Welcome to the Mason Pot Family! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of transforming an ounce of Chemdawg cannabis into potent, organic, unrefined coconut oil using a simple kitchen appliance: the air fryer toaster oven. This method not only simplifies the infusion process but also maintains the integrity and potency of the cannabis. So, let's get started!
Step-by-Step Guide to Cannabis Decarboxylation
The first step in our infusion process is decarboxylation, commonly known as activation. This is crucial as it converts the non-psychoactive THCA in raw cannabis into the psychoactive THC, which is what most users are after. Here’s how you can do it:
- Preheat your air fryer toaster oven to 240-250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare your cannabis: Place the Oz into a Mason Pot jar equipped with a silicone sleeve. Although I usually recommend grinding the cannabis for better absorption, today we're keeping it simple.
- Insert the thermometer probe into the jar, ensuring it’s well-positioned to monitor the temperature accurately.
- Set the timer for 40 minutes, allowing the cannabis to decarboxylate. The ideal temperature should hover around 240 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
During this process, you might notice a slight color change in the cannabis, turning a bit brownish. This is a good indicator that the decarboxylation is proceeding correctly.
Infusing Coconut Oil with Decarboxylated Cannabis
Once your cannabis is activated, it’s time to infuse it with coconut oil. Here’s how to do it effectively:
- Melt the coconut oil: Place your coconut oil on top of the oven while the cannabis is decarboxylating. This will turn it into a liquid, making it easier to handle.
- Mix the cannabis with coconut oil: Pour the melted coconut oil into the jar containing the decarboxylated cannabis. The ratio should be about one cup of oil per ounce of cannabis, but since we're aiming for a potent infusion, slightly less than one cup per ounce is ideal.
- Ensure all buds are covered: Use a small press to gently push down the cannabis, ensuring it’s completely submerged in the oil.
Set your air fryer/toaster oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the sweet spot for infusion. Infuse for about three hours, checking occasionally. If you're a bit clumsy like me, keep a Mason Pot microfiber cloth handy to clean any spills and handle the jar safely.
The Final Steps: Cooling and Straining
After the infusion time is up, allow the mixture to cool down before handling it further. Here’s how to finish off the process:
- Remove the thermometer probe and open the jar using a microfiber cloth if it’s sealed tight. 2 Strain the infused oil: Using a Mason Pot fine strainer, pour the contents over any cup or jar to separate the oil from the solid plant material. This is where the Mason Pot puck and press comes in handy, allowing you to press down and extract every last drop of your potent oil.
- Store or use your infused oil: The color of the oil should be a nice, rich hue, indicating a strong infusion. You can now use this potent coconut oil in various ways—add it to smoothies, incorporate it into your cooking, or even enjoy a spoonful in your coffee.
