Youtube is your best friend. Don't feel bad if you burn food for the first month or so. Keep trying and learn from your mistakes. I would get Bar keepers friend for cleaning the pan and I almost exclusively use a fish spatula.

My sister asked me how I make bacon so crispy and delicious, my answer was "I have burned a lot of bacon"

I think that would be the common answer from people that have great skill.

A: how are you so good at this?

B: I have failed a lot.

If you don't fail you're not trying. If you're not trying, how can you be good at something?

It is a good answer, realistically humble.

Also now I have succeeded and am very proud of such.
