When making oil, do you guys just cook the bud in straight oil? Or do you use water too, and seperate it like butter?
The reason im asking is beacuse when making butter with water, the water extracts a lot of the nasty crap that does not get you
high... Im just wondering how you would do that if using oil...? If anyone is interested in better butter..... try this!
Before using your butter to extract your bud, turn it into clafified butter!
Clarified butter is
butter that has been
rendered to separate the milk solids and water from the
butterfat. Typically, it is produced by melting butter and allowing the different components to separate by
density. The water evaporates, some solids float to the surface and are skimmed off, and the remainder of the milk solids sink to the bottom and are left behind when the butter fat (which would then be on top) is poured off. The components that are not butter fat are usually discarded.
Clarified butter has a higher
smoke point than regular butter and is, therefore, preferred in some cooking applications, such as
sautéing. Clarified butter also has a much longer shelf life than fresh butter.
Also, use EUROPEAN STYLE BUTTER for this... it has a higher fat content than regular butter...
