Thanks, I have ONLY used the budder to bake with. So I'm golden I'm guessing.
Decarb question

the mug cake could be the problem; you can't really regulate temperature in the microwave, plus the heat is produced differently (internal agitation of molecules) than external heat like ovens and stovetops. that's theoretical though, i've never made medibles in the microwave so i can't say for sure.
as to why it turned out too soft, the canola is probably the culprit (unless you used a recipe that calls for liquid oil) -- when you substitute liquid oil for solid (butter, coconut, margarine etc) the resulting product will prety much always be softer than intended.

I made the mug-cake on the oven x], 30min on oven
I'll try another 2 methods:
-using the same amount of weed, but cook on the oil for many hours instead only 1:30h
-using alcohol to dissolve the weed and then put into oil
going try the first one tonight

Alright so I just ate one of the new batch of blondies and they are AMAZING.. The decarbing before I cooked the butter definitely improved the final product. Also, the inclusion of liquid lecithin as opposed to the granular or powder made for a much easier experience.
Anyway, I am floating away right now. Be back after I've landed

I make my budder @~180F. It might eventually decarb at that temp. If you usr your budder to bake with, it will decarb during the baking phase. THCA does not change to THC without decarboxylation. Decarboxylation partially occurs with time. It is not to say that you will not get "high" if you don't decarb, you just will not get as high. People have been eating hash for as long as it has existed, and getting high. That material usually sits around for a few months and longer. The reason that it was not consumed right away is the weather is not condusive to hash making after harvest. High humidity is not good to make hash, but wait until the weather gets dry. This material is partially decarbed, as is any older material. I have some that is 7 years old that someday I will test to see exactly how much THCA it has. It should be interesting.
If you want to use your budder to apply topically or orally, decarb it. Sometimes the decarb process is done before making your product and sometimes it is done after. You will benefit from the THC in your budder, because I feel that it is partially decarbed. Before I learned from Jump, we were decarbing @ 180F and was happy. Now I am happier!
