I don't have any SS pans. Suggestion: regarding cheesecloth falling in. If you make a multi-layered section of cheesecloth (one layer will let too much herb through), you can stretch it over a small tupperware container, or other container with a rim - and then use a rubber band just below the rim to keep the cheesecloth from falling into the butter.

Used trimmings and abortion buds from high grade weide finely ground with a coffee grinder. Two pounds of butter total combined with 58 grams seems to have worked great. I used a thermometer the whole time on the stovetop, about 8 cups of water, and kept it at a consistent 190 degrees. The stuff that floats to the top while it's barely simmering looks like the arctic ice shelf dropping off into the mix reaaaaal slow (slow enough that it doesn't look like it's doing anything if you just glance) for 2.5 hours. Let cool in the open air till at least 100 degrees, and then strained with cheese cloth/wire strainer combo (this also solves the problem some were talking about with the cheese cloth dropping into their bowl, the wire strainer keeps that from happening) squeezed it out and yielded about 770 grams of butter (so a loss of 138 grams so about 15% from the starting butter weight, this is probably just a little bit of the butter that evaporated while cooking) butter that was so bright green and delicious smelling that even though it was midnight and I wasn't going to waste a cookie by eating it that late, I made a batch of cookies just to smell them. The kid who ate three cookies was dropping off mid-sentence an hour later because he couldn't remember what he was saying literally in the middle of the sentence. This kid grows and smokes bud all day long and he got messed.. so I'm thinking it turned out good. I just ate one myself this morning about 15 minutes ago, so we'll see how that goes. It appears as though this is just like BBQ: low and slow, good to go. Be patient, meine potheadz Made the 1 oz./1 lb. mix last night.

It's roughage after all and given the quality of the bud it would only enhance the fibre content. I don’t understand why you shouldn’t be able to eat the cooked bud.

Just be careful which side you use. Would anyone think me a perv if I suggested using panty hose instead of cheesecloth? Just be careful which side you use.

I took a commercial brownie mix from the supermarket, mixed in the butter and cooked it as per the manufacturer's instructions. Specifically, I cooked it at 160 degrees centigrade for 35 minutes. The brownies were OK, but I got no kick, no buzz , no nuthin'. I think the cooking temperature was too high. Am I right, or did I do something else wrong???? One ounce down the tubes!

The butter floats to the top and hardens. The best advice I could give you for next time is to watch the temps you are cooking/baking things at. Keep in mind that cannabis starts to burn off all it's goodies at around 350-365 degrees Fahrenheit. Stems are good to add though, just make sure they are ground up really well and seeds don't really have a benefit. Plant those babies around police stations, banks, city hall, and the like. Plant the Earth green. Good luck, ese. Solidarity, Dr. G.T. Dearest Jason:
