I am thinking of getting this pan for 2 reasons:

1) fry fish with minimal cleaning
2) fry egg sunny side up (oil splutters)

Saw happy call avail at Qoo...now thinking whether to check out Hancook st James at metro to do comparison.

Janet... do be sure you get the Happy Call, and not another brand. And there are lotsa imitations so ya gotta check that yours is not. Not everything that calls itself HappyCall is the HappyCall. I see imitations everywhere I go... poor ones too... with all the features inconsistent with real thing.

yes u r right... i'm seeing so many imitations all over... even in ntuc and giant... guess it would only ensure authenicity if i buy from korea...

Lots of imitations around. Thanks for the tip, Chenonceau.
I've yet to see a demo for this...but it would be great if the genuine Happy Call can be dismantled for easy wash.

hi janet, not too sure if the pan can be dismantled.. but i've seen my friend wash it... its not that difficult, just like washing 2 pans together...

Next year, we will be at home more…so need to get some appliances to fry fish and sunny side up egg without too much hassle. Ads can be deceiving…word of mouth from mummies here more reliable.

true… i’m now seeing the cooking pot with the lid that can stand on its own… also from happycall… just wondering if bringing this back from korea will be a hassle… my dh will surely nag at me for that…

yes, same response as my dh.... hahaha :rotflmao:

i'll probably buy the pan first... later on expand my collection further... i like to cook and i dun hate washing dishes... but i especially hated the smell on my curtains and sofa whenever i fry fish... i think happycall just solves that big problem of mine...

The oil comes from the salmon.. salmon will produce a lot of oil..


did you open during cooking? if you open, the oil will drip onto the drain. And if you flip afterwards.. the oil will be all over the place. you try not opening the cover during cooking and see how? of cause.. it needs getting used to.. need to estimate the timing..

oh... i think u just hit the nail on the head!
yes, i open during cooking to check on the \"doneness\", and i flip, and after a few minutes will open again the check on the \"doneness\" on the other side...

and will repeat a few times if not cooked....

ya, that's probably why my oil drips over my stove, and my kitchen seems oily...
but how to estimate? surely must open to check right?
the size of fish or type of meat we cook is different each time ...
or should I switch off the gas , then open and check? but the food in pan still
sizzles right after switching off leh...

Imami:

Is it fire too strong? I find happy call pan very \"petty\", only small flame need apply. A little bigger then i can sing \"smoke gets in my eyes\" already...

I use normal big /medium flame as with my other pans.
And yes, it does \"smoke\", my kitchen seems smoky like I am bbq-ing food,
the smell even goes to living room/ whole flat.

so must turn to smallest flame??
ah... thanks!

surely not??
I saw in newspapers announcement from HappyCall Company that they, with isetan i think, were amongst a few local distributors.
So I though only online purchased ones would be more likely imitations...
