The Aga saga is a subgenre of the family saga genre of literature. The genre is named for the AGA cooker, a type of stored-heat oven that came to be popular in medium to large country houses in the UK after its introduction in 1929.
The Times, in a 2004 article, characterized the genre as the "older sister of the sex 'n' shopping romances". According to a critical analysis in The Independent, the genre rose to prominence in the 1990s not as a continuance of the celebration of "sex and shopping [that] reflected the materialism of the 1980s", but as a signal of "disillusionment with those values".https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aga_saga
Popular Aga Saga Authors include: Joanna Trollope, Maeve Binchy, Rosamunde Pilcher, Catherine Alliott, Mary Wesleyhttps://www.writerswrite.co.za/aga-saga/
AGA is often used as a generic term and there are a few other manufacturers of heavy iron cookers. Some can run on environmentally friendly wood or pellets.https://food52.com/blog/26063-the-le...in-s-aga-stove
I know plenty of (genteel) British kitchens featuring A cooking-range fitted with various appliances such as ovens, plate-warmers, water-heaters,https://languagehat.com/kitchener/
They’d be called ‘Aga’s, even if they’re not actually Aga’s.
I think 'stove' of 'range' is the best generic term (see here for example). But many English people (can't speak for elsewhere) would use the word 'Aga' as the generic term, just as we might use 'hoover' as the generic term for an upright vacuum cleaner or 'black and decker' for drill (or Scotchbrite for scouring pad, or Post-It, or Tippex, or Marmite or cornflakes etc etc).https://forum.wordreference.com/thre...C3%B3n.277067/
Q: I HAVE A RAYBURN COOKER, CAN CHANDLERS AGA MAX BE USED IN IT?https://www.wcfchandlers.com/premium-heating-oil
A. Yes - whilst Aga is a brand, is it also as a generic term often used for range-style cookers. This would include the Rayburn, Stanley or Esse and Chandlers Aga Max will work equally well in any of these ranges.
