Oil concentrate vs. cannabutter help

Hello I’m newer to edible and cooking

Should you mix a little oil concentrate in your edible recipe?

Can you use this to replace cannabutter?

I suppose you could. I'm assuming that when you say oil concentrate you're referring to RSO or FECO. Adding some of that to a batch of cannabutter would definitely amp it up.

I do. But it has to be decarbed first
Dissolve concentrate in butter or coconut oil, add to recipe,

This is how I prefer to make butter now. I take a finished concentrate and dissolve it in the butter or coconut oil. It gives the butter a much better taste, instead of a strong weed flavor like cooking plant material in the butter. You do want to make to decarb it. You can do that when you dissolve the concentrate into the butter, just heat it to around that 220 mark for about a half hour should do it. The decarb is most important if your not going to cook the edibles much or at all. If your making brownies or cookies that cook for a while I wouldn't waste the time with the decarb step because it will mostly decarb when you cook it.

It also allows you to roughly control your doses. If you take a recipe that calls for 1 stick of butter and you add one gram of concentrate then divide that by the number of servings you get a ROUGH esitmate on potancy. 1 gram x 10 servings = roughly 100mg each

Now to answer your question
Adding oil concentrate is a great way to infuse your edibles. Just subtract the amount of concentrate used from the total amount of oil needed as per the recipe.
Oil concentrates don't really work when substituted for butter, you need the fats. I have used Infused coconut oil successfully to make some Vegan treats, although it does affect the consistency.
