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 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.

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.

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)

Happycall Pan Reviews - Cooking Vegetables

Last weeks is really exciting! Has been actively exchanging and exploring recipes, cooking techniques on Happycall Pan in forum and meeting up some friends and clients. I can see many of them and their friends are interested to buy the Happycall Pan.

Best Ocher Happycall Deal

Best Happycall Deals

Many early converter however bought their Happycall Pan from Lejel at S$108, unaware they can get the it at lower rate at Gmarket. Since then, has been recommending them to reputable Gmarket's vendors that offer good deal for both standard Happycall pan and Ocher series. My recommendations can be found (Updated regularly) on the top right hand corner of my blog. Just received two standard pans ordered for my friend and going forward to another two for my relatives.

Standard Pan bought in Gmarket

I have also bought a set of 4 pieces Kitchen Art, Ecoramic Ceramic Pot and some interesting home improvement products. The Ecoramic Pan just delivered yesterday and i will be reviewing it soon..

During exchanging, I'm quite surprise many busy mums didn't attempt to cook vegetables with Happycall Pan. Mostly shared with me how they cooked tofu, grilled fishes, chicken and roasted meat but their adventures on vegetable is really dull. I run a check with my hubby (A vegan) how he manage to cook vegetables with Happycall Pan? He replied, to cook vegetables well, one needs to re learn the way of cooking. Presenting below is the 7 Easy Steps to Cook Vegetables with Happycall Pan, sharing it with all aspiring mums.


Cooking Vegetables with Happycall Pan in 7 Easy Steps

Step 1 - Preparation of Food & Gravity

Cleans, slices and prepares your vegetables, meats and sauces/gravy . Below is a simple tip i discovered to prepare the sauces.

a) Get an empty bottle

b) Pour the prefer condiments into it (Pepper, Oyster Sauces, Fermented Beancurbs, etc)

c) Close the lid and shake. Viola!

Step 2 - Heat up the Pan and add Oil (around 15 to 30 Seconds)
Remember, you don't need a big fire, middle setting will do. Add a little bit of oil ( I prefer olive).


Step 3 - Add Ginger and Close Lids
For the aroma, add ginger slices at this stage. Close the lid and open up once you smell the ginger.

Step 4 - Add Meat / Solid Vegetables / Mushrooms
At this stage, add slices meat (not frozen meat) / mushrooms / solid vegetable like potatoes, carrots slices. Close the lid and wait for another 30 to 45 seconds.

Nice aroma

Step 5 - Add your vegetables (leafy) 
Pen the lid, add your vegetables now. Do remember to add some warm water so that the vegetables will not be over cooked. Once the steam is out. Proceed to Step 6

Pour sauce into vegetables

Step 6 - Add Garlic / Sauces / Condiments

If you are adding chopped garlic / onions, add at this stage, wait for the 15 seconds, then add the rest of the sauces / condiments. Closed lids, remembered to flip the pan and open up to stir fried when necessary.

1 min cooking

Step 7 - Wait for the Steam and Serve

Depending on the amount of food put in, you need to wait for 30 secs to 1 minute. Once the steams is out from the back of the pan. You can switch off the control and ready to serve the vegetables.

It is very easy to cook but need to get the sequence and "fire power" right, good cutlery skills (even slicing of food) and most importantly plenty of loves.

Until then, wishes all busy mums, happy cooking with Happycall Pan, your new assistant in kitchen.

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.
