Madog Outdoor make some excellent quality cookware and I know you will love them.

I know the go to brand at the moment is Petromax but Madog pans are Carbon Steel and not Cast Iron. That means you get the same performance as Cast Iron but with half the weight. The equivalent Cast Iron product maybe slightly cheaper but it is around 7kg where the Madog Carbon Steel model is 2.5kg! 

Our seasoning wax has been formulated to give your seasoned cookware the most durable seasoning layer possible. It is specifically designed to withstand flaking at high temperatures. As a result, It's perfect for searing and cooking over an open flame. Rub it onto your BBQ grates, massage it into your favourite Dutch oven, or lather up your Madog Open Fire cookware. We've even included the recipe on the tin if you want to make a second batch.

Durable: The perfect balance of sunflower oil (high in omega-6) and rapeseed oil (high in omega-3) provides the ideal chemical composition for developing a durable seasoning layer on your cast iron and carbon steel cookware.

Natural: made from 100% natural ingredients.

Convenient: Our 125ml tin of Pot Rub is solid at room temperature so there's no risk of it spilling out while you're in transit to your favorite cooking spot.

Reinforced: beeswax helps to create a stronger net-like structure to your seasoning layer, which results in a better non-stick surface and increased durability.

Includes: 125ml tub of Madog Pot Rub (cloth not included)

HOW TO SEASON A CARBON STEEL PAN

Don't unwrap parts until ready to season, they are prone to rusting.

1. In a well ventilated area unwrap the parts, rinse under cold water and dry off using a towel.
2. Place the cookware in the oven. Put the oven on max temp (about 240 C) and heat for 1 hour.
3. Remove from oven and apply a thin coat of your chosen seasoning oil or wax* to every surface, nook and cranny. With a dry cloth or paper towel remove as much of the oil as possible. Ideally, do this when the cookware is hot, but if you are concerned about burning yourself let it cool first.
4. Place parts back in the oven and bake for 1 hour (it should be dry and not sticky when properly baked in).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 at least two more times.

We sell the specially formulated wax, but you can also use sunflower oil , grapeseed oil and flaxseed oil.
