Cooking Pot Butter

[Solidly-here]

Butter is better with THC in it ... share it with a friend.


Club222 began this Thread (but her Post got bumped by a technical glitch). She asked for help in making Pot-Butter. She read, on another website, one way to make it (called here 'this recipe'), and wants to know the Best way to do it.


Well, club222, SWIM is reaching out to another fuel. Everyone smokes pot, but few of them Eat it.


I have buttered up pot a few times. The way I do it is a little different than "this recipe" is doing it. But, to answer your question, if SWIM is gentle, the smell is very slight (and it's different than the smell of burning pot).


My Recipe: Get some butter. Melt it in a saucepan. Pour water in the pan (at least half-an-inch, but more is fine). (At this point, there are two layers: the butter, and the water.) Crank the heat up until the water begins to boil.


Turn DOWN the heat (all the way to the lowest Low). Wait a minute or 2. Pour in the weed. Stir often (until you think it's cooked long enough, 10 minutes is plenty). The weed remains in the water layer. The THC gets absorbed into the butter layer. The smell comes from the butter layer (so less smell is released when it is covered by the water layer). When Swim's done, he can just throw the water layer away (with the stems and flowers in it).


The main thing to remember, if you don't want the room to smell very much, is: You DON'T want to cook the weed ... just keep the mixture warm enough to keep the butter melted. As you Stir, the THC is exposed to the butter layer (and gets absorbed into it).


My thoughts about the "this recipe": If you just use butter, (1) there is MORE smell in the room, (2) setting up a double-boiler takes time (and clean-up time) and (3) you have to separate-out the plant material after the cooking is done.


Another thing about smells wafting into the room, if the Exhaust Fan is on, quite a bit of the smell will be sucked away before it gets into the room. Never underestimate how a little help can be a Big help.


As far as How Long does the smell remain, certainly by the next morning, as I walk into the Kitchen, there is no residual smell. (This is different from some smells, which can be there for days.)


Review. The smell isn't intense. The smell is not long-lasting. Cooking with a water-layer has less smell. And, the buttered-up foods are FUN to eat (and to digest) ... and the effects last for a good, long time (up to 10 hours).Edited by: Solidly-here
