Crock pot is the way to go

Hey Bongulator, that's about $100 or so per batch, right? Well, if had that much and some to spare, I might try that. As it is, I've just now found the half ounce I lost in my kitchen (it was not in the kitchen), so there's no way I can do that. If I ever hit the jack pot, though, I would try that.

Brownies, though? Hmmm. How about muffins?

Was it on this thread that someone mentioned making ice cream? Now that would too much fun--root beer floats with some great root beer, like Virgil's, and some good homemade ice cream. I could see doing that for dinner one night, ha ha. "I'll just skip the entree and go right for the dessert."

So am I right? That is about what it would cost to make a batch of brownies using your recipe?

Yah I love the crock pot for making butter! I fill it with water, add trim, add butter and set it so it is at a low simmer and just let it go for hours. Makes the whole place smell like fresh cut lawn. Then I strain out the trim pour the remaining liquid into a pyrex baking dish and refrigerate it. The butter collects at the top and hardens then I just poke a small hole and drain of the excess water. I collect the butter put it in a pan and heat it on low for a bit to evaporate a little more water take it off and pour it into ice cube trays. Then it goes in the refrigerator and later the freezer. Makes nice green VERY potent butter.

I always thought that the reason for using the crock pot was so we didn't have to mix water with the butter when simmering. The water was used when heating on the stove so as not to burn the butter. The slow cooker allows me to use only butter, and omit the separation step.

For making oil, the best is coconut oil.

And for dosing, I have settled on these amounts for each end-product cup of butter or oil, 1 ounce of bud or 3 ounces of leaf. So that 5-6 cup bottle of oil would require 6 ounces of bud or 18 ounces of leaf.

HTH

$100 per batch? Yeah, I guess it would be about that, if you bought it. It's actually not a bad deal when you do the math. Out of each batch of brownies, I get eight doses (16 brownies per pan, and I usually eat two per dose). Each dose stones me out for about 8 hours. So that's 64 stoned hours per batch of brownies, and there's about a quarter ounce in each batch. So that's around 9 stoned hours per gram -- which is more hours of being stoned than I'd get by smoking it.

But yeah, it helps if you produce your own material.

Holy crap, potroast, that's some potent oil you make! I can see the point though -- I'd get 16 doses per pan of brownies that way, since I would only need to eat one brownie instead of two. But I actually kinda like eating two brownies anyway, so I'm happy with my half-strength oil. Plus, my significant other doesn't like it quite as strong as I do. She gets four brownies out of each pan, which lasts her 4 days. I get 12 brownies out of each pan, which lasts me 6 days. Heh.

i made wild berry muffins a couple months ago that came out like shit. tasted like plant material.

i'm happy using a half in enuff oil for 1 batch of brownies. i agree that if I ever hit it big I'll cook with larger amounts but it's real expensive as it is only using half an oz.

or if this growing thing ever becomes clear to me..... thus far it's nothing but

I use the water with the slow cooker so I can leave it for the day and not watch it constantly. It also allows me to up the ratio of trim to butter a bit.

That makes sense, about letting it cook all day.

I forgot that I had made some heavy cream mixture from reading this thread, and I found it in my fridge last night. Very, very good with some Yogi tea and a bit of bourbon spiked with some nice stuff. Better than any old nightcap.

Where is everyone? No music tonight? Am I on the right thread? I keep getting these cooking threads all mixed up.

Pot Roast? No comment on the terra cotta cookers? You need to try this, if you really are into pot roast--the kind made with beef or bison, that is

Oh, and the coconut oil is a great idea! Oh, mix it with a bit of that Capt Morgan suntan lotion, low alcohol rum, and that could be a nice little snort, eh?

Ok I put 3/4 of oz in cheese bottoms buds into crockpot @ 1;00 pm came home from work and unpluged the crockpot which was on the lowest setting. It was in veg oil. All the bud was brown and chrunchie. I will never listen to you dildos again . Thanks.

LMAO! Dude I don't see what the problem was did it burn? When you make oil it turns brown . . . .

what does that mean, what did you do? didn't you grind it to a dust as was instructed in the begining of the thread? surface area is key to both consistancy and taste, and prevents burnt crunchy weed in your crockpot.

i've dont this a hundred times and it comes out perfect.

Did you put the oil in the crockpot with the weed? You cant' stick the weed in there all alone.

I don't understand how anything burnt in a crockpot, are you sure you did it right?

1. Just buy a brownie mix from the store that uses 1/3 cup of oil.....

2. Take 1/2 oz of weed and grind it up as best as you can (the finer the better).

3. Put a pan on very low-low eat and use the 1/3 cup of vegetable oil with 1/2 oz of weed and simmer for about 30-45 minutes or so.....

4. Use the final product as your oil in the baking directions, but I wouldnt cook above 400 degrees F (some people say a lot less).

I make 9 x 1.55g brownies with this.....we all know thc suspended in fat is able to be converted to a stronger cannabinoid (delta 11) by the liver when ingested.....Follow this recipe and I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE LET DOWN!!!

rollwithit said:

Yea I've tried doing that too.. i've had some success with it, but nothing like extraction my friend!! You can get high eating it chopped up in different receipes but you can get blasted proper from the same amount if you extract the thc into something fatty, like oil. Just letting you know man, we all have our own relationship with MJ.lol.


For example, smoke 2 grams of low grade cheap mids and get a little stoned each time. But eat the same herb after its been extracted and you can bike 30 miles in NewEngland on a 90 degree day and still be stoned for the next 10 hours when you arrive! lol I swear it's true. 2 grams of accurately prepared dirt weed is a weekend of fun....well, maybe just saturday and into sat night... lol but still!!

I never saw a thing here about cheese. So, why are you calling us dildos?

Got any good music ideas for us?

I think he was referring to the strain.

If you got some cheese on your dildo, it's no wonder you screwed it up.

LOL, dildo's are not to be substituted for fondu forks.

LMAO. Oh, that would be one hell of a fuck-up, huh?

Miss Hester? Fondue forks? I never thought of that! BRB. I'll let you know how it works out. Could be painful, might be fun. I'll keep you posted!

Bach. Harpsichords. That's what I've got on right now.

And I'm going back to work, as soon as I can stop laughing, that is.

Sorry about the dildo comment I was drinking that night. I didn't chop the weed real fine I just used siccors and had the crockpot on low. Maybe I left it in there too long.
1:00 to 4:00.

Hey, that's okay. As you can see, we had some fun with it. And I was corrected: the strain, the strain!

Do you have a small food processor? Stick the weed in there to chop it up very fine. Or you can get a coffee bean grinder and use that. A lot of cooks use those for grinding other herbs. If you go that route, however, I wouldn't use it for grinding coffee too. You'd have to wash it out with soap and water every time you wanted to switch from coffee beans to herbs. Better two grinders.

The dildo comment was funny, really funny.

Been listening to any music we should know about?
