I still have a big oven that I use for roasting turkeys and such, but I do most of my regular baking and roasting in the AGA and have gotten along well--after quite a few failures. Don't give up hope yet, John! Hey, John!
