When making pancakes, cook the first side in the usual way in a pan on the boiling plate, but then flip it over to cook the second side on the lightly greased simmering plate. You can then start another pancake in your pan, and double your production speed.

The perfect little gift for Aga lovers
Fifty tips, ranging from the ingenious to the indispensable; all geared towards getting the most out of your Aga. Every owner knows the wonders of Aga cooking, but this is an Aladdin's Cave of practical advice that extends beyond mere cooking pointers -- from how to clean wax-smeared candlesticks to drying out kindling. There are, of course, excellent food tips to boot, with (already well-headed) information on how to cook the perfect cob of sweetcorn and how to roast your own coffee beans. A book of little tips, full of big ideas.

Astonishing little content
This is a little book, nothing misleading in the title or physical size.

What I find astonishing is that every other page just consists of a number in a large font which refers to the tip on the facing page, which in most cases is barely half full, and then only because some words, singly, are in a large font.

Tips include (11 summarised) use an oven timer so you know when something needs checking.

Some tips are actually useful, but this book is sized to disappoint in my opinion but then its only £2.79, its put me off other books by the author.

The Little Book of Aga Tips
Having bought my Aga two years ago and not really known how to get the best from it, this book has really opened my eyes and shown me the versatility and various options open to me. It has been written with humour and indepth knowledge - packed full of useful advice it is surely a 'must have' for every Aga owner, new or old.
