I am a complete cooking novice and I just bought a new non-stick skillet (greenpan). I’m terrified that I’m going to royally fuck it up. What are some tips and tricks to keep in mind so I don’t?

Also, are there any foods that cook particularly well in a non-stick skillet? The first thing I made in it was bacon and I was actually really pleased with the result! The burgers I made later on, not so much.

    • Don’t put it in the dishwasher
    • Do NOT put it in the dishwasher
    • No metal utensils or scrubbers
    • Don’t use higher than medium heat

    Eggs are a good candidate for nonstick pans as are pancakes/crepes. Cheese things work well here too- one of my favorites is to crust a slab of halloumi cheese with za’atar spice and fry it with roasted veggies and couscous. Such a feat would be disastrous in a regular stainless pan.

    Things not to stick in a nonstick include anything acidic (tomatoes or citrus), anything that needs charred or seared, and pan sauces (usually rely on browned bits left behind for flavor)
