Ecoramic Pot Recipe ~ Chinese Herbal Chicken Soup

I love Chinese herbal soups in rainy period which enhances a feeling of warmth and general health. Not only nourishing, and especially great when you are feeling fatigue, this soup boosts your health. Modern Mums are very difference from the women at our mother's era. Today, a modern mum needs to juggle between career and family. We are capable but not WONDER Woman! It is just too tiring after sometime if we try to be one. During our Ah-maks’ era, their methods are those conventional way like stewing and simmering the soup over slow fire on the charcoal stove and another method like steaming to make chicken herbal soup.

But nowadays, there are many different cookers, pressure cookers or *A.I timer cookers in the market. Many of us, as busy mums at work, can’t watch fire all the time or barely half a day in kitchen to do cooking. We need at least 2 hours in kitchen to whip nutritious and healthy food for our family.

So, I started out with buying prepacked right amount of Chinese herbal mixes from NTUC Fairprices or Cold Storage, I do not need to worry on overdose. The packing is nicely packed and hygiene too. Some packing has its own mentioned functional of herbs and purposes. Choose the one you prefer to boil for your family.

Prepacked Chinese Herbal Mixes
Right Amount Of Chinese Herbal Mixes
Ingredients (serves 3)
- 1/2 chicken, skin removed and cut to small pieces
- packet of herbal chicken mixes
- 1.5 litres water
- salt, to taste (you may use light soy sauce, optional)

Directions (Using Ecoramic Pot only, approx. 30mins boiling)
1. Blanch chicken in boiling water for a 1 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water & set aside.
2. Place blanched chicken and the rest of the ingredients in water. After coming to a boil, simmer for at 20 mins, and longer if you can.
3. Season to taste with salt. Serve with steamed white rice.

Pointers To Share
1. You may use double boil, slow cook, or use a thermal pot. 
2. If you are using electrical cookers, use timer socket to assist your boiling. Save time and electricity.

Kitchen Art Ecoramic Ceramic Pot Series - The First Look




Yippee! The 4 Pieces Kitchen Art Ecoramic Ceramic Pot Series have finally arrived, I am now the proud owner of this exciting modern kitchenware. Ever since when I done my research on Happycall double sided Pan, I have been eyeing on this Ecoramic Pot and Pan set from Kitchen Art. My first blog on Ecoramic is here for those who do have no idea of what is it.


My hubby placed an order Gmarket from the vendor iKorea on 26 Sept and it should have arrived on 30 Sept. But there was nobody home. I have wait eagerly for Singpost to redeliver the parcel on Tuesday. My whole weekend is fill with excitement thinking of Ecoramic Pan.

The parcel is about 6.5Kg, send via EMS
The condition of the arrival parcel is quite great. The parcel show that the item was posted out from Korea on 29 Sept via EMS. EMS service is really fast. 2 working days only. 

The Ecoramic Pot and Pans are all bubble warpped
Let take a look inside the parcel. The Ecoramic pots and pans are nicely pack in the insulation package and also bubble wrapped to as a second layer of protection. 

The handle for the Ecoramic Pot Covers fresh out of box
Notice that the handles of the cover is not attached on the pot / pans cover. The handle is provided in this sale which is better than the knob advertise on Lejel. It allows it to pot cover to stands, also holding away from the steam gushing out. It is good ergonomic feature.

The Lejel TV offers the knob above

The Pot Handle and Cover, Stand nicely on the tap
I must confess that it took me a while to figure out how to assemble the handle on to the cover. The instruction in Korean is not very helpful. Once i figure it out, I ask my husband to assemble for me. Haha! Thank you Hubby! And below are the steps.

1. Handle 2. Vending Ring 3. Washer and 4. Screws
The Vending Ring show face away from the Handle
This assembly here is wrong, the vending ring (red box) is facing the handle, will scald you when the steam come out of it
Cross section view of wrongly assembly handle, note the vending hole (in red box) is facing the handle
Step 1. Place the vendor ring onto the handle and place the set on the surface of cover as shown
Step 2. Place the washer and the screw in place
Step 3. Use the Philips Screw Drive (+ sign) to secure and tighten the screw onto the handle
Here are the whole set been assembled, stacked nicely on top of each other and ready to cook!

Nicely Stacked
We decided to take a easy try, to fry the sunshine egg. The ceramic coating is really good. The egg really does not stick to the pan. If i could add a little bit of oil, the sunshine eye will be easy slide off the pot.


Ecoramic Rear View After Cooking, Sparking Clean!
The Ecoramic Pan is so light, easy to clean and so easy to clean. No messy stain and the pot is still smooth and shining after use, No need to scrub off the carbon like normal glass or stainless steel pot. It is so easy to maintain!

Final Thoughts

This is really a good series of kitchenware to own. Not really expensive and is easy to maintain. The four piece Ecoramic Pots and Pan are bought for S$148 exclude the steamer (Steamer can be bought from this vendor  S$39) and silicon pot handler sold by Lejel for S$248. If they could include an English operating manual, it will be fantastic! Will be trying out cooking with food soon. (PS. I have clean up my 20cm stainless steel pan for sale)

Modern Kitchenware - Kitchen Art Ecoramic

Modern Mums are very difference from the woman at our mother's era. Today, a modern mum needs to juggle between career and family. We are very capable but not wonder woman! It is just too tiring after sometime if we try to be one. 

In today blog, i am reviewing a modern kitchenware that will aid a modern busy mum. I believe many busy mums will have encountered this before, we overcooked the food and end up having to scrub all evening to clear away the carbon waste. If the damage is fatal, even our expensive tefal will end up in the waste bins. 


I came across the Kitchenart's Ecoramic Ceramic Pots & Pans when i was doing my research on HappyCall pressure pan. The Ecoramic Pot & Pans series is just an eye opener for me. (If i have known it earlier, my housewarming gifts will be those). The Youtube video above is not the highest quality available. I manage to find a clearer one (below) but it is in silent mode, but should be clear enough to understand how it works.


Among the benefits as we have seen in the video, it is natural ceramic coated which means it is safe and health. It cooks fast because of good thermal heat transfer. The Ecoramic series is also easy to clean and wash and we don't to worry about scrubbing the carbon waste now, it is just as easy as a wipe just like the Happycall pan.


The well design lids for pouring broth and the unique handles prevent overflowing which means we don't to clean the stove for spills overs. This translates to saving of time and money. 


The TV commercial company, Lejel in Singapore, is selling a set of four plus the extra bonus steamer for S$248. In time of uncertainly, if we can save a little of money more for hard time ahead, why not? 


I search in Gmarket for the same offer. Although there aren't many vendors selling, but most of them are selling around 30% cheaper. (Last check Ecoramic is S$140 for set of four pots and pans, if add the extra steamer cost around S$25, the total is S$165) The Gmarket's vendors also provide new generation that include a stand-able lid which stands and will not be scathed by the steam around the handle. This feature is not sold in Lejel's offer.

The drawback for this Ecoramic Ceramic Pot Series like many modern kitchenware that is make up of die cast aluminium, is not suitable for induction cooker as they are not ferrous. (Induction cooker requires the kitchenware to contain ferrous material like stainless steel and steel to work. You can easily test it with a magnet, if the magnet does not stick or attach to the base of the testing pot or pan, the kitchenware is not suitable for induction cooker.) They are rare cases that certain induction cooker works with aluminium kitchenware but they usually take a longer time to cook. Those using only induction cooker will have to give this wonderful product a miss.   


Accompany with many benefits, the Ecoramic Cermaic Pans and Pots are worth to try, as it cost as low as S$49 per pot. It is very affordable and cost lesser than some other kitchenware. Here is the link for the list of vendors in Gmarket

We wishes that we have introduce all busy mum a good helper and see you in the next blog.
