You must be throwing in everything but the kitchen sink!

Good luck with that.

How's the butter? You can try a slab before cooking.

Hey GK!!!

Well, the butter has been tested in a batch of turtle biscotti cookies, and Oh my, is it POTENT!!!

And, yes Kermie, Mr A and Mr D- Thank goodness i used the 7 quart crockpot! I had been saving all my vaped buds (which was 2 lg ball jars full) plus i added ALL of the popcorn bud from grow 2, as well as frosty plant matter left overs. It smelled of such marijuana in here!!!

Ironically, the butter itself came out beautifully- the potentcy is exactly as i hoped it would be! i had zero problems this time with the cooking process, as well as taking the butter outta the container when it was chilled. Everything went great!

So, with a 1/4 cup shy of 3lbs of cannabutter, i will def be makin some yummy edibles! Can't wait!

i am incredibly f'd up right now... 3 cookies later...lol

Peace

I was just wondering how things went.

I only make 1/2 Lb/aat. I use 3/4 Oz. of good bud. I save my trim for hash.

Been a while I've been on here but glad someone liked the crock pot butter. And to the poster that was disgusted about the fact that I drink my butter straight.....you are right, it is gross but i am a bodybuilder also. It's bad enough I am drinking butter but I almost never eat simple sugars so cookies or brownies are a no go in my diet.

I use unsalted butter and clarify the butter to remove any non oil bases its pure yellow clear liquid then ad trim simmer for 2hours stirring occasionally then let cool then simmer and cool twice more then heat enough to pour through a strainer (fine mesh screen ) I put it in 8oz storage containers then onto the freezer

Compared to butter's 66% saturated fat content, coconut oil is 92% saturated fat. Theoretically that makes it capable of absorbing 39% more cannabinoids. Even margarine is only 80% saturated fat. Nothing else besides ghee (65%) comes close to coconut oil.

I'm not saying butter sucks. Butter always produces great results, but coconut oil seems to be even better. I have yet to do a side by side comparison although I'm fairly certain coconut oil is at least as good as butter. If nothing else it's a nice substitute for something a little different...and of course for vegans.

There is one possible drawback, at least in the baked goods arena of edibles. Since switching to coconut oil all my brownies cave in on themselves. Imagine instead of a brownie pan, a muffin pan. Now imagine a mini muffin pan (24 instead of 12). Rather than plump, fluffy, inviting miniature bite-size brownie muffin "doses" they collapse into little craters. Nevertheless they still kick my ass. Normally 1/2 gives me a solid 4-6 hours comparable to a couple big hits of premium buds. An entire mini brownie muffin made me stupid the whole afternoon and well into the night. Note that my sister achieves the same potency with a better end product, so my problems could stem from my lack of baking skills. Anyone out there know their way around a kitchen?
