You should have just did the easiest way:
Slowly melt the butter in a pot, then grind up your herbs, add them to the butter once its melted, and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes but don't allow it to boil. Once 5 minutes is up, pour it in a container, and put it in the fridge. Once it hardens, cut the amount you need and melt it again in a pot. Once its melted, add it to anything you are cooking or baking with. I personally like the little pieces of the weed in it, especially in brownies.

Obviously, to each their own. I'm definitely not a rookie.

well to each there own... but imo it is best to use a double boiler, that way you NEVER can reach temps to burn out all of the thc and in using this method you can make some seriously potent butter...
just try it and you wont be disappointed...

Sorry all u ppl that think u keep the weed in the butter really don't know what ur doin, and u don't have to use lbs of butter every time either, u can do around an oz per lb or 1/4 per stick of butter if ur using decent small bud and shake, if ur a grower and ur using the trimming I'd say around an oz per stick if u grind it up fine, do like 3 cups of water, butter, and a shot of 100 proof vodka, throw it all in the pot bring to low boil/simmer for about 30min, then take boiled mixture and strain thru either a cheese cloth or I've even use an old wife beater of mine clean of course cut it so ur just using one piece of the shirt ya know dont double it. put it over another pot or bowl and pour now cooled(just cool enough so it doesn't burn u) mixture into other container thru shirt/cloth, use cloth to make plant matter into a ball and squeeze as much of the liquid as u can from it. Once complete take liquid and place in fridge over night or at least till butter rises to surface and hardens take knife cut around the edges once hard and carefully remove(got liquid below). Now u have ur cannabutter.
Sorry 3 cups might not be enough, Also other might think wth is with the vodka, but the whole point of the 100 proof alcohol is that it helps to break down the THC in the herb and to bond it to the fat in the butter. This is a Tried and True method all have theirs, But I do disagree with the need that u have to eat the weed just to get stoned.

agree with the first part of your statement..making edibles that look like spinach is for rookies....ANY extraction serves one purpose ..remove the thc from the plant material. and there is no easier way to make the most potent butter than a crockpot..it is not even debatable.

Drains Out? I've never seen butter that is mixed into batter suddenly start to separate itself from the cookies on the cookie sheet that is a new one to me.

Ahh hmmm, well I guess u could be right about that, I have just been sticking with brownies for awhile since they r all in a pan their can be no run off, didn't think about that I just smoked some of this nice sour diesel so I'm all stttttooooonnneeeedddddddd. Ohh and if u are using a recipe like brownies or w/e where they call for veg oil just melt the butter then add it to the mix like called for.
