Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
The process of decarboxylation is key when making cannabis cooking oil. If you don’t decarboxylate your cannabis, your oil will not be as potent. This process is easy to do and only requires a few simple ingredients. Let’s get started.
Preheat oven to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C).
Do not try to decarb your weed in the oven at a higher temperature because you will just burn it. If you want to decarb at a lower temperature, it will take a lot longer. Place marijuana on baking sheet. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Spread cannabis on an oven-proof tray.
Decarboxylation is the process of gently heating your cannabis to activate the THC. By doing this, you are essentially “turning on” the THC so that it will be more psychoactive when ingested. If you skip this step, your edibles will likely be far less potent.
Preheat your oven to 245°F (120°C). Spread cannabis on an oven-proof tray. Bake for 40 minutes, then let cool completely.
Bake cannabis in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool. Once it’s cooled, grind the cannabis using a coffee grinder or herb grinder.
Weed oil can go by a few different names, like cannabis oil, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), full extract cannabis oil (FECO), hash oil, honey oil, etc. No matter what you call it, weed oil is extremely potent. You can make weed oil in a slow cooker or on the stovetop using FECO or trim. FECO is already decarboxylated (activated), so you don’t need to bake it beforehand.
Choose Your Oil
Cannabis cooking oil is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different recipes. The type of oil you use is up to you, but each one has its own set of pros and cons. For example, olive oil has a strong flavor that can be overwhelming in some dishes. On the other hand, coconut oil has a milder flavor that can be a good choice for those who don’t want their food to taste like cannabis.
Pick a high-fat oil like olive, canola, or coconut.
Cannabis oil is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes and methods of ingestion. It’s important to know how to make cannabis oil safely and effectively so that you can enjoy all of the benefits that this powerful medicinal plant has to offer.
When making cannabis oil, it’s important to choose a high-fat oil like olive, canola, or coconut. These oils have a higher smoking point than other oils, which means they won’t burn as easily when heated. You’ll also want to use a low heat setting on your stovetop or slow cooker so that the cannabinoids in the oil don’t get destroyed in the process.
Cannabis oil can be used in a variety of recipes, from salad dressings to baked goods. It can also be ingested directly by mouth or applied topically to the skin. If you’re new to using cannabis oil, start with a small amount so that you can gauge your individual tolerance level.
Avoid using nut oils like peanut or almond oil.
While you can use any type of oil you like, some are better than others. The best oils to use are those that have a high smoke point, meaning they can withstand higher temperatures before breaking down and releasing harmful toxins.
Some good options include:
-Coconut oil
-Olive oil
-Avocado oil
-Butter
Avoid using nut oils like peanut or almond oil, as they have a lower smoke point and are more likely to release toxins when heated.
Combine Cannabis and Oil
Cannabis cooking oil is easy to make at home and can be used in many recipes. To make cannabis cooking oil, you will need to combine cannabis and an oil of your choice. The most popular oils to use are olive oil, coconut oil, and canola oil.
Place the decarboxylated cannabis and your chosen oil in a slow cooker.
Slowly simmer the mixture for 3 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally. The goal is to maintain a temperature between 245–255°F (118–124°C). This low and slow cooking process not only activates the THC in your cannabis but also allows time for the Terpenes to evaporate, which can alter the taste of your final product.
Once the cooking time is up, use a cheesecloth-lined strainer or coffee filter to strain the mixture. Store your finished oil in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Cannabis cooking oil will last 2–3 months when stored properly.
Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Making your own cannabis cooking oil is a great way to extend your weed supply, as well as get the most potent possible product. You can use this oil in any recipe that calls for oil, such as in edibles or topical treatments.
Cannabis cooking oil is easy to make at home and requires only a few ingredients and some basic equipment. The basic principle is to extract the THC from the cannabis plant material using a fat, such as oil. This process is called decarboxylation and it activates the THC in the plant material, making it more potent.
There are a few different ways to make cannabis cooking oil, but the simplest method is to cook it on low heat for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally. This will extracted the THC from the plant material and infuse it into the oil.
Once you have your cannabis cooking oil, you can use it in any recipe that calls for oil. It can be used to make edibles, topical treatments, or even just eaten on its own. Just be sure to start with a small amount, as cannabis cooking oil can be very potent!
Strain and Store Your Oil
Cannabis cooking oil is easy to make at home and can be used in a variety of recipes. To make your own, you will need to start with a high-quality cannabis strain. This can be purchased from a dispensary or grower. You will also need a carrier oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil. The ratio of cannabis to oil will depend on your desired potency.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour the oil into the strainer, being sure to catch any sediment that might be in the bottom of the pan. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to help push the oil through the cheesecloth. Once all of the oil has been strained, gather up the ends of the cheesecloth and twist to form a little pouch. Use your hands to squeeze out any remaining oil. Be careful not to burst the cheesecloth.
Pour the cannabis oil mixture through the strainer to strain out the plant material.
Pour the cannabis oil mixture through the strainer into the second bowl, pressing on the plant material with a spoon to get all of the oil out. You can also line the strainer with cheesecloth to make sure no plant material makes it through. Dispose of the plant material and let the oil cool. Once it’s cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place. Your cannabis cooking oil will be good for 6 months to 1 year.
Store your cannabis oil in a dark, airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Cannabis oil is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different recipes. It can be used to infuse your favorite dishes with the potent, flavorsome oil, or simply used as a condiment. You can even use it topically, although it’s important to remember that cannabis oil is highly concentrated. A little goes a long way!
If you’re new to cooking with cannabis oil, the first thing you need to do is figure out the right ratio of oil to weed. This will depend on your personal preferences and the recipe you’re using. Start with a small amount of weed and increase the amount until you find the perfect balance for you.
Once you’ve got your desired ratio of cannabis to oil, it’s time to start cooking! Cannabis oil can be used in any recipe that calls for oil, but it’s important to remember that it will add a potent kick of THC. If you want to avoid getting high, cook with CBD oil instead.
Once you’ve cooked with your cannabis oil, it’s important to store it properly. Store your cannabis oil in a dark, airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
