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, Blackstone griddles, wooden cutting boards, and wooden utensils. Developed and exclusively used by Cast Iron Chris.

Our carefully selected ingredients include:

  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Sunflower Oil
  • Locally Sourced Beeswax(NJ)

Less waste, less mess, and easier to store than traditional oils.

Our unique blend of beeswax, grapeseed oil, and sunflower oil is 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 three key purposes in our formula:

  1. It ensures an even blend of the oils.
  2. It solidifies the mixture, limiting its exposure to oxygen compared to traditional liquid oils, which helps extend the Compound's shelf life.
  3. 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.

(2oz)

How to use on cookware:

Maintenance: After cleaning and drying, apply a thin layer to the cooking surface with a paper towel or rag. Wipe off excess oil.

Seasoning: Apply a thin layer to all surfaces. Wipe off excess oil (this is important). Place in 450° oven for one hour. Repeat if needed.

Here's a video on how to use the Compound.

Made in the USA

*Any 'sediment' that may, though not often, appear is a natural occurance from the rendering process of the beeswax, and is completely safe and does not change the function of the Seasoning & Maintenance Compound

    My Dutch oven cast iron

    Posted by Fay on 15th Nov 2023

    I received a Dutch oven cast iron as a gift I was absolutely thrilled the pan said it was preseasoned but after only cooking in it twice it started rusting I tried everything I was heartbroken then I seen Chris talking about his products and thought I have nothing to lose I received the seasoning compound pretty quickly and used it as directed and only after the one time my Dutch oven is no longer rusty even after washing it!! I’m impressed!!!

    This is good stuff! Easy to apply, coats evenly and there is no off-putting odor, even at 450F. Will definitely use this from now on!

    Great seasoning compound! Easy to use, works great, and allowed easy education of seasoning to my son as he starts his cast iron collection! We both use this now.

    Cast Iron Chris Compound

    Posted by Holly Thomas on 22nd Dec 2022

    I waited 2 months to write my review, because I wanted to give an accurate one. After 2 months, I can honestly say, I love this product! My cast iron looks better than new! I'm sure it would've lasted MUCH longer, but I use my cast iron at least once a day, sometimes several times. And... I found that I also love this for my wooden spoons and cutting board. So I use it much more than most of you would. Now... to place my order for 2 more. (My friend wants some too!)

    Works better then any oils we've tried, doesn't take much to get a nice even layer on the cast iron and works great on wooden utensils as well!

    Fantastic new product

    Posted by Matt Thomas on 8th Nov 2022

    Received my order the other day, and just HAD to try it that night. Seriously, this stuff spreads like butter, and leaves enough to coat but not too much build-up. Can’t wait to use it for reseasoning, and will report back. Check out his videos on TikTok ! Peace, OGShrub

    Great Product!

    Posted by Robin W. on 8th Nov 2022

    I've used this everyday since I got it and it's made maintaining my pans so much easier. Very spreadable and doesn't require much to coat a pan nicely. Will definitely be buying more when I run out.

    Outstanding product

    Posted by Kenneth on 6th Nov 2022

    I used this as soon as I received it (fast shipping btw) and I was not disappointed! Only after 1 application it had a great season and color to the cast iron. I will be a repeat customer!
