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.
Great for eggs and omelettes, just don’t use metal utensils on them. Also great for sticky things like grilled cheese. Definitely don’t put that in the dish washer even if it says dish washer safe.
I’m not a huge fan of ceramic coated pans as they can have issues over time with hairline cracks that cause things to stick. My preference is anodized aluminum (the dark grey colored pans).
Sorry, never saw your reply. Yeah just regular usage and fluctuations in the temp when you’re heating it up and it cooling down. They take a while to form, and the more careful you are with it, the longer it’ll take for them to form and have an impact to the performance. For example if you cook an omelette and immediately put water in there to clean it after, they’re more likely to form.
