Happy Call Korean Frying Pan
-
xflim:
I've read on Supermothers http://superbmothers.blogspot.com/2011/09/happycall-pan-faq_19.html#Q2 that the one with hole is a newer version.
anybody has an answer to this? cos the pans showed on channel U do not come with that hole in the handle but the ones in gmarket seem to all have that hole? I inquired one of the sellers on gmarket and he replied that the ones with holes are new design? i wonder if it's true...anyone knows anything?nemofc:
Hi could I ask if you gals bought the one with hook hole? Or without?
Any diff?
Cheers,
Alex.Y

wah…finally scanned thru all 69pages…eyes popping out…
targetting at biz-J…
other than dasalo, who else bought from biz-j? -
Sorry for the late reply, was busy with the spree and i don't have a scale at home. Lucky my husband bought me one yesterday.
Weights of HCP Pan
All the vendors at http://www.gmarket.com.sg/gmkt.inc/?jaehuid=200003223 will tell you these are the official weights as follows
Pan Type-------Vendors-------My Digital Kitchen Scale weight
HCP Standard-----1.55kg~1.6kg-----~1.58kg (http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404162282/200003223) ~ 1.59kg (http://tinyurl.com/happycallsgs)
HCP Deeper-----1.7kg-----~1.69kg (http://tinyurl.com/happycallzz)
Ocher Deeper-----1.9kg-----~1.68kg (http://tinyurl.com/happycallsgs) ~ 1.69kg (BizJ)
Ocher Jumbo-----2.1kg-----~1.9kg (http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404162282/200003223)
I am not too sure this finding is helpful or meaning less as http://list.gmarket.com.sg/s/HAPPYCALL?keyword=happycall&keyword_auto_change=&jaehuid=200003223 did not release official weight and i am using a kitchen scale. But i am happy with the pan, it is lighter and i am sure it is authentic from http://list.gmarket.com.sg/s/HAPPYCALL?keyword=happycall&keyword_auto_change=&jaehuid=200003223.
Pan Version (Hook Hole vs No Hook Hole, Export Vs Non Export)
Let talk about export non export version. Happycall officially export version is HCP Standard without Hook Hole (Lejel is selling it) and Chefel (Export to US and European Market, however i saw ecosway selling it at their outlet in Gelyang Central, near the hawker centre, i miss it on tip off the first round there, however it cost $104 for non member, look like a regular 55mm pan but ocher in colour)
Domestic Happycall Pan does have the hook hole and it is newer. Deeper, Jumbo, Ocher is not available outside Korea in the name of http://list.gmarket.com.sg/s/HAPPYCALL?keyword=happycall&keyword_auto_change=&jaehuid=200003223, export version is call Chefel. One thing to note, China made Happycall do not have hook hole version for now. Gmarket Vendor (That i have bought) that sell domestic version of Standard HCP http://tinyurl.com/happycallsgs,http://tinyurl.com/happycallzz, http://tinyurl.com/hcpstar (recently) Lejel's no hook version http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404162282/200003223, 99miles, http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404010711/200003223. http://tinyurl.com/hcpglotem is a new vendor carrying domestic series, we have spoke to them but yet to buy from them.
How to spot a fake (My experience)
The pan is too cheap. Current only HCP Standard has fake. A HCP Standard is sold in Korea for around SGD$40, Shipping cost around SGD $20~$40. Most vendors make money by selling extra sealers and the free gifts eat into their margin. Domestic Version don't come cheap, so you can see why http://tinyurl.com/hcpglotem, http://tinyurl.com/happycallsgs, http://tinyurl.com/happycallzz do not offer much free gifts. Perhaps non hook export version is cheaper, so the other vendor can give more free gifts? Therefore you can conclude if you are buying way less than the \"official price\" at http://www.gmarket.com.sg/gmkt.inc/?jaehuid=200003223, you got to read their review carefully. Imitation pans does come with more fancy box like the one show on Alex Yong http://fakehappycall.wordpress.com, that is the same box sold on China website. (But Lejel does come with their own box) My spree price is $59 for non hook, $62 for hook, $68 for Ocher Deeper n $82 for Ocher Jumbo. Ok this is a recipe page i will stick to the rule, for pan issue go to my http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=27627, or my http://tinyurl.com/hcpspree01 to discuss, i am trying out some recipe from mamas here.

Wash normally with soap and sponge will do...
To play safe, I don't use the green scouring pad side...

Thanks for your prompt reply.....do you mean that I can put the pan under running water to wash with soap and sponge??? also can dip the whole hcp into a basin of water to wash????(of course, cannot use any hard pad to wash this one I can understand).....I'm just thinking if can wash this way could be faster and easier...... -
