1920s: The birth of the AGA range cooker

It was in 1922 that blind Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr Gustaf Dalén invented the world’s first heat-storage Cooker. Confined to his home after a failed experiment cost him his sight, Dalén was inspired to create a better, more efficient range for his wife, Elma, who constantly had to tend to their old-fashioned range.

Dalén created a Cooker capable of every kind of cooking simultaneously, through its two large hotplates and two ovens. The now famous AGA was born and by 1929 manufacturing was under way at the AGA Heat Ltd factory in Smethwick.

1940s: Demand for the AGA cooker marches on

As Europe was gripped by war, an AGA cooker became a life-saver for many families. The British government placed orders for AGA cookers for canteens in munitions works, communal feeding centres and hospitals. Demand increased so dramatically that the waiting period rose to a staggering 27 weeks. A second manufacturing plant was opened in Shropshire.
