I think plant matter in the brownies would be terrible. Eeww
Got a crock pot?
Put all your dry trim in there ( lots)
And add a couple sticks of butter.
Cook all day, cool, strain, use.

no water boil? I fell you'd lose a shit ton soakin into the plant material... Ive always heard that method, but add water, then after the boil, cool, skim solidified butter off the water....

I thought the original post sounded pretty sane, except for possibly stinkifying a perfectly good crock pot. Why do you think the THC would absorb into the plant? It's oil soluble, and therefore should dissolve, then blend in and become part of the butter. Just pull out the bag with the herb inside, wring out any butter that's been absorbed back into the crock pot, and bake some cookies with your 'tasty' butter.

The THC is in said oil.... Im saying bleuballz's crock recipe needs water added...

Otherwise, with only the butter, when you cool it, you will have weed sludge.... and then u strain it? How would you ever get all the butter/oil out of the plant material... (especially cooled)


Cook, strain, cool, skim.

and with crockpots being cheaper than half a tank of gas these days, get a green one n make it special purpose :)


Also u mention pulling out the bag, but theres no mention of that either, in either yours or the crockpot post... details prevent newbies from making expensive mistakes. Guessing your boil-in-bag'ing your trim in a paint strainer bag?

Flagg - I'm pretty sure the water is used because you want to warm the butter to melting without burning. Boiling in water guarantees the butter never gets above 212 deg F, and therefore won't burn or scorch. I've never tried the crockpot method but due to its low heat, once again the butter should be safe from scorching on low, but not sure about the high setting. I would agree that if you put your herb directly in the butter, it's probably going to be somewhat darker and nastier with more plant material staying in the butter. I mention bags such as the herb bags you use when cooking which should contain most of the plant material. Ultimately I think the boiling water method would produce a cleaner bud with less plant material, but I'd be curious to hear from those who have used both boiling water and the crockpot way.
