Making & Testing Beeswax Cast Iron Seasoning Pucks

Making & Testing Beeswax Cast Iron Seasoning Pucks
Welcome Friends! Welcome back to the kitchen, if you caught our video on the Solid Tecniks wrought iron quenched frying pan where we unboxed and seasoned the wrought iron pan. You'll remember that it came with something called iron love, a mixture of beeswax and a couple of different types of oil that you use to season your cast iron pan. So today we are making a Beeswax cast iron seasoning puck and testing it to season a cast iron pan.

Ingredients:
1 part pure beeswax
3 parts high smoke point cooking oil (mixing 2 different oils is recommended)

eg:
25g beeswax
75g cooking oil

Method:
Combine the wax and oils in a small can set in barely simmering water.
Swirl the oils / wax as they melt to combine.
Pour into a silicone or paper mold to cool.
Cupcake / muffin papers work great for this.


To season a pan:
Preheat pan in an oven set to 220ºF.
Remove pan and turn up heat to 475ºF.
Melt a small amount of the beeswax puck into /onto the pan.
Using a cloth, coat the entire pan inside and out.
Move to a dry part of the cloth and wipe off all of the wax / oil.
Wipe off all of the wax / oil.
Wipe off all of the wax / oil.
Wipe off all of the wax / oil.
Place pan back in the oven, and leave at 475ºF for 2 hours.
Turn off the oven and allow pan to cool inside oven.
Repeat 3-5 times, or more.
