Care and burn-in wax – Cast iron – Valhal Outdoor

VH Wax

The Valhal Outdoor wax is made according to our own recipe in Holland and the composition of the chosen ingredients has been carefully arrived at. The Valhal Outdoor wax is perfect for taking care of your cast iron pans and accessories, but can also be used to burn-in other cast iron items.

The wax is firm, but can be easily smeared with a sponge or cloth. Because the choice was made to work exclusively with natural ingredients, the wax has a beautiful natural light yellow color and you can smell a hint of beeswax.

Use

You can apply the VH.WAX directly to your cast iron pan or accessory, but for best absorption we recommend the following steps:

1. Place your cast iron pan or accessory in the oven and preheat your oven to 175 degrees. Let your item warm up for 20 min.*
2. While the cast iron is still warm, rub all sides with the wax using a tea towel or kitchen paper.
3. Rub the cast iron again with another clean cloth for a thin and even coat of wax.
4. Put the cast iron pan or accessory back in the oven at 250 degrees for 40 min. This allows for polymerization of the coating. *
5. Depending on how smooth and/or greased you want your cast iron item, you may repeat this process two or three times.

* If you have the opportunity to perform these steps outside, such as in a barbecue, we recommend that you do this outside. This is because, particularly during step 4, a fair amount of smoke can be released.
