Thank you for the explanation


I suppose if they are authentic, the qualities and feTures would be the same?

Have decided will probably get from http://superbmothers.blogspot.com/
After browsing through many sites.

I hv some questions though.
It is made of aluminum ? Dunno why my neighbor said if made of aluminum she does not want. Is it bad if made of aluminum ?

This mayn't apply to HappyCall? HappyCall has a ceramic coating so the aluminium doesn't get into contact with food? :xedfingers: Please say yes. I love my 2 HappyCalls and I just bought a 3rd one!!

The ones sold at United Square basement and Isetan are authentic. Just go and buy there. No need to order online.

The sealer is the silicone tubing that seals the pan when closed. It needs to be replaced when the pan begins to leak everytime you turn it over the other side.

Chenonceau,

Does the United Sq store sell only the Std size? Or, does it carry other sizes as well?

They may have run out of Std. They have the DEEP but red in colour... not ocher.

Just want to know how to check if the Happycall we receive from vendor is fake or authentic?

My Happycall getting quite dirty on the exterior and I tried to scrub it but it did not work. Anyone can share tips how to remove the exterior stain? Also when would it be time to change the sealer? TIA.

Hi Zann, you can look into the FAQ in our second spree tinyurl.com/hcpspree02, the Q how to spot a fake pan, there are some pictures provided by Happycall to compare real and fake pan.

We use a metal stain cleaner to scrub the stain of the outer layer, it remove some but mostly cannot be scrub and if we scrub too hard, the porcelain layer will wear off. Waiting for astonish to see if it can do the job

BTW, how do you know if the food is cooked... Keep opening to check?
I used medium heat and still burnt some parts of the drumsticks I was cooking coz I couldn't look inside... I saw your blog on the roasted chicken but mine burnt despite only using medium heat for less than a minute and turning down to low heat for the next 5 minutes... I used Korean BBQ sauce and it was quite sweet. So how to control the heat for meats with such marinades?

Thanks superbmothers. My HC only fulfill the first criteria. My vendor was not one of the three mentioned earlier in your post, so does it mean i got a fake one

My neighbor iS using PUB gas cooking.

So she can use happy call.

Oh. She explained today it is coz aluminum might cause alzhemier.

Then again, many many things we come across these days have aluminum.even can drinks.

Sme info from a friend

The majority of the human population in the industrialized nations ingests a minimum of 30 to 50 milligrams of aluminum metal per day. An examination of labels on consumer products will reveal that many of them contain the metal, aluminium.
Most foods contain aluminum products. Beverage cans, aluminum foil in contact with food, aluminum pots and pans and aluminum in drugs (including most antacids) insure that the cumulative load of aluminum in the human body eventually reaches critical level.

Cooking with permitted food additives (additives are acidic) increased leaching of alunium from aluminium cookware to food.

But I still order happy call pan anyway.

Coz so far, I did not come across read ups on aluminum giving organs failure which is what I am scared of.

And I will follow my colleagues advices, to use it for frying meat or oily stuffs.
Am not planning to use it for baking or non oily stuffs.
Btw, most of my colleagues have happy call pans too.
