When making canna butter does it really matter if you use unsalted or salted butter? If it does make a difference, what is it? Please advise.
Thanks!

it doesn't matter. the salt will boil off. that's why unsalted is used. but it won't cause any harm
now i might be a little off here, but how does salt, which is a solid, boil off? please elaborate on this.Quote:

unsalted is just healthier we already get way to much salt in our diet. the only reason the salt butter is to preserve it longer.
Both would be the correct answers. Salt does not "boil off" except in bizzaro Jerry's kitchen. That is especially bizzar because Jerry never cooks!
Unsalted butter is used in baking so salt can be added precisely according to the recipe. Since you can not measure the salt in salted butter it's not used. For example: too much salt would lessen yeast reaction making bread not rise as much.
