ReplyDeleteHi ho, the standard happycall pan have 2 versions, the one with and without the hole. (myhappycall.co.kr)My aunt bought fr Lejel is without the hole, a bigger happycall word imprinted on the handle, same as official website. But if you probe further, the product page show the standard pan with hole and small imprint of happycall on the handle.

DeleteHi, I've been using happy call for food frying. just yesterday I noticed my happy call, the inner surface , one tiny patch is peeling off. I find it the quality just like the normal teflon non stick pan. what should i do? am i got the fake happy call?

The easiest way to check is to follow go http://tinyurl.com/hcpspree02, search for How to spot Fake Happycall, follow the picture to do a check. else you can always send us a photo so we can help u check
ReplyDeleteHello. I see that the HPC will not work on induction ovens, but what if you used an "induction disk?" These disks are made specifically to heat pans that are not made of steel or iron on an induction oven. Do you know if that would work or not, please?
ReplyDeleteof course, it will work theoretically. induction work on magnetism ie, iron base pot. if the disk is made of iron based, induction cooker will detect the disk and work and heat can be transfer to the non iron based pot. Whether the heat transfer is good, that is another case. btw, can you share where to buy the disk, some reader might want to get it.
DeleteHi mm! Am from Malaysia and bought a HPC from groupon website.. Not sure if its original as the weight and measurements seems off from what is provided on the info page. Can you help me confirm?
ReplyDeleteWish I saw your page earlier before I bought this!
http://www.ilovediscounts.my/products/super-gadget-enterprise/happy-call-cook-korean-30cm-double-sided-frying-pan/
Have yet to receive the actual pan itself but it was shipped from China!
Hi I am from HK and probably bought the same pan that Mayaves has - also from the Groupon HK website recently. Its the basic pan and I bought it for HK$168.
ReplyDeleteI read your very well written and informative FAKE vs REAL Happy Call pan review which was excellent but I was quite alarmed because it sure looks like my rivets are not darker but the same colour as the red coating and definitely my box type is the picture C that you identified in your website. No hologram either. And I can't recall if my sticker in the inside of the pan was pasted straight or crooked.
I used it for the first time today very successfully but I was shocked when the rubber seal came loose during cooking which I thought was extremely strange. I had no idea that there were FAKE and REAL Happy Calls till I read your site. However I would be very surprised if GROUPON in HK and MALAYSIA would sell a fake product. Mayaves if you are reading this please share your experience with me.
I want to know: how and where to get a replacement seal and is the seal supposed to come loose during cooking? Do we need to glue it? When washing the pan - do we remove the seal to clean?
Thanks Elaine
Hi Elaine, don't glue the sealer to the pan, it will created more toxic as the sealer is on the top pan!. Sealer replacement should be easy available in department stall in hk that sells happycall pan. Alternative, you can go to qoo10 website or tmall office happycall website to purchase. if you need the link, you can email us
DeleteHi Elaine
DeleteYou have described all my issues with my HappyCall pan. Getting the seal to stay in is a major issues. The spare one was way too short. The pan did not seal and I was offered a replacement. It has same problems so sadly I think we were sold fakes.
is the gmarket one on the top right of ur blog authentic? because i see the price is 54.90 whereas lejel selling for 108?
ReplyDeleteLejel, Isetan, Courts are local distributor for happycall. There will be some markup to cover the advertisements space on TV. Where else the qoo10 ads which is placed by our advertiser direct import from korea, therefore the price is lower. BTW lejel has reduce the price of standard pan.
DeleteHi there, has the HCP recommended on the top right corner of this blog been checked for authenticity?
ReplyDeleteThe ads placed by our advertiser has been screened thru before placing on our blog. We do random checked after the ads are placed. If the ads is from Qoo10, you have some doubts, look thru their recent feedbacks before you purchased.
Deletehi, I used my happy call pan for the first time to bake some sweet potatoes. after cooking and cleaning, I found some marks (black residue) on the inner non-stick coating. I tried cleaning but it wouldn't come off. May I know how to clean it? does it cause damage to the coating?
ReplyDeleteHi Jess,
ReplyDeleteThere are actually a few kinds of marks that can be left on the pan.
Char marks that are hardened - This type of marks are mostly on the exterior, usually stain marks from sauces that are baked. If it happens on the exterior, it will be very difficult to clean especially after some time as the exterior ceramic coating is lesser. The pan need to be heated up (preferably not on the char spot), used toothbrush with detergent, scrubbed with some force to remove it. For interior, heated it up with some water added with detergent, or soaked the spot with water (soaked for 15 mins), you can easily clean it.
There are also charred marks in the interior that cannot be removed, as the ceramic layer is “over cocked” aka damaged. It is rare unless you left the pan unattended under high temperature for quite some time.
Unless you scrub it with reasonable heavy force and using cleaning sponges that are rough. The coating should be fine.
Hope this answered your queries.
I have read that the HCP can not be used in an induction system But can the HCP be used on an electric stove? Please advice

ReplyDeleteI JUST WANT TO HELP OUR LOVING MOTHERS :) I SAW THIS BLOG WHEN I'M LOOKING FOR FEEDBACKS ABOUT HAPPY CALL FROM ONLINE SHOPPING
BTW, IM FROM PHILIPPINES
Is it ok to use the happy call without the rubber seal? Please advise. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCan you use happy call on electric stove?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!Great thing!!Thank you for sharing with us? Does it appropriate for every kind of ovens? For example if I use cooktop surface like this http://hardware.nl/kookplaat/siemens can I buy this pan? You know that some kind of cooktop needs special cookware so can you tell if it possible for me to cook in it on induction cooktop?
ReplyDeleteThe die-cast pan has stainless-steel handle with bakelite hold and In german non-stick covering. The efficient stress heat enhance stress inside the pan, the rubber packaging stops smoke and smell, the plug and safety pin joins the higher and the lower pan and the exterior oil recipient gathers cleared oily oil from the higher pan during food preparation. The stress quit helps water loss. You can cook from both the sides of the pan.
