damn, some of your butter look great. this is an old one i had before i moved. i never even made it half way thru this before having to discard it because of the move! The chunk is see missin is the amount it took to make a full batch of knock down edibles! (tear) and now im too lazy to make more!

Been a long time since I was in forum-land, just been working on some cooking lately & trying to figure this all out. :)
Bob, I made cannabutter this week, using your recipe. The only adjustment I made was to cook for 6 hours, since I read in several other places that cooking it more than that causes the THC to get burned off.
I made the butter into red velvet cupcakes, & even 'spiked' the cream cheese frosting (the recipe called for butter). The taste is actually quite good! You can definitely taste the weed, but in a yummy sort of way. Baking is a hobby of mine, so I had some good ideas about flavoring to compliment that, & they worked well.
The problem is that there's NO potency to these things whatsoever. You could eat all 24 cupcakes, & I'm pretty sure not catch the remotest buzz at all. :((
I know we're not to get 'hung up on specifics', but before I waste the other 4 oz I have dedicated for butter, I think I'd actually prefer some specific info. :)
Does anyone know what temp the butter should be kept at while simmering? By temp, I don't just mean "low". I mean, if there is a known temp at which weed loses the THC, what is that temp? I have a candy thermometer to measure the temp of things cooking on stovetop... but a week of googling hasn't turned up what temp I would need to watch for. Please, help!
For the record, I did keep the butter on "low" heat the entire time. It'd just be nice to have a more specific measure of temp. I just wasted an ounce of decent shake & popcorn, & that is just not a happy experience. Thank you to any & all who can help! :)

my grandpa has lung cancer and he can barely eat anything, so much that he is in the hospital right now. he should be out tomorrow and i want to do something to make him feel better. obviously he can't cmoke, but will the butter still make him hungryer?

I think I like stinky's hot wash extraction method the best but I have a question.
If I don't have a cheese cloth can I use a regular paper coffee filter or plastic strainer that I'd use for noodles/mac n cheese??
Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion.
nevermind...coffee filter was fine, came out great!
Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion.
The filter worked but need suggestion for if you don't have a cheesecloth. I know my straining can be improved. Any help please?

Found the answer off site. Nevermind.
