It is designed to be easy to clean, with the cast-iron ovens capable of self-cleaning through high-temperature cooking. The cooker also emphasizes energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional models by allowing users to control each component independently. The combination of classic design, modern technology, and energy efficiency makes the AGA Dual Control DC3 Cooker a premium choice for those who value both style and functionality in their kitchen appliances.
