Looking for non-stick skillet tips and tricks (kbin.social)

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)
