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:
- It ensures an even blend of the oils.
- 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.

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

Buy it and never look back
Seriously amazing product. It took my challenger bread pan from rusted to all hell, to looking brand new after two seasonings. I already bought a second tin. Do yourself favor and just buy it.

Game changer
I’ve now purchased three canisters of Chris’s seasoning compound, And I can’t believe I can actually cook in a cast-iron pan now. I’m no chef, but boy could I screw up anything in a cast-iron pan! I’m excited to expand my horizons into new pieces of cast-iron just because of Cast-Iron Chris!! I’m now also using it on my Blackstone, which is like I said a game changer! Thank you, Chris!

Great Seasoning
Struggled for years to get my cast iron pan to be non-stick. Bought the compound and talked to Chris. His expert guidance and incredible product got me where I needed to be and my pan is in excellent condition!

This stuff is awesome!!!!
I used this compound to do 3 quick stovetop seasonings on a bare carbon steel pan and the results were on par with another pan I’ve been seasoning with grapeseed oil and everyday use for months! Then I used it in a newer cast iron Smithey and phenomenal results as well. I HIGHLY recommend it and I will certainly be purchasing more!!!

Simply the best
I’ve followed Chris’ guidance and used his compound for over a year now. It’s been an absolute game changer and I enjoy cooking on my cast iron more now than ever before. Whether you’re new to cast iron or a seasoned pro follow Chris on socials, learn from him, and when you’re ready you won’t be disappointed with his products. I can’t wait to snag one of his refurbished projects soon. Also just support a good small business and buy an extra to share with a friend!!! Cheers to good cooking ?

Crazy good
I used this to break in my new yeti cast iron. I used Chris suggestion in the oven with 4-5 rounds. It seasoned it so well and bought an extra to help maintain it. Been about a month with daily use and going strong! Great product from Chris, but he does an even better job educating on cleaning and maintaining!

Seasoning and Maintenance Compound
I have been trying for months to get some cast iron pans restored and usable again, and was ready to give up, when my son showed me Chris's YouTube videos. With Chris's expertise, and his amazing compound, I have finally managed to breathe new life into the first 4 of 13 pans that have been sitting in storage for AGES! This compound is worth every penny, and Chris's videos are incredibly helpful. Chris explains everything step by step in a way that's easy to follow, even for beginners like me. Chris's passion and expertise shine through in everything he does. I highly recommend his products and videos. They're worth every penny and then some! Thank you, Cast Iron Chris!

Nothing better
I've used many different types of oils and compounds to restore cast iron pans. Chris' compound is by far the best. Thanks for a great product, Chris!

Seasoning compound and restoration
I recently restored and seasoned all of or case iron and carbon steel with Chris's compound and using his techniques. Everything has come up brilliantly including a heritage 6 gallon pioneers boiler pot that has been through a bushfire and was heavily rusted. Thoroughly recommend giving this a try.

Amazing!
If there was a 6 stars option, I’d select it! This stuff is amazing! Keeps my cast iron pans brand new and seasoned and works killer on my flat top grill surface too!
