Wax for seasoning and maintenance, for steel pans, 100 ml - de Buyer

Natural wax for seasoning and maintaining pans, produced by de Buyer, is the essential companion for caring for carbon steel cookware.

Made in France from just three natural ingredients (grapeseed oil, rapeseed oil and beeswax), it offers a simple, healthy and effective way to protect steel pans, creating a protective barrier against oxidation.

It contains no additives or fragrances. Packaged in an easy-to-store aluminium tin, it remains stable over time and does not go rancid, even several months after opening.

It can also be used for the initial seasoning of a steel pan, as an alternative to traditional oil. Its texture allows for a thin and even application, ideal for gradually building up a protective layer that improves the non-stick properties and natural resistance of carbon steel cookware.

Use

To season the pan, which should be thoroughly washed and dried beforehand, simply apply a very thin layer of wax using a paper towel or a clean cloth. Then heat the pan so that the wax polymerizes and forms the first protective layer. Thanks to this natural wax, the seasoning will be durable and even.

Please note that after the initial seasoning, the steel pan will naturally change colour - from grey to brown - which is completely normal. With continued use, the seasoning will improve, and the cookware will gradually become darker and darker.

After each use, applying a thin layer of wax to the clean, dry pan helps prevent oxidation between cooking sessions. Odourless and dry to the touch, it does not leave a sticky surface and effectively protects the steel during storage.

Before cooking, simply rinse the pan with hot water and a soft sponge to remove any wax residue.

Thanks to its stability, this wax does not go rancid and remains effective over time, making it an ideal care product for extending the lifespan of steel pans.
