When I do it in the crockpot I always add some water. I fig the steam loss has to be accounted for and w the low water content of butter I would hate to have it burn. Oil would be a different story, it has a higher smoke point so it can take the heat with the least effort.
Tonight I tossed in 2 auto Hindu Kush and 3 Gigabud worth of trim and stems, no fans or stemmed leaves, just trich containing material w 5 sticks of butter and water, just separated and re-set into tupperware, its glistening like diamond dust and deep green. Hope it does the trick! This will be my 2nd serious attempt w bulk amounts and the 1st one did a great job in an instant spice cake mix, hid the taste well and could freeze individual portions and eat right from freezer, refreshing after a bowl!
its hours later around 2:30am. ate the first fruity pebble treat at 11:55 and been zoned since an hour after. Total head hit and amazing body stone, GF is wrecked on the couch, gonna sleep like a baby tonight! Good yield on a serving of 1.5 oz of treat plus a 1 oz maint. piece after 1 hour. Nice layered buzz. Taste is awesome. 6 Cups Cereal, 3 Oz budder, 10.5 oz bag of mini marshmallows, melt, mix, set, chow.
