Ingredients Used to Make Cannabis Cooking Oil

1 cup of ground cannabis flower (or less for milder potency)
1 cup of cooking oil of your choice
Note: Coconut and olive oil are the most common choices; coconut oil has a milder taste and can therefore be used for more dishes, whereas olive oil is the staple cooking oil for most kitchens.

Hardware Needed To Make Cannabis Oil:

– Strainer or cheesecloth
– Grinder (a simple hand grinder works best; appliances like blenders and coffee grinder pulverize the cannabis, resulting in edibles with bad tasting plant material)
– Double-boiler, slow cooker, saucepan, etc.

Directions:

1. Grind the cannabis. You can include the entire plant, just the flower, a little bit of both — this is all a matter of preference. Just keep in mind that anything small enough to fit through the strainer will end up in your finished product, so again, do not grind your cannabis to a fine powder.

2. Combine oil and cannabis in your double-boiler or slow cooker, and heat the two together on low or warm for a few hours. This allows for decarboxylation (activation of THC) without scorching (which destroys the active ingredients).

3. Cooking can be done a variety of ways: in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally; in a double-boiler on low for at least 6 hours (8 is better), stirring occasionally; or in a simple saucepan on low for at least three hours, stirring frequently (a saucepan is most susceptible to scorching). In all cases, a small amount of water can be added to the mixture to help avoid burning.
Note: whatever method you choose, temperature of the oil should not exceed 245°F.

4. Strain and store the oil. Do not squeeze the cheesecloth; this will simply add more chlorophyll to your oil. All remaining plant material can be discarded or used in other dishes if you have the wherewithal. The oil’s shelf life is at least two months, and can be extended with refrigeration.
Note: Be cautious when using the oil to prepare dishes that require heating. Do not microwave and choose low heat whenever possible.

  1. In the grand scheme of things you actually receive a B+ just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced everybody was in all the specifics. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And that could not be more true right here. Having said that, permit me tell you just what did give good results. The authoring is definitely extremely engaging which is most likely why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can certainly see the leaps in reason you make, I am not confident of just how you seem to connect your ideas which produce the final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but hope in the near future you connect your dots much better.

  2. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
