Not to contradict, but I cook atleast one batch every day so if I may, that just doesn't cut it. A double boiler means water in the main boiler, which means that the hottest you can get the inner container is about 210º, cos 220º is boiling. If you're gonna cook it at that temperature that will work, but only if you do it over a prolonged period, ie; over four hours and under twenty. Also it usually takes more like an hour, at minimum, for good brownies to kick in.Cook it in a double boiler on a low heat for 45 min and it will not smell at all and you will not have to add water to the butter. If you cook it too fast on a higher heat it will smoke and burn and the it will smell. I do a lot of cooking with ganja. You can do the same thing with canola or olive oil and cook with it. I usually chop up the buds in a coffee grinder. I melt the butter in the pan and the add the bud and cook it on low for 45 min. Just keep an eye on the other pan and make sure it does not run out of water. When it is done strain out the plant material so you are left with the green butter or oil. I use a qtr of mid grade bud per stick of butter. When making brownies start out only eating 1/2 of one to gauge there strength and give them about 30 min to kick in. I make them when i am traveling. There is nothing like flying high.
Actually, yeah. A friend of mine did this with his males and it worked out terrifically. HOWEVER dry em out! Set your oven to 150º, pre-heat, then throw all the plant matter in for about an hour. Otherwise you're wasting a lot of THC. And this is after you grind it up, which you would of course do unless you're a dum dum.i wanted to ask can a plant be automaticly thrown in after just being cut down?
No, a double boiler is a sauce pan with boiling water in it with another special sauce pan that fits on top of it which the butter melts in. You control the heat by how high of a temp you boil the water. Get the High Times DVD "Chef RA's Ganja Gourmet." It works very well. 45 minutes works very well but you can simmer it longer if you want. The brownies i make will kick in in about 30-45 minutes and will kick your ass if you eat a hole one, if you use decent weed.Not to contradict, but I cook atleast one batch every day so if I may, that just doesn't cut it.

I am saying strain as usual. Then, run some hot water through the strainer (and the remains) to get the rest. The hot water will melt the remaining butter in the strained remains (that you would have tried to squeeze out) and there will be no real need for additional squeezing. I think it is much more effective than trying to squeeze the cheesecloth.The squeez is one of the most vital points in this prosess its gets what ever goodness (thc) thats left in those buds/trims u can actually see the colour of the godness and it also stops the buds and follage being laced through your clean butter the butters liquidized at this stage stright from the pot its not the cannabutter that u squeeze its the buds/follage that u want 2 be getting every bit out of
To be honest sleepy i dont really understand your method do u just pour every thing into a glass including the waist with just with more warm water ?

I do this commercially, and there are several reasons to use oil instead of butter for that process. I personally recommend coconut oil. If you're fairly good with your hands, you can just stuff it in bit-by-bit with your fingers and the blunt end of a pen (that's what I do).One way to ingest canna-butter is to inject the butter into capsules. Gel-caps can be bought at most drug stores , use 00 size, melt the butter , suck it up into a syringe and inject into end of capsule, use a fairly large needle, store in freezer . This is a good way to dose , if one doesn't do it after an hour , next time take two. This is a way to use up any butter that might have burnt , you won't have to taste it, except for a little burp now and then.
