Awesome, wonderful. Now if I can just get my plants to hurry up.

hey thanks for the speedy reply flameon

sorry i actually um heated 3 tablespoons of butter, to get all of the frothy milky stuff out, but i didnt strain it? and then i refridgerated that for a while, and it went like a dark yellow-brown translucent colour....

after that i used about half of that to make cannabutter... with that amount of weed...

and ive actually lost the recipe lol (i was reading it off a website somewhere ? i thought i favourited it lol.
it was like2 tablespoons of butter for 1 cup and 1 tablespoon of flour... but that was too buttery... so i added some extra flour... and it had choc chips, baking powder, salt, egg, and sugar in it...

the cooking instructions were to heat oven to 180-190C and cook for 8 mins or until brown on edges... i might have overcooked them the tiniest bit, and really i mean only the tiniest bit :P

and sorry to not clarify the texture thing, i havent tried refridgerating/freezing the butter after made, but what i meant is that its like brownish, and looks like its seperated from the weed not like mixed together? , i just put it straight into the mix ... im guessing i should be freezing it :P


I really shouldve asked questions before i tried the second time, now i have no weed lol haha... but continue to tell, i will again shortly

thanks so far flameon

Hi again ellenino

A couple of things that I hope will help for next time:
If you're making your own clarified butter, it should be a golden honey like colour when warm, a light yellow colour when solid (like regular butter). It does sound like it may have been overheated, hence the 'caramelised' colour.

With regard to the cookies, 180 - 190 degrees centigrade (375 fahrenheit) is pretty hot, once you go over the 140 degree centigrade mark (285 Fahrenheit) your losing THC to evaporation/vaporisation. It's not the end of the world as long as they are in and out pretty quickly, but in future, just cook your cookies at around (or under) 140 degrees to retain potency. You just have to give them a little longer, which at that temperature will be fine.

One last point that might help, I came across these electric grinders the other day, and thought they'd be ideal for those people without a coffee grinder.
If you notice there is a kief screen between the two chambers, which means you can just keep grinding until you have just the right amount of finely ground powdered bud. Anything like this is perfect for getting the consistency right.

Anyhow good luck on the next batch (if in doubt just stir in a can of beans, heat them up 'gently' and serve on toast). Good for 4 people!

Cheers
Flame

nice... thanks heaps for ur responses where did u find that grinder....

last question... i think this may be the reason? ive been reading all of the posts about canna-butter...

when i double-broil the butter in a bowl over water... is the water underneath supposed to be boiling or simmering? cos i had the water underneath boiling, but it wasnt making the butter boil, just very liquidic and hot.?

Hi ellenino

I saw the grinders on ebay if that helps.
The reason the double broiler is so useful is it prevents accidental vaporization of the THC in the weed, as the water prevents the temperature going over 100 degrees centigrade. So don't worry about the butter boiling, it just needs to be hot.
Cheers

wow, that guide sounds helpful.. last time, i cooked 250 mL (1 cup) canola oil with half oz (14g) of bud using a regular pot for 2 hours with low heat on. and last weekend, i made pot brownies which was required 125 mL of canna oil a 9"x"9 pan, so that would mean 7 g of bud in it. If I cut it into 12 pieces, which means about .6g per piece. Everytime i ate a piece, it really didnt get me intense high at all but longer.

So, seems that way, i did something wrong or should have cooked it a few more hours.

Now, I still have 125mL of canna oil and like .3g of the roaches . Tell me, this time I would like to try to use a Slow Cooker and want to ask if is it ok if I 're-cook' 125mL of canna oil with the roaches with a Slow Cooker?
Note : I have thrown away all finely ground bud after cooking canna oil.

Thanks

420-

yo dude. im not aware that slow cooking is necessary. just use high heat for like 5 minutes. it works for me. it works too well.

suprising to hear your brownie story. most people i know, inclusng myself, its too potent.

I have never had much luck cooking with weed, and I've tried all sorts of methods, including bogoljubs. I think one problem is I had this misconception that cooking is mostly reserved for the bottom of the barrel-type weed. The trim and skuf and stuff. As soon as next harvest comes in I'm going to try Flameons method with some damn fine AK-47 bud. I'll let you know how it works.

You know whats odd opie? I wonder how much difference there is in people....I ate some kick ass brownies that didn't touch me.....but DID kick the ass off of a friend of mine. Same batch of food etc.....

just makes you wonder.....

Yeah everyones system reacts differently to most kinds of drugs, but that is kind of weird. If they were so kick-ass, you would think that they would have at least done a little something for you. Perhaps your body is 97% THC already? I know I'm getting close to that.

So sorry flameon, last question...

so should or shouldn't the water under the bowl be boiling? boiling or simmering :P

this isjust not workin for me
i might buy a slow cooker lol

lol

Hi ellenio

The water, when boiling, won't go above 100 degrees centigrade, so you can't accidentally vape the THC content in your weed.
The key to getting the maximum extraction is keeping the temperature as close to this as you can.

Once you go over 50 degrees, the heat will have decarboxylated any inactive THC acid in your weed increasing the potency. At 75 degrees the resin heads will begin dissolving and melting into, and bonding with the fat (so at the very least you need to get to this temperature).

The advantage the 'crock pot' has is its able to cook at a constant temperature of 80 degrees on low (depending on model) and around 90 degrees on high, so you don't need to watch over it or worry if its hot enough.

Anyhow, I hope this helps, and good luck

I made some with clarified butter last night. 1tbsp to 2g of powdered mid-grade. I finished up around 10 or so, and decided to wait until today to try it out. I mixed it with 2tbsp of nutella and ate it straight from the bowl with my fingers just now. I ate the whole thing as last time I tried this I only ate half and went to a football game. I think this is the test for sure..

I'll report back in two hours or so.

...and he was never heard from again.

lol...indeed. thats what im talking about. that guy will probabally show up tomorrow, if he remembers.

ooking with weed should always work. i have never heard of it not working. people are not doing it right.

try high heat. oils suh as olive oil can sustain high heat. like i said, i made brownies with olive oil, an ounce of mexican for one 8 inch by 10 inch pan, and my dad just ate a pinch and he called the fire department to help him when he frekad out.

thats what im talking about. there should be no not feeling anything.

even when i just dip olive oil in weed, like a single gram, sometimes less, it still gets me really fucked up.

all this "gobbeldy goop" as i put it appears to be messing people up.

mix weed with oil. high heat. strain weed. put oil in food.

mix weed with oil. medium heat. eat weed with oil.

its very simple. it should never be messed up. never ever. i neve hear of anyone not getting high when eating cannibus. that tells me you people are so bogged down in needless procedure and bullshit that you dont actually even get high.

im telling you, i get high every day, and i have weed and time. with weed and time, ive actually tested stuff.

sometimes it didnt work. for example i ate weed just plain. that didnt get me high. neither did eating hash which had not seen heat. that didnt get me high.

basically what i found is cannabis mixed with oil, weather it be keif powder mixed with oil, heated and then eaten, or just weed with oil, it gets you high. there is no way to aviod feeling the high.

its unheard of for people to say that eating weed dosent actually work.

Hi Gotokeahike

Looking forward to hearing how you got on.
I'm guessing if it worked right, two hours after eating it you'll have had more cosmic things on your mind than posting a field report.

Hope it worked it well for you

Sorry for the late reply!

Oh, yes..high I was indeed, and I forgot about posting my report!! The shit was good!!! Thanks again for the insightful tutorials on this stuff, I have never done this before, and everything worked as it did on tv...lol.

I am currently experimenting with other recipes, as I am 'less than a professional' chef. Never doubt that the 'base' butter is going to be effective no matter what. Thanks again!

I can't wait to try this. I've always over did it with the amount of weed i used. And I never let it simmer for more than like 20 minutes. I was waiting for a special occasion but I think I will go ahead and try this tonight. I'm dying for some oatmeal raisin cookies.

Geeze, am I going to have to seperate you guys. (folds arms and taps foot)

when i am finished simmering the oil and bud do I strain the mixture or just keep it as is?

Hi grow

I generally use ALL the mix as the weed is impregnated with THC saturated oil.
As long as its been finely chopped/ground it's all good.

Flameon, thanks so much..we made a batch of cookies last night and i just injested the first one about 20 min ago..i'm patiently waiting..We ground up 2 grams of some very nice THC/trichrome infested haze and put in a coffee cup with a tablespoon of coconut oil and placed in a crockpot for about 2 and half hours...

Baked a practice run of chocolate chip cookies..(just some recipe we found on the internet that uses coconut oil..The first batch (no bud in them) came out to 18 cookies so we cut the ingredients in half since we only put 2 grams of bud in 1 tblspoon of oil..

The second batch (with Bud) came to 9 cookies.......8 of them we made with just the oil cause thats what the lady wanted to do...........and 1 of the cookies i put all the ground up bud in This ones a little different
