How To Make Extra Potent Small Batch Infused MCT Oil With The Mason Pot Infuser Kit

Welcome to the Mason Pot family! Today, we're diving into the art of making a small batch infusion using the Mason Pot kit. This kit is a game-changer for those who want to experiment with infusions without committing to large quantities. Whether you're a seasoned infuser or a curious newbie, this guide will walk you through creating a potent infusion with just a small amount of material.

Step-by-Step Guide to Small Batch Infusion

Preparing Your Material

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and let it preheat. This temperature is ideal for decarboxylation, which activates the compounds in your material.
  2. Grind the Material: While you can break it up by hand, using a grinder will provide a more consistent texture. For this batch, we're using about 1.2 grams, but you can adjust according to your preference.
  3. Place in Mason Pot Jar: Transfer the ground material into the Mason Pot jar. Ensure there are no remnants on the rim to prevent any waste.

Setting Up the Mason Pot

  1. Seal the Jar: Attach the lid equipped with a silicone ring and secure it with the band. This ensures an airtight environment which is crucial for the infusion process.
  2. Insert the Probe: Carefully insert the temperature probe until it touches the bottom of the jar. This will help you monitor the temperature accurately during the infusion process.
  3. Preheat and Timer: Turn on the thermometer, set it to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, and start the timer for 40 minutes. Place the jar in the oven and let the decarboxylation process take place.

Adding the Oil

  1. Cool Down: After 40 minutes, remove the jar from the oven and let it cool slightly. This makes handling safer and preserves the integrity of the compounds.
  2. Add MCT Oil: Pour just enough MCT oil to cover the material. This oil is excellent for infusions due to its neutral flavor and high saturation rate, making it capable of absorbing a lot of compounds.
  3. Infuse: Return the jar to the oven, this time setting the temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours. This lower temperature allows for a gentle infusion without degrading the quality of your product.

Final Steps

  1. Cool and Strain: Once the infusion is complete, remove the jar from the oven and let it cool. Unscrew the lid and use the press to squeeze out the infused oil through a fine strainer. This ensures you capture every potent drop.
  2. Store or Use: You can now use the oil immediately or store it for future use. It’s perfect for tinctures, gummies, or adding a kick to your smoothies.
