Happy Call Korean Frying Pan

[Ichigokun]

My mom just bought two HAPPYCALL pans. One of them is the brown one and the other one is the diamond-based wok.


Both are really good. I tried frying an egg on the diamond-based wok with cheese. It could slide about freely and did not stick to the pan.

Are the ones sold in gmarket genuine? There's this brown one they sell but not sold in Isetan... So does it mean they're fake?

I think you mean the deeper ocher pan? Looks authentic to me - I have two bought from gmarket.

It's genuine stuff. My mom bought it at Takashimaya.

Saw the brand Happy Call frying pan in carrefour at plaza singapura.

I didn't own any of these pans.
Just to let those who want to know where to buy them.
By the way, its one month ago, I happened to see them while I was there with my family.
:boogie:

Figure out that I write cold storage instead of carrefour, so has now change to carrefour.

Need help from Happy Call Pan experts here!


I got the Happy Call Pan after hearing all the rave reviews, but found it disappointing as when I cooked chicken or salmon, the pan would smoke and the kitchen smells as if I was bbq-ing food, and when I flipped the pan , the oil and grease would drip out on the stove. Also when I open the pan to check on the done-ness of the food, the oil would drip out again from the "drain". This occurs even when I never add oil to the salmon.
The mess I have to clean on the stove and the splatter when I open the pan to check on the food, and the oily kitchen floor is worse than when i stir-fry!

Am I doing something really wrong??

Hi jnj0910,


From your description, it is indeed messy. When I tried cooking with my Happy Call, it’s quite neat. The smell is minimal & the oil drains tidily to the retainer. Is your Happy Call pan faulty? Could you check with the store you bought it from?

[jnj0910]

haven’t had time to check yet, but my aunt and another family friend who got theirs separately elsewhere, also had similar problems and were not very impressed with their HappyCall Pans and so stopped using too…


wondering if there is anything we are all doing wrong…

I just read about the pan tilting up when flipped to prevent oil from dripping,
I tried to improve on that and its better, but still messy…

Put water inside the pan. Close the lid.


Then, flip/tile/rotate/rock the pan… as long as the exhaust hole is above the water level, there should be no dripping whatsoever at all.

If there is water dripping out from the side other then thru the exhaust hole… your pan got problem.

Use water to test… so it is not messy.

i’m going to korea in nov and thought of buying happycall pan back too… i didnt know such problems will occur… according to my friend, happycall is a great help to her… not messy and greasy at all…

So that means by right the oil should not drip when flipped over?
Still doing homework before getting it. Saw this brand Hancook St James sold at Metro at $62... Made in Korea. The pans can be separated.
