Welcome to the ultimate guide on using the Mason Pot for cannabis infusions! Whether you're a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a curious beginner, this step-by-step tutorial will help you unlock the full potential of your herbs. Let's dive into the detailed process of creating potent and delicious cannabis-infused oils.
Step-by-Step Infusion Process
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
- Temperature: 240°F (ideal for decarboxylation)
- Purpose: Activates the cannabinoids in the cannabis.
Step 2: Prepare Your Herb
- Materials Needed: Mason Pot jar, cannabis (buds, shake, trim, AVB, or pressed flower)
- Preparation: Break down large buds by hand or grinder into smaller pieces for even decarboxylation.
Step 3: Set Up Your Mason Pot
- Assembly: Place the Mason Pot lid with a silicone hole on the jar and secure it with the band.
- **Tool Required: Insert the thermometer to monitor the decarboxylation temperature.
Step 4: Begin Decarboxylation
- Duration: 40 minutes at 240°F.
- Process: Place the jar in the preheated oven to activate the cannabinoids.
Step 5: Cool Down
- Procedure: Remove the jar from the oven and let it cool on the counter. This allows the vapors to settle before adding the oil.
- Next Temperature Setting: Adjust the oven to 190-200°F (typically 190°F at Mason Pot).
Step 6: Add the Oil
- Options for Oil: MCT oil, coconut oil, butter, or olive oil.
- Method: Remove the lid, add your chosen oil, and replace the lid securely with the thermometer still inserted.
Step 7: Infuse the Oil
- Temperature: 190°F.
- Duration: Set your timer for 60 minutes initially.
- Activity: During this time, the cannabis will begin to infuse into the oil.
Step 8: Enhance the Infusion
- Additional Time: After the initial 60 minutes, give the Mason Pot a gentle swirl with a microfiber cloth (also serves as a hot mitt).
- Purpose: This mixes the oil and flower, enhancing the infusion process.
- Second Timer Setting: Set for another 60 minutes to ensure thorough infusion.
Step 9: Complete the Infusion
- Handling: Carefully remove the jar from the oven after the second timer and place it on your countertop to cool.
- Safety Note: Handle the jar with caution as it contains hot infused oil.
Step 10: Strain the Infusion
- Tools Needed: Mason Pot fine strainer, another clean Mason Pot jar or any glass container.
- **Process **: Place the Mason Pot fine strainer over the new jar and prepare to strain the infused oil.
Step 11: Press the Infusion
- Tool Used: Mason Pot press.
- Action: Insert the Mason Pot Puck into the jar with the infused oil. Use the press to push down on the puck, ensuring every last drop of oil is extracted.
Step 12: Finalize the Straining
- Technique: Hold the press and puck in place with your index finger while pouring the infusion through the fine strainer to catch any remaining solids.
Step 13: Infusion Complete
- Outcome: Your cannabis-infused oil is ready! You can now use this oil to make edibles, tinctures, and other cannabis-infused products.
Step 14: Clean Up
- Cleaning Supplies: Soap, warm water, and the provided microfiber cloth.
- Instructions: Hand wash all used items and dry them with the microfiber cloth.
Step 15: Storage
