Cannabis and Cooking: How to Infuse Your Favorite Dishes with Cannabis

If you're a fan of cannabis and cooking, then you're in luck. With the legalization of marijuana in many states, it's never been easier to experiment with cannabis-infused dishes in the kitchen. In this blog post, we'll explore the basics of cannabis cooking and share some tips for infusing your favorite dishes with this herb.

Why Infuse Cannabis into Your Food?

For those unfamiliar with cannabis, it's important to understand why someone would want to infuse it into their food. While smoking cannabis is the most common way to consume it, many people prefer to eat it for a variety of reasons. For one, edibles can provide a longer-lasting and more intense high than smoking. Additionally, consuming cannabis through food is discreet and doesn't produce the same strong odor associated with smoking.

How to Infuse Cannabis into Your Dishes

Now that we've covered the why, let's dive into the how. There are several methods for infusing cannabis into your cooking, but we'll focus on two of the most common: cannabis butter and cannabis oil.

There are two popular methods for infusing cannabis into your cooking:

Cannabis Butter

Cannabis butter, also known as "cannabutter," is a popular ingredient in many cannabis-infused recipes. To make it, you'll need to decarboxylate your cannabis by heating it in the oven to activate the THC. Then, you'll melt butter in a saucepan and add your decarboxylated cannabis. Let it simmer for a few hours, stirring occasionally, before straining out the plant material.

Cannabis Oil

Cannabis oil is another popular ingredient for cannabis-infused cooking. To make it, you'll follow a similar process to making cannabutter. Decarboxylate your cannabis, then infuse it into oil over low heat for several hours. You can use any type of oil, but coconut oil is a popular choice because it has a high fat content and a neutral flavor.

Tips for Cooking with Cannabis

Once you have your infused butter or oil, the possibilities are endless. You can use it in any recipe that calls for regular butter or oil. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when cooking with cannabis:

• Dosage - Start with a low dosage and work your way up slowly. Edibles can take up to two hours to take effect, so be patient before consuming more.
• Flavor - Consider the flavor profile of your dish before adding your infused butter or oil. Cannabis has a distinct flavor that may not be desirable in all dishes.
• Temperature - THC begins to break down at temperatures over 315°F (157°C), so it's important not to cook your infused butter or oil at too high of a temperature.

Conclusion

Cannabis cooking is a fun and creative way to incorporate this herb into your daily life. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, there are many ways to experiment with cannabis-infused dishes. Just remember to start with a low dosage, consider the flavor profile of your dish, and keep an eye on the temperature. Happy cooking!
