But I'd reccomend freezing until it seperates n the butter forms n hardens a lil n then let it go in the fridge for like an hr n a half or two hrs,

If made in a pot of boiling water, no matter how long you boil it (as long as you keep water in the pot) it's not going to get hotter than 212°F/100°C (@ sea level). That's probably the point of the water.

Mine has a pressure gauge. I don't think I'd try making cannabutter in it. But it sure is handy for other things.

If you're putting the thermometer in it, I would think that you'd surely be measuring the true temp of it.

Some have a jiggler, some have a valve, some assume that you will wait until they will cool off naturally (the food will continue to cook somewhat) or else put them into the sink and run water over them.

Keep in mind that any steam coming out of a pressure-cooking device - being steam - is going to be capable of producing burns. It also might melt your vapor bag.

And remember that anything that could potentially clog/damage any pressure-relief devices is likely to cause you grief. There's nothing quite like having to clean food off of your ceiling, walls, floor, and everything contained within.

Of course if the regular pressure-relief devices fail - and the safety does as well - that you've just constructed a bomb that has a random detonation time.

But they are handy when it's time to harvest the veggies, during deer/rabbit/squirrel seasons, when you want to quickly cook a meal that would otherwise take hours, etc. Especially if your pressure-cooker is also a canner.

Can i use leaf/trim from harvest instead of bud?

My husband wants to use all the trim for hash but i dont have the bags and the trim is smelling up my room. And i don't want it to sit around to long..

[Ms.Fox]

Yes, I love using trim. Make sure you use way more trim than you would bud. You have to add the leaves in a little bit at a time. They will wilt just like spinach does. ;-)

I always used to do this...just grind and add...I guess thats why it never Really worked...

Ms. fox: can you tell me Why i should never do this? Im curious?

[Ms.Fox]

^ Lol, I'm not partial to the crunch. ;-) Plus I think making cannabutter or oil enables you to use your bud to it's fullest potential.

My take on it is that you can only physically stuff so much leaf material into a pan of brownies. Far better to add the extracted actives.

Then there is the whole "solubility in oil" thing.

thanks Ms.Fox and TorturedSoul...
My husband is 6'1" 250lbs, and always claims he feels nothing when he eats my edibles...grr still trying to knock him on his ass.

I have yet to try cannabutter....I thought i made cannaoil but i dont think i did it right either...

[Ms.Fox]

The main thing to do when you making it is not to hurry it. Low and slow has always given me the best results. ;-)

[Ms.Fox]

Here's some pics of a batch of cannabutter I made. Ms. Fox and FloridaBud's Cannabutter Results

[O.G.Woody]

If you use a coffee grinder and grind it into a fine powder,it really ups the effect. There is no bud waste.

[MinniBratt]

Well Ms. Fox... i did it...i made the cannabutter and it came out perfect...Thanks For everyones input and Threads

[Ms.Fox]

Oh, sweet! That's great! ;-)

[NerfNads]

This should help out alot...

iam using 1oz for some brownies....already broke up the whole 1oz...took a while tho lol....my hands were soo green

[BornSlippyNux]

Hahahaha..hahaa i made this too, only using a lil bit different method with a double boiler and butter by itself, i had some trim and ground it with a coffee grinder, then added that to the melted butter and let simmer for an hour and strained out using a slotted spoon and cheesecloth container then putting the butter back on heat putting more trim in and cooking it over like that 3 times and it produced a strong smelling butter with good taste(in brownies) and a very stony high that lasted forever.
Thanks To all who gave Info
