Dear mums,


The happycall pan price always fluctuate in Gmarket. Given the stocks they are holding on hand, it will soon goes south again to the upper $60 range which is the norm stable price. As i am writing this, one of the vendor has dropped the price again to $72 instead of the $80+ range. I have update the vendor to my blog.

Notice one thing in particular is that most of the vendor who raise their price to $79 are now using EMS or Eurasia (Express) instead of Eurasia (Standard). EMS cost additional $12, that work out to $65, if the standard pan is shipped using Eurasia (Standard).

The price raise may due to Eurasia has been max out. I recalled my hcp arrived on presidential election day, the courier, an outsource agent of Eurasia told me that the warehouse is full of goods shipped from Korea and they don't have time to do all the delivery. It could be the reason why EMS is use now (EMS is faster) and pass extra cost to us.

So mums, let wait for the price to drop to the norm first. The vendor has not much choice.

I am cooking enthusiast and i got my frying pan as a gift, it is really quite cool but it is kind of heavy to weld and i am not sure i used it wrongly, but mine is not 100% water tight... my stove is kind of messy after i use it... but the effect of pressure frying is really cool, especially if you are frying chicken cutlet

Item bought from http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404040063. This is the 55mm version of the pan.

Like
1) Quick turnaround
Ordered on late 16/9, posted on 21/9 and received on 28/9. Only 8 working days!

2) Item reasonably protected with bubble wrap.

3) Tracking number to track delivery status.

Dislike
1) Seller's phone number listed is an invalid Singapore number.

2) Seller is not responsive to questions posted by buyers.

hi BigD,


for family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids), what is the right size pan to buy ?
is it 55 cm also, like yours ?

Thanks for advice,

[BigDevil]

55cm deep?!!!? That's a pot, not a pan!


We just took delivery yesterday...have yet to start cooking with it.

I would believe that's a good size to get...should be enough for a few pieces of pork chops, or 2 fishes. You will have to consider the weight too. The 55mm is quite heavy as it is, without any food in it.

Thanks very much, BigD.

BigD,

Thanks for your review/update. Can you check and feedback on the coating? Does it look/feel like Tefal non-stick type of coating or more rough and you think it should be the coating that HPC claims it has? Your seller is the only one that did not decrease price last week when the rest did.

Thanks in advance.

Dasalo,
I have yet to get mine. Like Dasalo, I missed the boat to get it when the price dropped. Yesterday the price went up and now, I am waiting for it to drop again. Macam like stock exchange.

From what I remember, the coating is not smooth like the Teflon coating of normal non-stick pan. No way I can verify whether it is the coating claimed by HPC though. Will try to take a picture of it to show you.
