AGA 48 inch induction range
Comments (8)Well, there's no heat from the cooktop, but there is heat from the pot! And the pot does heat up the cooktop, so be careful right after use when it's hot enough to burn you. The original AGA cooker was designed for the blind. No adjustments and dials. A range that works like a hearth. The ovens are different temperatures depending on how near or far from the fire, and the mass between them and it, and they're hotter nearer the fire, requiring turning. The hotplates have one hot (which if both have been closed for a long while can boil) and one lower. They're hotter in the middle like French tops, I think. AGA also makes similar looking ranges which have proper burners and knobs for the sighted. :) Induction uses magnets which run on electricity. The oven is probably electric as well. Did you find that in your research?...See More36” Induction Ranges (AGA?)
Comments (31)That's disappointing if the range has been discontinued. For anyone reading in the future, I am referencing the AGA range pictured above (AMPRO36INSS) with the full sized oven and window. Other 36 inch AGA models have smaller ovens with no windows....See MoreAGA 48" Dual Fuel vs GE Cafe 36" Dual Fuel?
Comments (11)@Heather Spencer I'm not a pro but I dove into the ventilation question a bunch when I was looking at what to do in my own kitchen. There are a ton of posts on it here, too. ventilation is pretty location dependent as far as what you can get away with, but what you should do is use a hood that's sufficient for the range you buy, and provide the makeup air system that's required for it. If you are anywhere that has cold seasons, or if you live in a tight house, you need to have makeup air. Passive systems work in temperate climates, but not so great in cold climates. The makeup air system is designed to prevent a backdraft situation with combustible appliances. In a cold climate with good insulation, houses don't leak, which means your hood vent will suck more air from your house than can be replaced by leaky doors and windows, causing a dangerous situation. The higher the CFM, the harder it is to replace the air without a system in place (gas dryers, gas water heaters, gas fireplaces, and even bath fans contribute to this calc). For a 48" range you need a serious range hood (Wolf recommends 1100 CFM for their 48" range if I remember correctly). Anything over 400 CFM typically requires makeup air. I ran through the calculations in the code in my state when I was trying to decide on a range and found out that it didn't take much to throw me into full makeup air system, so I decided to go with induction. If you choose a 48" range and pick a lower CFM range hood, you'll end up with smells and smoke, unless you just have the range because it's pretty and don't do more than boil water or make grilled cheese on it. So, in order to do it properly, it costs money. More in cold climates, where makeup air needs to be heated. Less in temperate climates. My builder estimated about $5-6k for the makeup air system (not including hood). I priced out what I would need from fantech, and it got me close to that number. So it is true that the ventilation + hood can be as much if not more than the range itself. ETA: this isn't specific to 48" ranges - Wolf recommends 500 CFM hoods for their 30" dual fuel range, so it's more about the power of your range than it is about the size of it. But generally the bigger your range, the more power it has....See MoreLooking for an induction double oven. Aga, Fulgor Milano, Cornufe, etc
Comments (8)Interesting… we did recently upgrade to a larger panel and a 200amp service so that isn’t the worry. But hadn’t considered it not performing as well. How many dedicated amps would be need for it to perform as expected? I saw 84amps on the spec sheet for the Fulgor Milano, but I didn’t fully understand that. I reached out to our electrician to help us make sure we’re not overextending our system. Are there any other good solutions for our kitchen then? We’re doing a complete renovation of our kitchen so this seems like the time to add a double oven. It’s an L shaped kitchen with an island extending down the middle and the idea was to have the large oven centered on the skinny part of the island Here’s the floor plan we created. We don’t like the double wall ovens that were put in here by the designer. Requires 3 circuits and takes up a ton of cabinet space...See MoreVirginia Vidoni
