Hi all,


I know many ppl who are interest in HCP asked similar questions. Can HCP be use on electrical stove? Ans is yes and no. They are three technologies that drive electrical stove.

1. Electrical Coil, this is the old technology which all of electricity is waste, glass cooking ware, HCP can be used on it

2. Induction, this is the most common electrical stove currently in the market, the principle is based on eddy current which require stainless steel, iron (ferrous) based cookware to work. HCP made of aluminium and glass cooking ware WILL NOT work on it.

3. Far Infrared, this stove is rather rare and not common here. This is the most efficient electrical stove that has heat transfer efficiency of 93%. HCP, stainless steel ware and glassware can be use on it.

Hi Pinkbear,


You can reference to our http://tinyurl.com/fakehappycall, to see if the pan at Jcube match the fake pan.

Btw Happycall Co. has issued notice on 23 Jul that they will take actions against fake Happycall seller which is a good thing. But do read our blog entry Fake vs Authentic to equip knowledge how to get the real deal.

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.

Thank you for your sharing autumni76, we did our own research. In general aluminum ware are general safe to be use as mostly are anodized (hardened) However, acidic food are best not to store in aluminum ware for a prolong time as it will leech and breakdown the anodized layer. We recalled seeing the warning on the English operation manual but do not know why then. Lucky there is a way to \"repair\" the layer. After a detergent wash, reapply the oil firm layer, it will help to \"repair\" the pan for longer use.

Here is the link from http://alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=99, it will definitely help to ease many mums' mind

Zann:

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

Zann, there are many vendors that are selling genuine product but as i mention the 3 has the most desirable gifts.

If you don't mind, share to us which vendor do you get from. We already bought from 80% of the Gmarket Vendor before. Some are obviously fake and we don't buy from them, waste $$

Zann:

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

autumni76:

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 ?

Probably, she is using induction stove, aluminum is unusable on induction cooker, you can read the reason in page 101 in this thread

Hi

Deeper has two options, Red and Ocher, the later is dull (brown) in colour, 5 layers of ceratinum coating, better at removing odors. Both cost the same selling from $69.90

Jumbo also two options, Red and Ocher Grill, the later has grill line which is same as the one selling in Isetan and has 3 layers of Ceratinum coating. Red jumbo has 4 layers of Ceratinum but no grill line. Isetan Red Jumbo Grill is exclusive and not available in http://www.gmarket.com.sg/?jaehuid=200003223 and there are not info of it on Happycall Korea website. Jumbo starts at $82.90

There are 3 vendors that sell authentic pans and is giving better gifts

2. http://list.gmarket.com.sg/g/404162282/200004112

I guess my question is about the stove then.

English is not my first language, you know

Anyways, the bottom of the pan looks kinda uneven so I'm worried if the heat from an electric plate will transfer well to the HCP.

Yes it can be use on electrical stove. It is posted on Happycall Website. The reason why hcp cannot be use on induction is because induction require iron/steel to work. HCP is made of aluminum. Induction is built based on Eddy Current, the frequency to heat up iron/steel is different to heat up aluminum. Therefore if you use hcp on induction cooker, it will not start just like put a glassware on induction, there are not magnetism to \"spark the fire\".

Std starts from $85, Deeper $88 and Red Jumbo Grill $99 (Rare, you don’t find it at Gmarket)

You will find quite a range there, ceramic pot full range, diamond frying pans, grill pans and even a 30cm wok. Of course, it don’t come cheap if you compare to Gmarket but very affordable if you want to get the pan last minute as gift or single pot instead of a whole series.

At Nex, you are able to find another rare Direct Fire Oven, good bbq item for home if you want the extra oil out of your food but you can get cheaper alternative at Gmarket.

Lastly, they do not provide warranty for Happycall cookware. But you need extra silicon pot holders, there are many options at their accessories area. It will be just a matter of time they will be selling the silicon sealer replacement there.

Just a bit of sharing for those who want to purchase the happycall pan. Only the Standard Happycall Without Hook is been imitated. Those without hook are not imitated yet. I stumble upon and official release from Happycall how to spot fake Happycall pan and i put it in my http://tinyurl.com/hcpspree02. The imitation is quick to copy a lot of standard hcp features, Sticker is no longer a good yardstick to determine the authentic. The darker plastic circle is harder to imitate as according to one my client who is in the plastic mold industry. Fake quality is not good at that. Silicon tube are also harder to fake if you use the wrong material. If a HCP cost around $30~$50 in korea, plus ems shipment around $20 plus , you know they can't sell you so low even at large quality
