de Buyer - Seasoning and Maintenance Wax for Steel Cookware 100 ml

A natural, French-made seasoning wax

The Seasoning and Maintenance Wax for Steel Cookware 100 ml is the essential companion for caring for your carbon steel pans. Made in France from only three natural ingredients (grape seed oil, rapeseed oil and beeswax), it offers a simple, healthy and effective way to protect your steel frying pans and sauté pans.

Free from additives and fragrances, this wax nourishes the steel surface and creates a protective barrier against oxidation. Packaged in a lightweight aluminium tin that is easy to store, it remains stable over time and does not go rancid, even several months after opening.

A natural wax for seasoning carbon steel

This wax can be used for the very first seasoning of your steel pan, as an alternative to traditional oil. Its texture allows for a thin, even application, ideal for gradually building a protective layer that enhances glide and natural resistance in carbon steel cookware.

To season your pan, simply apply a very thin layer of wax using a paper towel or clean cloth, then heat the pan so the wax polymerises and forms the first protective coating. Thanks to this natural wax, the seasoning will be durable and uniform.

As a reminder, after the first seasoning, your steel pan will naturally change colour — from grey to brown — which is completely normal. With continued use, the seasoning will improve and your cookware will gradually turn darker.

A maintenance wax to protect your steel cookware

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

Before cooking, simply rinse your pan with hot water and a soft sponge to remove any residual wax. Thanks to its stability, this seasoning and maintenance wax does not go rancid and remains effective over time, making it an ideal care product to extend the lifespan of your steel cookware.
