HUGE Upgrade to the Kitchen – AGA Masterchef Delux Install

ByMAKE. DO. GROW May 25, 2024 0 min

For the last three years we’ve been cooking on a camping stove but today our kitchen renovation takes a huge step forward with the arrival of my dream cooker. I’ve grown up in homes with AGA stoves and love the timeless design, quality craftsmanship and modern cooking technology.

Watch the installation process, take a tour of our fancy new machine and enjoy a brief test drive to see how it performs.

We ordered this cooker from AGA Bras Lda. in Portugal who handled everything including the delivery and install. For more details, head to https://www.agaportugal.com or contact José Martins [email protected]

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
