Happy Call Korean Frying Pan

dasalo:

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.

Dasalo,
Thanks for your reply. So your friend never line the pan with parchment paper but just cook over very low heat? My oven keeps having short circuit so cannot use so tried with HCP.

I use only soft sponge for my pan and never scrub with scouring pad. I don't know what went wrong. Once, had a bit of chow tar from making char siew, but cook out the black stuff with water before washing. :scared:

Best way to bake give heat at very very low temperature and add some part of corn powder with fragrance…

No, she did not line with parchment paper just bare. She uses the prima ready made chiffon cake mix.

Maybe, you can try to re-season the pan again ie. heat the pan at low heat and oil it. Leave in for 3 days without washing out the oil, thereafter, rinse it before use.

Your oven having short circuit is common and is due to your not using it often. All ovens (even the most expensive brand) are like that due to our humid weather. You should at least heat up the oven for 10-15mins once in every 3 months even if you have nothing to cook. That way, you keep your oven's heating element out of moisture.

Thanks Dasalo for your suggestion. I will try the re-seasoning out. On my oven, should I call the electrician or the oven repair? Thanks again for your advice.

Just got the Happy Call pan. May I know can preheat the pan empty first as the instructional manuel said cannot? Think it works better to preheat it first.

If your oven is still new, I'll suggest you get the tech to repair and thereafter do the every 3 mths heating maintenance.

I use my oven alot, so I can't leave without it.

Alternatively if u are daring enuf, u can try to turn on the oven at the lowest possible temperature and let it run for half an hr. It takes a few circuit trips.... just make sure you do not yank to a high temperature at once, you shld be quite safe. Like what Dasolo mentioned, the heating element is wet bcos of our weather, therefore causing a circuit trip. Low temp to dry up the element slowly will solve the problem.

When my oven was still on warranty, the electrician came. Unearthed the oven connection and let the oven run for a while. Once the heating element is all dry, he reconnect the oven back and , Wa la! done!

My fren once told me about her husband doing it himself after the tech taught him the know how.

How to run the oven when there's no electricity?

Preheat and coat inside of pan with thin layer of oil using a kitchen paper towel.
