The percentage of people that have an Aga in their house as opposed to amore conventional oven is incredibly slim but of these people, the percentage that are happy with their decision is incredibly high. And it is not just Aga owners who like what they are about. There are thousands of people out there who area massive Aga fans but who have yet to fulfil their dream of buying one.

Most people know what an Aga is but a lot of people are not truly aware of how many times they can come in handy and the amount of different things that they can be used for. So here are five things that many Aga honours may not have known about or thought of and that may finally convince those of you who have been day dreaming of owning one to go out and make it happen:

Drying out electronic items Many people have dropped their phone or their MP3 player in a puddle or put it through the wash and it is a common misconception that there is no chance of salvation. The gentle heat omitted by an Aga is just right in order for you to leave the device in a bowl or a cup for a couple of days. More often than not this will bring the device back to life.
Magnetic cork trivets This is a very nifty piece of design that will have Aga owners everywhere breathing a sigh of relaxation. This product is designed to attach to you boiling plate lids to allow for a flat surface on which to serve. With the Aga taking up such a large space in the kitchen this is exactly the invention that is needed to solve the problem.
Drying herbs This may seem like an obvious one but it is something that is often overlooked. Hanging herbs above your Aga allows for a slow drying process which leaves the herbs in the best condition.
Hot water for household chores The cost of heating water using a boiler is staggering when you take time to look at it in detail. If you have an Aga the simple solution is to leave a pan on the side at all times for doing the dishes and when it comes to mopping the floor you can put a pot in the oven for a while.
Drying pans Putting big pots and pans in the oven for a short time after washing ensures that they dry without water streaks.
