Shoulda decarbed in butter first

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 18 hours ago

You don't need to decarb in anything, just heat the bud up and you can eat it. The butter is for extraction.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Heating up is for decarboxylization.

I said the goal, they replied with the technique.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

They replied pointing out that the butter is unnecessary, the heat is the part that's needed for decarboxylation

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 13 hours ago

But OP wants to cook it into eggs, and that needs butter anyway.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

Yeah exactly. Sometimes I decarb buds and just throw it in pill capsules, no extraction necessary.

Cannabutter is the right answer here

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That would solve the problem about not getting high, but cannabutter still tastes pretty bad. That's why it's usually hidden in baked goods with stronger flavors like chocolate.

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 15 hours ago

Not really, if you do it properly there is almost 0 taste difference.

After infusing the butter and filtering it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter you have to put it in a pot of boiling water, use at least 5 times more water than cannabutter. Stir it thoroughly for a few minutes, then let it first cool down to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Since THC is only soluble in fat but not water it will stay inside the butter, but much of the plant material like chlorophyll is water soluble and will get dissolved in the water during this process. In the fridge the butter will solidify on top of the water and you can remove it from the water to have your clarified butter that tastes almost like regular butter

Canna-ghee. Glee, if you will.

[-] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I used to put it on toast and sandwiches so,,, to each their own I guess

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Steak is also excellent at hiding the flavour.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 7 points 21 hours ago

Do you use the butter in the pan to cook the meat? I would think that either wastes the product or the steak.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago

Nar melt some and poor it over the steak. It absorbs it as it rests.

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago

It's usually used when searing the steak. You add it near the end of the cooking as to not burn the butter. You use it to baste the steak (shovel the melted butter/oil over it to cook it more evenly on both sides).

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 21 hours ago

Mine is delicious, but it's the only one I've ever tasted. Maybe I'm weird, maybe I'm some kind of culinary prodigy.

I could share the recipe I used...

Decarbed with the water bath method: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/decarb

Then used this recipe: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/2015/6/13/sous-vide-cannabis-butter

I used 10g girl scout cookies for 500g butter

I thought it would be too weak but throwing 10g of the cannabutter into my risotto made me fly to Venus for about eight hours and I'm not sure what exactly happened in that time. I visited friends apparently, but I only know because they told me. Hallucinations of sheep everywhere!
