I'll never forget the time I spotted a display stand with discounted cookware at Perekrestok. I was stuck in a long line, waiting to pay, and I had some time to think about the options. My small skillet had finally given up on me, and I knew it was time to replace it.
I decided to take a closer look at the LIBERHAUS 22cm cast iron skillet with non-stick coating that caught my eye.

This skillet is perfect for cooking for one or two people or reheating something quickly. I've found it to be incredibly versatile.
I'd never tried Liber Haus cookware before, but I'd seen it at Perekrestok before. I was curious to see how it would perform.

It works great on my gas stove, and I've also used it on induction and other types of cooktops. The heat distribution is even, and it heats up quickly.
You can put it in the dishwasher, but I found that the non-stick coating is easy to clean by hand, too. Just use a soft sponge and some gentle dish soap to wipe it down.

To keep the non-stick coating in great shape, just be gentle with it. Here are a few tips:
Use silicone spatulas or spoons when cooking. Wooden ones can work, but they're a bit rough and might scratch the surface.
Wash the skillet with a soft sponge and gentle dish soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Don't eat out of the skillet with metal utensils – that's just asking for trouble.
Follow these tips, and your new skillet will stay in great condition for a long time.

Liberhaus Non-Stick Frying Pan, 22 cm
The bottom of the pan is metal and has a textured surface. It's a good idea to clean it right away, or you'll have a tough time getting rid of any stubborn stains from the grooves.

The pan may be small in diameter, but it's surprisingly deep. I thought I'd only be using it to cook omelets or reheat small portions of food, but I've found I can actually cook a decent-sized meal for three or four people, like a simple beef and potato stir-fry.

I like that the handle is fixed in place - it's a design feature that's actually a plus for me. I've had pans with removable handles in the past, and they've always ended up breaking or coming loose after a while.

The handle is also comfortable to hold, with a rubberized surface that prevents it from slipping out of your hands while you're cooking. And it's easy to clean, too - just wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use.

The pan itself is neither too heavy nor too light - it's just right for me. I've found it's easy to maneuver and comfortable to hold, even when I'm cooking for a while.
I also appreciate how compact it is - I can easily store it in the fridge with a meal, or stash it in the oven with my other cookware. The only downside is that it does take up a bit of space in the oven, but that's a minor trade-off for the convenience it offers.

I'm really impressed with the non-stick coating - nothing sticks, even without oil (although I do like to add a bit for extra flavor).

The pan heats up quickly and cools down just as fast. It's a breeze to clean, and the best part is that nothing sticks.
I'm really happy with my LIBERHAUS non-stick frying pan.
I've been eyeing a cast iron pan for a while, but I was hesitant to buy one because of the hassle of maintenance (especially since I'm not the only one cooking, and I'm not sure my husband would be up for the task of cleaning and drying it to prevent rust).

But an aluminum non-stick pan is so much easier to care for - just make sure you don't scratch the surface, and it's good to go.
