for decarbonization for cannabutter : most put in oven at 200-225 temp for 1 hr.. Instead of using oven - one can put cannabis into crock pot on high for 1 hr -then put on low of 3-4 hrs. (one must boil water to put in crock pot (to start) to get at correct temp - (this will be about 180-200 - use thrometer - this water's temp will remain constant for 1 hr on high - then put on low of rest of time. NO oven but get the same results., no oven . no smell. when using the "magic Butter" machine , you need to decab your cannabis first in oven
 
So there's water in the crockpot when you add the weed? or it should all have evaporated/be emptied?
I thought the magic butter machine was decarbing itself...


Then there's this special tube like machine -looks similar to magic butter machine i think- called nova something that's specialized in decarb. Heard only good things about it since it's especially made for decarb. Would love to have some more feedback, from people here, on it.
 
I got another tip. I decarb putting the weed in a vacuum “food saver” bag. Already chopped in small pieces. I seal leaving room in the bag. Then in the small remaining space in the bag I put a butter knife and then vacuum seal again. I put a pot of boiling water and throw it in there, the knife helps to sink the bag and I let it boil for 1 to 1.5 hours (usually about an ounce) then I let both cool. Once cold y just take it out and it’s ready
 
No need to decarb...if making butter in crock pot.. Or machine.. It self decarbs as it's sitting in there.. This is not my opinion... Tikashared this fact with me.. and it rings true
 
Yes, I do think that. I have also tried sous vide .
I prefer slow low- warm cook on and off in crock pot . Takes longer but I've never over-decarbed my weed.
Just my personal choice in Making 1-2 lbs of butter.
 
once you add your butter to water with water - yes; there is water in cock pot - thought the same too about the magic butter machine - in fact really didn't like it for butter - add least 4 cups water to 1 lb of butter - all ways use more water depending on your amounts

Vegetable glycerin or coconut oil also work. I like the coconut with low flavor. The glycerin is sweet.
You can also decarb, then use EverClear to make an alcohol tincture. 1 gram of flower to 1 oz of alcohol can give a pretty strong result.
 
Coconut oil...
Side note.. tell your wife to be careful tho.. A lot of nutrients have animal protein in them... she could be smoking them instead of eating them..lol
 
The coconut oil I use is vegan, organic, non GMO, low taste/flavor, stores at room temperature.
I never use any oil of any kind that requires refrigeration. If it rots at room temps, it rots in your body. Or so the saying goes.
Commercial salad dressings are the big user of oil that rots.
