After 300 years Aga, the company that makes those warm and cosy ovens that cost a bomb, have been marketing a new gizmo which brings their style of cooking bang up to date.
Latest models of their ovens have had the new technology but now you can add this widget and program your retro Aga to turn on, off, up or down whenever you want saving money, energy and the environment all at the same time.
It caught my eye because how many old things in our daily lives can we add a piece of cutting edge technology to in order to make it better? I’ve just thrown out an MP3 player because it’s not supported by Creative anymore, and with it went connecting wires and a speaker system that won’t work with anything else.
What a waste!
When you think of all the gadgets, laptops and mobile phones that end up on the scrap heap it's commendable that Aga have gone the extra mile to bring exisiting ovens into the 21st century.
