Happy Call Double Sided Pressure Pan - 韩国双面锅
Recently there is a Happy Call Pan(韩国双面锅) craze across most of the forum, facebook and recipes websites such as Munch Ministry where individual and members gets together to share their experience and recipes on using this "in-pan".
Basically Happy Call Pan works with a logic of a pressure cookers, patented silicon gasket and on-touch button magnetic locking systems which ensures cooking is hassle free, faster and healthier. With the "Normal Pan(red )" having 3 layers and new "Ocher Deeper Pan(brown)" having 5 layers of ceramic durable non-stick coating, it actually speed up the cooking process and produce healthier dishes with enhanced flavour too.
The photo above shows the New Happy Call Ocher Deeper Pan (measured 27.5cm x 24.5cm x 7.5cm) and it is handy for cooking fish, chicken, meat, stew, soup and etc. Below are some basic functions of Happy Call pan's numbered above:-
1. SILICON GASKET
These red patented silicon gasket can effectively seals pan to prevent greasy liquid or smoke from escaping during cooking. And it also acts to prevent leakages during flipping of the pan while cooking.
Note: Over the time, this silicon gasket might expand a little so you can just trim it off the excess and push back firmly onto the groove, but ensure it does not black the "steam vent".
2. STEAM VENT
This allow excess steam to escape, maintain optimal pressure and cooking conditions inside the pan and allow the meat to be evenly cooked.
3. OIL RECEIVER
It collects excess water or oil condensation which flow from "the upper pan" when the pan is opened.
4. GROOVED RIM
A grooved structure helps the pressure function of the pan by fitting the silicon gasket into the groove which seals and lock the pan.
5. STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE HOLDER
It connects the handles to the pan.
Each part of the handle comes with a magnetic button attached at the ends of the handle(refer to the photo above). With just "one-touch" the magnets it will lock both halves of the pan together tightly and sealed it before before any cooking or flipping.
To Lock - Push the two ends of the handles near and the magnetic buttons will snap closed with a distinct "click".
To Unlock - Simple insert you finger between the two ends of the handle and pry them apart and always open with both hands.
During cooking when the pan is sealed it cause the greasy oil and steam residues to collect on the inner part of the Upper Pan. So when the pan is opened all these residues will drip down onto the "tray" for easy and mess-free disposal.
Whereas the "steam vent" also acts as the drainage access for the oil and steam condensed and collected on the Upper Pan.
TO CLEAN AND MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain the pan in good conditions, once in a while, take out the silicon gasket and clean with a soft toothbrush in order to remove food residues. Or every 4 - 6 month, rub vinegar or lemon juice on the inner non-stick surface and warm it over low heat for a few minutes, rinse and wipe clean with a damp cloth. And remember NEVER use metal spatulas or cooking utensils that may damage the non-stick surface of the pan.
Although there are quite a number of readers and friends asking me whether is it worth getting this Happy Call pan but for my view it always up to individual and their needs. Although this pan can do certain wonders but it also have negative area such as you won't be able to do stir-fry and get those "wok" smell like most of our wok do.
But in another way it does help to prepare some quick and easy healthy dishes such as pan-fry/grill fish and meat which reduce smokes and smells in the kitchen.

may i know where you bought it? How much is it?
ReplyDeletehi ellena,
ReplyDeletethank for sharing! this pan seems like very interesting! where can i buy it? online? how much?
chris
I can't wait to see more of your happy call. Hope you can post up more.
ReplyDeleteI've seen bloggers cook with this pan and curios about it. I've yet to see them sell in here in the US. May I know how much it cost?
ReplyDeleteAgnes: I got my normal pan from my mum but you can get it from http://www.gmarket.com.sg/ too.
ReplyDeleteChris: Thanks :) You can refer to the link on Gmarket above.
ICook4Fun: There are basically 4 types of pan each different size and purpose. If get from online is cheaper ranging from 60+ - 70+. If you are interested you can take a look at the Gmarket link above :)
But ladies, although this HCP can do quite a number of things but it does not do a great job for stir-frying dishes like :p
Looks so easy... even for someone as erm culinarily-challenged as I! :P
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get from gmarket but doubt their authenticity. U think I should?
ReplyDeleteJamie
Hi Jamie,
DeleteEmmmm a few sellers are quite reliable as so far those HCP members in the forum get the pan from them without complain. U can use paypal if you have concern.
I want to get 2 HCP but dun know to get from lejal or gmarket ?
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Hi Joyce, Gmarket is definitely cheaper than lejal and they carry quite similar products.
Deleteellena,
ReplyDeletedo u think the seller with the most review can buy from?? beside i'm from malaysia..
Hi Jane,
DeleteAs far as i know there are a few popular seller in Gmarket such as Mike, Smart Green and B J i think. All have good feedback from HCP facebook grp.
Hi Ellena, can this pan be used on an induction cooker?
ReplyDeleteFrom Susan Lee
Hi Susan I am afraid HCP cannot be used in induction cookers but i heard some of the HCP chefs said can be used in electrical stove.
DeleteWhat is the difference between induction cooker and electrical stove?
DeleteHi Ellena, how many type of Happy Call Pan you have? Can advise use what type of Pan to cook type of dish. Thanks very much and look forward for your advises. Best Regards,
ReplyDeleteHi I have both the Basic(red colour) and Deep Ouch Pan(brown colour). If you are using it for multi-purpose cooking like steaming, stew, bake and etc. Advice you can get a Deep Ouch Pan which is the medium size type. :) HTH
DeleteHi Ellena, thanks for posting this, especially helpful for people that are interested! Btw, I was wondering do you actually need to flip the pan when you did all the above dishes? Heard it's quite heavy....is it very hard to flip especially when it's filled full with ingredients? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Honey Bee Sweets, thanks for your kind words. It depend on the type of dish/bake u are doing. Not all need to flip the pan. For eg, you don't need to flip the pan while cooking hot plate tofu/claypot rice. But as for baking cake, you need to flip in order to even the cooking and colour. And when flipping you have to be fast and steady in order not to spilled or affect the texture of the cake :)
DeleteI see. Well just want to let you know, after reading your recipes and all other reviews, I went ahead and ordered a double pressure HCP, heehee. Your posts did sell the product well, lol! Btw, I've yet seen fried fish posts from you using HCP, is it that this Double pressure pan is not suitable for it? thanks again for your info, it's very helpful!
DeleteWow! You also place an order for HCP :) so which pan you get? Basic, Ouch or Jumbo? Oh... I seldom fried fish cos i hate the after smell which "perfumed" the kitchen and dinning area, so we always opt for steamed fish instead. HCP indeed is good for cooking fish and with the correct technique applied the fish is crispy on the skin, soft and juice inwards :)
DeleteHi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteCan a deep Ouch Pan grill fish crispy? Why my fish is not crispy because I used the wrong pan, I should buy a shallow pan instead or my cooking technique is wrong. Please advise. Thanks.
Regards
Lily
Hi Lily,
DeleteAny HCP can grill fish. May i know what fish you grilled? In order to have a crisp skin you have to pat dry the fish(best is in room temperature), lightly coated it with some corn flour but optional. You can add 1teaspoon of oil to the pan, put the fish. close the pan(don't lock). fry on medium low heat for 4 - 5 minutes before flipping the pan.
Hi Ellena, after you recommended HCP on your blog, I am tempted to buy it too. I read that the Silicon gasket needs to be replaced over time. Is it true? How often should it be replaced? I'm not sure if I should get the regular pan or the Ocher deep pan. Would it be too heavy? Do u know how long it takes before the order arrives? Thanks. Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, Yes indeed the silicon gasket need to be replaced every 6 mths of you can remove it and use a toothbrush to clean the it if you are heavy user. To replace just remove the old rubber and replace it with a new 1.
DeleteIf you have about 4 - 5 members at home and you wish to grilled chicken, make stewed and etc. Ocher is recommended. If order from MIKE it takes about 3 days to a week.
Hi Ellena, can the Ouch Deeper Pan used to fry the fish and chicken like it was shown on tv? I don't feel like buying two pans if I can just use 1. Btw, the Happy Call Ceramic Pots looks good too. Have you tried it?
ReplyDeleteHi there, both the basic and ocher pan can use to grill fish and chicken. but if you want to cook for a family of 4 - 5 with whole chicken perhaps a ocher pan will be better.
DeleteAs for the Ceramic pot i have not order mine yet. Still thinking lolz.
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteCan I just cook without the gasket and instead of closing and flipping the pan, I just leave it open and use it like any other pan and manually turn the food once a while? Cos abit troublesome to keep replacing the silicon gasket.
Cos I was thinking of getting either a regular non stick pan plus a wok or just the deeper Ocher pan as my all in one cooking pan. I don't really deep fry food nor do I require "wok hei" for my stir fry.
Also, is the HC pan good for shallow fry/ pan fry?
Hi there,
DeleteIf you removed the gasket the pan won't be tightly closed and the pressure is not there to cook the food too. And also the gasket would only need to be replaced every 6 mths or so. So no worries, you can get extra and keep.
If you want all in 1 perhaps a ocher pan(brown) will be good enough for u to stir-fry, pan-fry, bake and stew. HTH :)
too bad my cooker is induction / electromagnetic cooker, i'm wondering why this double sided flip pan not using stainless steel material, so that it is suitable for all kind of cooker. :(
ReplyDeletehi, can i check with you if your ocher deep pan, below the made in korea, orignal, is there something like a serial code
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine,
DeleteYou mean at the handle? or?
Hi ,
ReplyDeleteMay I ask you which pan are you using for making cake the brown or the red one?
Thank & Warm regards,
ling
Hi Ling,
DeleteBoth the Red and Brown pan can use to make the cake. But if you are making the x1.5 or double portion perhaps the deep pan(brown) will be better :) HTH
Hi may I know where can I buy the extra gasket n how much it cost?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Karen
Hi Karen,
DeleteI am not sure where you can get the extra gasket in Singapore. But usually when you purchase the pan online at Gmarket. You can op to buy extra gasket. So perhaps you can check the Gmarket seller on that :) HTH
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeletewhat is the different between red deeper pan and ocher deeper pan? i've check the gmarket website, both the size are same, price also same, only the color different....am i right? and i don't understand they talk about what 3 layer or 5 layer, please advise. Thanks!
Cath
Hi Cath,
DeleteYup there is no different b/w the red deeper pan and cher deeper pan. Both the same size only different in colour :) Oh the old version of hcp is 3 layers coating but the latest deeper and jumbo pan all 5 layers coating HTH :)
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of getting HCP also. Do your recipes use the orcher one (brown) or the basic one (red)? I plan to get only 1 and I wish to have one that can do most of the stuff. My family is a small family (2 adults and 1 kid, and 1 more baby coming along the way). If I get the orcher, can i still cook a small amount of dishes or it always has to be a big portion?
Btw, I've been reading ur blogs often esp. to find recipes. Good blog and keep it up! :)
Winnie
Hi Winnie,
DeleteThanks for your kind words. Most of my recipes can be use in both pan whereas the ocher pan will have more rooms for the food to move around :p But then if you are using it for baking, you would have to x1.5 for the recipe or else the height of the cake will be slightly low.
Yup, you can still work on small amt of recipe using the ocher pan.
Hi, can this pan be used on halogen cooker/hob?
ReplyDeleteHi there,
DeleteHappy Call Pan can be used on the halogen cooker but not on induction cooker.
Hi, how do u clean the pan after every meal. with normal dishwashing liquid?
ReplyDeleteYup, just wash with sponge(smooth side)with a bit of soup. wipe dry and air dry.
DeleteHi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteplease advise which type of utensils do you use for stirring/frying the food? how do you scoop the food out from the pan?
Thanks,
Clarice
Hi Clarice,
DeleteI just use a cooking chopstick(which i bought from daiso) for stir-fry/frying food. To scoop out the food or gravy i would like a spatula or wooden spoon. HTH
Thinking of getting deep orche pan, just wondering whether can be used to cook on electric stove?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Yen
Hi Yen,
DeleteI am not sure on electric stove as some said yes, some said no. Perhaps you can check with the seller or refer to your stove menu. HTH :)
Hi, i just bought a hapoycall oan but used once and the silicon gasket melted. Am i using it incorrectly? Any ideas why?
ReplyDeleteGosh! The Silicon Gasket melted? Emmm it might be due to high heat. Did you cook using high or low heat. For hcp you cannot use too high heat with big flame or else the gasket will melt.
DeleteHi, Ellena. Rec'd my happy call pan yesterday & decided to try your chicken rice recipe. Thank you, it was a success. However, I think the chicken would taste better if it was marinated for longer hours.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Vera
Hi Vera,
DeleteThanks for your feedback. Yup if you have time, you can marinate the chicken for a longer time or perhaps overnight or else the above recipe will do a quick trick for meal :)
Hi Dear,
ReplyDeletewhen I order the pan, it asked me for sealer..1 or 2 or 3 or 4,,,,do you know what is means for sealer here?
Hi there sorry for my late reply hope i am in time. The sealer 1, 2 or 3 means getting extra sealer on top of the additional 1 which is included together upon purchase. HTH :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love your Happycall recipes and I have a little request to ask from you --
Can I link your website to my website?
Thanks!
Hi myhappycall,
DeleteThanks for your note and mentioned, i have saw your links :)
Hi, I like your recipes soooooooooo much, all looks very yummy ^^
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Shyvonne
Hi Shyovnne,
DeleteThanks for your kind words. Hope you will share with us how you find the recipe if you try them out :)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you know what's the best way to clean the HCP?
My pan has lots of black grease stain on the outside of the pan. (I think it's cos my maid doesn't wash immediately after use, she cooks with it for lunch and dinner, wipes it with kitchen towel, then uses it to cook again thereafter. She only washes it a few hours after dinner cos instruction manual said Do Not Wash When Hot or the inner layer will deteriorate) we've tried Jif, dish washing detergent, the white "magic stain removal sponge etc but doesn't help...
Pls help! Thanks!
Hi Yan,
DeleteThe wear and tear outside the pan is hard to remove if it is not done immediately or so. And it also depend on the heat and type of stove that you are using. I am not sure hw to remove the stain as well. But i just make sure i wash the pan within an hr after meal when it is cool off. Sometime i will clean inner pan with water plus lemon juice / vinegar simmering over low heat, cover and stand for a few mins b4 washing. HTH
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping to get one HCP for our parents, but not sure what is the difference between the 5cm and deeper 7.5cm variation?
Understand that the deeper one could cook bigger items or portions, but if only need to cook small portions, does it still work perfectly well like the 5cm? I mean, will the food start swimming around during flipping and not get cooked well evenly if cooking smaller portions with a deep pan? Hope to hear your advice!
Thanks!!
Laysee
Hi Laysee,
DeleteMost of the readers or HCP users in Singapore bought the 7.5cm(deeper pan) which can cook for 4 - 5 pax depending on what is being cooked. But if what your parent intend to use if just for 2 - 3 pax then a normal (5cm) pan will do.
Actually this pan works well for more or light portion in the pan so it doesn't matter :)
HTH
hi,
ReplyDeletei got an question that i used to do a lot of cooking for my family on pressure cookers, so is this product can do the same kind of cooking as an pressure cooker does like pressure cooking the food in few minutes
Also, another question that as you have mentioned in a reply of yours on dated: 18/6/12 5:25 PM that the Silicon Gasket melted will melt on too high heat with big flame could be more precise about this try to explain it
Pls reply!
Regards,
Ginna
Hi Ginna,
DeleteThis HCP works similar to a pressure cookers, but it can also use to deep-fry, shallow fry, bake, grill and etc. So it is more useful than a pressure cooker if you know how to use it correctly.
As for the silicon gasket surrounding the pan cover, i heard from other users that theirs tends to melt when they use it on high heat. As this pan don't required high heat to cook food, the most is low or medium low. HTH :)
My HC pan has oil stains on the exterior. Can I use Magic Clean Kitchen Cleaner to remove the oil stain? Mama Lemon could not do the job.
ReplyDeleteHi Cutie Mum,
DeleteErrrr I am not quiet sure about using Magic Clean on HCP before but I know it is important that you clean it immediately after each cook to prevent the stains :)
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteCan happycall pan be used on hotplate?
I just bought the ocher pan and a hotplate in order to use it
since i was using induction cooker.
But i find the pan base (part in contact with the hotplate) a little sticky after cooking. Not sure if its safe to use.
Do users of the happycall pan on gas stove have the same experience?
Hi Serene,
DeleteYes, HCP can be heated up on hotplate but i am not sure of the heat control as you can see the flame. As i am using gas stove, i did not see any sticky parts after using the pan.
Hello Ellena,
ReplyDeleteWld appreciate your recommendations. I am contemplating between Ocher Deeper and Ocher Jumbo Grill. What is the difference between them except for the grill lines?
Hi Rowena,
DeleteThe different of Ocher Deeper and Jumbo is only on the size. Not much different, it all depend on what you are using it for. For a family of 4 - 5. I think Ocher Deeper is good enough :)
Dear Ellena,
ReplyDeleteCould kindly explain the difference between Ocher Deeper and Ocher Jumbo Grill except for the grill lines?
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteI tried using the Happycall pan yesterday to cook salmon, to my surprise it is cooked within 5 mins! so impressive.. but i got one issue on e pan i wonder if you encounter too.
i tried washing the pan few times but there's still a smell of the fish.. is there anyway i can get rid of the smell?
am so going to try the recipes you posted.. :D
Hi, to remove the "fishy" smell of the fish. You can simmer 1 cup of water plus 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in the HCP (Lock) for 3 mins. Off the heat and let steamed for another 5 mins or so, rinse and wipe dry :)
DeleteHTH
hi u did an awesome cooking~~~ i hav been checking HCP!! but i really duno wer can i get it! after reading ur blog it really attracted me!! can u send me a link wer to buy n wat pan u suggest!! my family member 2 adult n 2 kid but i often will do some baking n grilling!! pls suggest tq!
ReplyDeleteHi, just got my happy call one month ago.
ReplyDeleteHad used it to cook pop corn, fried eggs, egg omelette and today had use it to fried fish.
Will try to cook chicken rice.
Regards
Ms seah
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteYour blogs on HCP are simply helpful. I hv tried my HCP for salmon teriyaki, durian pancakes. Would attempt your pandan chiffon recipe soon as I love baking, in a different way now.
I tried frying chicken (about 8) during Hari Raya recently. The oil spilled from the tray and dirtied my stove. I did not flip the pan but manually turn the chicken until crips. Is my technique right? I did tried frying 'ikan selar kuning' but when i flipped it, the fishes were all over the pan and i got to manually placed it nicely as it does not stick
ReplyDeleteHi Ruslina, perhaps you added too much oil in the pan? usually i don't recommend deep-fried or shallow-fried using hcp as the oil will spilled :(
DeleteYes, if there are empty spaces in the pan when you flipped it the fishes will go all over the pan become it won't stick it there.
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteHow is happycall compare to easy cooker (without the silicon gasket)? Not sure which one to buy.
Regards,
kk
Hi KK, with the silicon gasket, the cook is cook using pressure and it will be cook in a faster way. Also it prevent leaking of the content too. HTH
DeleteHi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteIs the bottom( reverse side) of your HCP darker than the top? My HCP is darker on the bottom not sure whether it is fake until I chanced upon the online posts. My previous maid also seem to have damaged the inner coating, see black marks now n plenty of scratches. Do you think it is still safe for cooking?
Thanks,
Wendy
Hi Wendy,
DeleteBoth side of my HCP is of same colour. But if yours is with plenty of scratches and coating faded i think you better change another one just in case. HTH
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteJust read ur blog on this happy call pan. I wonder how do diff it real & fake? There are so popular in market now & I read some review many of them bought from groupon coz of the cheaper price & promotion. But end up they say is fake try to claim it fr groupon but fail as reply need feedback fr dealer. Can you please adv how do we diff it real & fake? I'm from Malaysia here. There are selling in jusco now too.
Hi Hueyli,
DeleteYes, you are right. There are a lot of HCP available in the market now. And it safer that you purchase from department stores or via online shop directly from Korea. Usually the original pan comes with the original packaging from Korea with menu book. The pan is slightly heavy with flat surface unless (jumbo pan). Or the best thing is take a look at those sold in department store (origin from Korea) and compare with those cheaper in price.
Hi Ellena,
ReplyDeleteI m using the pan for the 1st time, do i need to preheat
the pan with oil for start? Like some pots we need to boil
water before our first use.
Thanks,
Treza
Hi Baby Ele,
DeleteYes, you need to wash the pan with warm soppy water, rinse and clean dry. Coat a layer of oil on the upper and lower pan. then cook over lowest heat, 3 minutes on each side. HTH :)
Hi Ellena:
ReplyDeleteI was looking through the posts, and I don't think I saw a reply to the person with an induction stove. I have the same problem (induction stove). Do you know if the company or perhaps another company makes a steel HCP type pan suitable for induction stove-top cooking?
S C Lim
Hi SC, Emmm i am not quite sure about this. My mum who has a induction stove just bought a normal gas stove to use her HCP instead. But I did heard from the salesperson in the departmental store that you could actually add a metal placement or so on your induction stove to transfer the heat to the hcp, but i am not sure about it. Perhaps you could check with the HCP promoter instead.
DeleteHI
ReplyDeletei have just bought the hCP but it smell like plastic when i cook my foods , and the rubber arround the pan (in red colour ) look cheap n i m not confident with this product !! any advice for me
Hi Hyun Jung,
DeleteDid you washed and season your pan before using? The plastic smell might be due to the heat. HCP used medium to low heat instead.
the silicone seals of my happy call kept dropping out? my HPC is fake one?
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe,
DeleteEmmm the problem of the dropping seals might be due to the expansion of the heat. Did you use it on High heat?
Hi Ellena
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and depended on some of your other recipes whilst in California cooking for my daughter and family. I respect you and all food bloggers for their selfless sharing. Thank you.
Now back in Singapore, I just bought three HCP Ocher Deep and Jumbo at a good price from a shop "Everything Korean at #02-03 International Plaza selling authentic koreans stuffs. The name speaks for itself. Maybe this info might be of some help.
Maggie
Hi Ellena,this is miss Yong asking if it can use in electric stove..thank u
ReplyDeletecan i bake brownies or choco moist cake using HCP?do you have a recive of it?
ReplyDeleteHi, do you know if the pan is dishwasher safe ?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMy happy call magnet suddenly came off and my maid accidentally put it back in other direction so instead of attracting each other now become refusing each other. Anyone know how to remove the magnet? I tried to heat the handle little bit and put other magnet but it's not strong enough to pull the wrong magnet out. How? Please help.....
FY
Is it safe to open the hpc while boiling or cooking? I believe its almost same as pressure cooker . It might cause accident f open while cooking. Thanks for answering questions as much as u can :)
ReplyDelete
