Whether you're restoring cast iron, seasoning your daily users, or maintaining your current collection, our Seasoning & Maintenance Compound® will have your cookware looking and performing perfectly for generations. Great for cast iron cookware, carbon steel cookware, outdoor griddles, baking steels, and more. Developed and exclusively used by Cast Iron Chris.
Our carefully selected ingredients include:
- Grapeseed Oil
- Sunflower Oil
- Beeswax
- Vitamin E
Less waste, less mess, and easier to store than traditional oils.
Our unique blend of oils are crafted specifically to create an exceptional seasoning for your cast iron. The oils we’ve chosen are rich in polyunsaturated fats, which contain multiple double bonds. These bonds are essential for polymerization, forming a stronger, more durable seasoning that enhances your cookware’s performance over time.
Our beeswax serves key purposes in our formula:
- It solidifies the mixture, limiting its exposure to oxygen compared to traditional liquid oils, which helps extend the Compound's shelf life.
- As a hydrophobic agent (repels water), beeswax helps protect your cast iron from moisture and rust, preserving its longevity.
Use after each cleaning to maintain and enhance your cast iron's natural seasoning.
