Know before you buy
Yes, this seasoning oil is formulated for all cast iron and carbon steel cookware, regardless of the manufacturer. It works effectively to maintain and protect any seasoned metal surface.
A little goes a long way. Apply the oil sparingly to your cookware, then use a clean cloth or paper towel to buff it out until the surface looks dry to the touch before heating.
If applied correctly in a thin, even layer, it will not leave a sticky residue. If you notice tackiness after heating, you likely used too much product; simply wipe away the excess.
No, the beeswax is included to help create a durable, protective barrier that aids in building a natural non-stick surface. It is safe for cooking and will not alter the flavor of your food.
Absolutely. It is designed for regular use to keep your cookware protected and performing well. It is especially useful for touching up your seasoning after washing and drying your pans.
