Happy Call Korean Frying Pan

[qms]

kind soul:

Dear class monitor, oh, why do you draw conclusions so quickly? I have no direct relations with this business except that this is my friend's parent's business so after I patronised the shop, saw the crowds in there, spoke to the shop lady, I decided to share this info with my fellow friends here.


I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstanding.

Since this is your friend's parent's business, it might be better for you to put it upfront in your last post. There are many shops masquerading as satisfied customers here, so we have the take actions, if necessary.

Your words will be more credible if you are inform members right at the start.

You can't blame members from being suspicious since you made only one post and the post happened to speak so favourably of the shop.

Hi Parents,


I am considering getting a HCP.
But was advised by SIL not to, because according to her, the Teflon coating is very thick, making it so easy to wash.
So, I am a bit concerned.
What do you think of her comments ?

Regards

I just got a HCP medium size in deep ocher after all the raves. Got it from Mike(G market) and paid only around $67 for it after the coupon discount. Delivery very fast. Took only 4 days.


My review: Super love it! Tried baked salmon and terriyaki pork chop with it. Took no longer than 10 mins to cook and turned out nice on the outside and really juicy inside. My stir fried dou miao using it also retains the vegetable crispness unlike my normal wok. Best of all, can use minimal oil ( healthier!) and reduces kitchen smell and oil noticeably.And surprise of all surprise, my new indonesian helper even knows how to use it as she said her training centre in jakarta teaches them. Gosh! didn't know HCP is so popular. :heresmyfish:

My take: It's easy to wash. Normal detergent washes it clean . It's the drying part which is more le cheh due to it's aesthetics. As HCP is a \"L\" shaped pan, it can't be place upside down in my drying rack as the handles stick out. Would have to be placed on my kitchen counter sideways to dry which does takes up some space on my already small kitchen space. Otherwise, no other complains. In fact, so loving it i'm getting a jumbo one for my MIL.

I can’t wait for my Happycall pan to arrive! I also ordered from Mike(Gmarket). Hopefully they will deliver to me today or tomorrow since it already arrived in Singapore & waiting for clearance.

I went to this shop few days ago. They sell the happycall pans there but all are the deeper type. They also sell other double-sided pans & the shop lady kept promoting one brand called \"Magic Chef\". She said that this brand is very popular in Korea , even more than Happycall. I didn't get anything as I wanted to google about this Magic Chef, but can't find anything leh?

I already got one happycall bought from G market & comptemplating buying a second one. Anyone knows about this Magic Chef pan??[/quote]How much is the shop selling the happycall pan ?

Hi I am trying to make sweet popcorn but I keep failing though :/.. Can anybody help me find the recipe for SWEET popcorn .

Appreciated

Not sure how you have fail. But try this method below:

Ingredients
50g butter
2 tbsp raw popcorn
salt

Directions
In a HCP, melt butter over low fire. After the butter has melted, stir in the popcorn quickly and make them evenly soaked in the melted butter (you have like 20 seconds to do that, you don’t want the corn to pop with the lid off). Cover the lid and no need to lock the HCP. Wait for the delightful popping sounds, off fire when the popping has stopped. Season with salt before serving.

Tip: Do not use too much raw popcorn because they really expand and fill up the entire pot =P

DH bought a HCP for me after seeing it on offer. Only $67.90 with the silicon tubing… My sister has one (She bought it for $70++ last year w/o the tubing) and I saw her making herbal chicken using it. i thought the taste will be less fragrant than using my tefal pot, but it turned out good! recommend this!

Hi, can you share how to make herbal chicken using the HCP? Thanks!

I baked twice with the HCP and both times, the cakes were chow-ta (charred) at the bottom. Even though I tried to reduce the fire and move the pan from side to side during the cooking, still chow-ta. Anyone can help to advice how to get it right so it will not happen again? Is it I need to use Parchment paper? (Parchment paper = greaseproof paper?)


Thanks.

Btw, anyone feels that their HCP has become less non-stick over time? I have this problem too. :sad:

I have never bake on HCP before but I saw my friend did. Very very low heat.

HCP became less non-stick? I'm suspecting you already damage the non stick layer. Have you ever burnt your pan before? eg. food was \"chow tar\" than you scrub with scouring pad? if yes, than likely the case. Another could be your washing method. You should only use soft sponge, any food that stick on it should be soaked out or cook out (cook with water) first.
