The Magical Butter Machine provides the easiest and most straightforward way to make cannabis butter. Other cannabis-infused products can be made, but for the purposes of this article, we will look at the most popular one, Cannabutter, and the main reason why this machine is so popular. After all, it’s right there in the name.
How To Make Cannabutter With The Magical Butter Machine
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make Cannabutter that serves as an example of how the Magical Butter Machine works.
Ingredients
These are the ingredients you will need:
- 2 – 5 cups softened/ melted unsalted butter (clarified butter is optional but recommended for best results)
- 14 – 28g decarboxylated cannabis per cup of butter
- 1 tablespoon Magical Sunflower Lecithin per cup of butter (optional but highly recommended)
Clarifying The Butter
Clarifying butter means that you should slowly heat all the butter you will use without burning it or stirring it in a pan on a stovetop or in a double boiler. After some time, you will see a white coating forming on top of the melted butter. These are called milk solids, and they can make your Cannabutter go bad faster.
Slowly scoop as much milk solids as you can with a spoon and discard. What remains is your clarified butter. As previously stated, this step is optional, but it will aid in producing the best results.
Decarboxylating The Cannabis Flower
You cannot simply pick cannabis flowers from the plant and use them in your Cannabutter; they must first be dried and then decarboxylated. This means you’ll be heating the cannabis flower to activate the cannabinoids, such as THC or CBD, inside. To help with this process, you can make use of the Magical Butter DecarBox and Thermometer.
This is a silicone box that can be placed in the oven, and the thermometer will assist you in keeping your cannabis at the proper temperature, as ovens tend to fluctuate by 10 °C from what you initially set them to.
Place your cannabis flowers in the box ungrounded and evenly spread out for 30 to 40 minutes at 250 °F/121 °C. After that, remove your cannabis from the oven with your LoveGlove (Magical Butter oven-safe glove) and set it aside to cool. What you are left with is decarboxylated cannabis.
Instructions
After completing the optional steps outlined above, you can begin using the Magical Butter Machine:
Step 1
Place your decarboxylated cannabis (there is no need to grind it; the machine does it for you), the unsalted butter (clarified if preferred), and Magical Sunflower Lecithin (preferable but highly recommended) inside your Magical Butter Machine and secure the lid.
The reason we say you should add the Sunflower Lecithin (oil, flour, or soy-based) in your Cannabutter is to help the cannabis bind better with the butter. But the product will still come out fine without it.
Step 2
Look for the temperature button and set it to 160 °F/71 °C. Then press the “2-hour butter” button.
Step 3
After 2 hours, your machine will make a sound to indicate that it is finished. You can now take the PurifyFilter (fine mesh bag) and position it on top of a bowl or jug. Take your mixture and pour it through the PurifyFilter.
Step 4
When all the mixture is poured through the bag, you can set the machine aside. Take the PurifyFilter and squeeze out all the Cannabutter from the plant matter as much as you can. After you are done, you can discard the plant matter.
Step 5
You should now have a jug or bowl full of melted Cannabutter that you can pour into your MagicalButter Trays or simply store in a container. Refrigerate your Cannabutter for several hours or overnight. After that, you will have beautiful green Cannabutter.
How To Clean The Magical Butter Machine?
Now here is one of the best parts of the Magical Butter Machine, you do not need to clean it, because it cleans itself! All you have to do is add a cup or two of water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid, then close the lid.
On top of the device, you will find five (5) buttons, and one of the buttons will read “Blend and clean”. Press this button, sit back, and relax. It will make a sound when it is finished cleaning itself, and then you can open the machine and dump the water. Wipe the machine clean with a damp cloth, and you are good to go for your next session without having to worry about any odours sticking to the machine.
Edibles That Can Be Made With Cannabutter
When making cannabis edibles with Cannabutter, you are essentially replacing the butter or oil you would normally use with Cannabutter.
However, if you have a high Cannabutter dosage, you may need to reduce the amount of Cannabutter you use, or after the cannabis edibles are made, you should not eat so many in one sitting. This can really put you on a hectic high.
So here are some fantastic cannabis edibles you can make with your Cannabutter:
Product | How to use |
Cookies | If a cookie recipe requires butter, use Cannabutter. This can be with any cookie, for example, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, and many others |
Rice crispy treats | Instead of mixing your marshmallows and rice crispies with regular butter, try swapping it out with some Cannabutter |
Brownies | The good old fashion way to use Cannabutter is to put it in your brownies. These delectable treats will have you wanting more. |
Butter chicken | When making some butter chicken with rotis or rice, try swapping out your butter for Cannabutter. Now that is something to experience |
On bread | This one is straightforward. Swap out your regular old butter with some Cannabutter on your sandwich |
Frosting | For a unique twist on your cupcakes and cakes, try making your buttercream frosting with Cannabutter |
Banana bread | If you have some ripe bananas lying around, then making banana bread is the way to go. And adding some Cannabutter to the mixture will make it taste even better |
Apple pie | Try using Cannabutter instead of regular butter when cooking your apples and butter in a pan before adding them to your pie crust |
