Happycall Pan is on Sunday Times

Happycall Pan on Sunday Time!

HappyCall Pan (HCP) has been reviewed on Sunday Times(Sunday Times, Lifestyle, Taste,  Page 22, 19th Feb 2012)! Look like HCP the invading the kitchens of Singapore's household is unstoppable! Those who have not step into kitchen may agree as in the article, the HCP really simplified cooking, cook faster, eat healthier and mostly important clean up kitchen easier. For those who just get their new house or a modern kitchen like me, no more greasy and messy kitchen! Wonderful piece of kitchenware to own. I love  my HCP!

Heavy but pan saves gas

"An American breakfast of bacon strips, sausages and scrambled eggs takes about 10 to 15 minutes from fridge to frying pan and is a breeze to prepare."

Savvy mummy totally agreed with the statement. See some of my tried-out cooking

In the article, 'Song Cooking Pan', a lookalike Happycall pan manufactured by a local firm was mention. I happens to see that actual pan at Nex Fairprice Xtra a week plus ago. 

Promtional Price @ $59.90, usual $79.90

The pan really looking like HCP pan. It also come with the magnetic lock which was unfortunately not locking well on the demo set which was on display.

Well the Song pans have steel rings (above) added on the outer external that allows the pan to be use on induction cooker (induction cooker are common introduced for designed modern kitchen, which promise of cost saving when cooking with steel / iron based kitchenware). HCP are die cast aluminium (pressed from solid aluminium), unusable on induction cooker (eddy current). Whether it has the same conductivity of heat like HCP is unknown but it a good start, good news for those whose own an induction cooker at home. 

The other differences of Song's pan are the lower and upper inner pan have grills lines! Only HCP Ocher Jumbo have it. The grills line are suppose to give the food nice grills on food and conduct away excess oil. (Maybe certain food you may not want the excess oil to conduct away, e.g salmon's omega 3 oil :) ). I touched the surface of the pan, although the packaging stated non stick, not sure was it coated with ceramic like HCP which is PFOA Free or the coating is like normal non stick pan or some HCP clones which use PTFE (common known as telfon) based coating. The ceramic coating also determine the lifespan of the pan.

  

It is such a pity Song's pan is not up to mark in term of quality else it will be a good buy as a HCP alternative for local and maybe the world? We will be talking about how to get authentic HCP in the next blog entry. Recently we bought a fake HCP from Gmarket (We regularly bought new pans from new vendors), do look out for the new entry soon.

Ecoramic Pots Recipe ~ Green Bean Soup

This is an easy Chinese soup dessert that is cooling and sweet, which is suitable for the perpetual hot weather in Singapore. Green beans aka ‘mung beans’ are considered by Chinese as a ‘cooling’ food, and some believe it is a good natural alternative home remedy for acne. I just love boiling this because it is so low price, easy and tasty. Some love the look and texture of sago but this is optional. Tips: "Green bean soup is cooling, while red bean soup is 'heaty' food".

Chinese Green Bean Soup

Ingredients (Serves 4)

- 100g green beans (aka mung beans) – soaked overnight, rinsed and drained (w/o Ecoramic Pots) If you own one, you do not need to soaked overnight...
- 2 pandan (screw pine) leaves, dried ends cut, tied in a knot
- 2 litres water
- 50g rock sugar, to taste (your own sweetness)
- 3 small pieces (10g) of dried orange (tangerine) peel (optional)
- 80g canned or vacuum-packed lotus seeds or ginkgo nuts (optional)


Method
1. In Ecoramic pot, add green beans, 2 litres water, dried orange peel and pandan leaves. Bring to a boil.
2. Once water boiling, add green beans. Top up with hot water at any time if necessary.
3. To speed up cooking of green bean soup, place a porcelain spoon in the pot to cook together with the green beans.
4. Stir in rock sugar (to taste) until the sugar is dissolved. Discard orange peel slices and pandan leaves. 
5. Serve warmed or chilled.

Serve warmed or chilled

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.
