is this post aimed at me? if so ....A) i never said i boil my butter but i lightly simmer (i assume you now the difference). B) i dont know what a double boiler is. C) i do my butter the same way everytime with just trim and always ALWAYS get put you to bed butter. D) if you just put butter in a pan with plant matter (like he said) then how long do you suppose you can leave it on the heat unattended for? (considering the process takes several hours) ...........well not very long i tell you!
a doubble boiler is like how you melt chocolate, a pan with water bring to boil then drop the heat to a simmer, put a pot that is made to do this, and sets right in snug, so the water dont get out no direct heat on the butter and trimmings so the mixture never gets over 160 so the thc stays and not evaporate do a search on the net you see what i mean and will use it works the best!!!

I used this method or a similar variation of it....1st I used a really fat 1/4 of some really kind buds (seemed like a costly waste but I took a leap of faith and went with it).

I did not need to cook for 4-6 hours more over 2-3 hours, the butter looked the same, somewhat lighter. I also heated it at a boil but this was for a minute, all the while adding a little butter along the way *Note: watch out it tends to bubble up on ya* constantly stirring, then I would bring it to a bare simmer, just enough to keep the butter melted and stirred every 15-20mins or so.

I ended up making cookies and everyone that tried one, said it was the best shit ever. I was very pleased with it as even a quarter or half cooky was like woweee.

well from what i have read, it seems that if you heat it over a temp. (i forgot the temp) it just vaporizes the canibenoids and thc. and if you think about that for a sec. it is the same theroy a vaporizer is used, heating the bud to burn the thc, and not the weed

Ok, I just ate 3 small cookies first thing this morning on an empty stomach and I can feel it . Took about 45 min. I had to pop them in the microwave for 20 sec to soften them up though and the taste is not great IMO. I over cooked the crap out of them. Had them at 375 instead of 325 in the oven and then I cooked them 10 minutes longer because the middle looked soft to me .....I dont know what I was thinking....They came out like bricks and i am worried the 375 oven temp cooked off some of the THC. Oh well , It was my first try and I only used Vaporized weed. Definetly should have lowered the temps at least 50 degrees.

lol, don't worry, first time, and if you make something that calls out for oil, just use the soften butter will work fine, and i cook way low on the temp, like 275, or 250 even it just take longer, but the i think with the theory of hi temp vapors the thc.....and mine always taste good, but you do taste the nature of the herbed butter!!!:mrgreen:
