Which Butter Machine is Best?

[MawiWowi]

I’m contemplating the purchase of a butter machine and see several types, brands, etc. on Amazon.

Anyone have a recommendation?

Also, do you need to decarb before putting the material in the machine?

Yes you need to decarb before infusing.
Try an Ardent Nova or FX as it does it all, first cycle decarbs then you add butter or oil and run it a second time to infuse.

Ok, I’ve checked it out and looks good, though the 350 price is crazy.

Anyone have a LEVO? Would like to hear opinions, comparison. At 250, and adjustable settings, seems it may be a better buy than Ardent.

I use one of these…69 dollars on amazon
I believe @blackthumbbetty does too

@Spiney_norman reeeeaaally! Now that’s what I’m talking about! Would you mind sharing your process/settings for decarb, and infusion?

Here is one link about it.

Using an Instant Pot for Budder/Oils/etc

@AnneBonny. Lol! I agree about being intimidated by pressure cookers, myself. The new electric ones, with all the safety features, just seem safer, otherwise my stoned, silly butt wouldn’t go anywhere near a pressure cooker. I was looking at the mota maker & mbm, and they use a small amount of pressure to get the job done. I thought to myself, hmmmm…I wonder how a pressure cooker would work? There aren’t too many online articles about it, well, at least not as many as I thou…

My personal process is to grind 14 gms of buds and put in a mason jar with 1 cup coconut oil.
Coconut oil melts at 75 degrees so a few seconds in the microwave and its easy to measure.
Put it in the instant pot with three cups of water, there is a wire rack to keep the jars off the bottom.
Put the lids on until they just stop…do not tighten
Pressure cook for 1 hr. We do it in the evening and let it stay warm overnight.
The cooker runs at around 240 degrees which is fine for decarbing.
Some will bake it in the oven a bit before decarbing in the cooker. We never do.
Strain the oil and use the oil in whatever recipe you like. We make cookies.

I eat 1/3 of one and im good. Im a lightweight…Lol

I’ll be trying this very soon, many thanks!

And it cooks food great too. Love cooking rice and beans in it.
Enjoy

Here’s how I do QWET and Infusions.

blackthumbbetty's Cannakitchen🍫

Let’s start with the most important ingredient of edibles: The Cannabis. How do we get the weed into the feed? Simple: we need to remove the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavanoids from our starting material, turning it into an easy to use and bioavailable ingredient. For our purposes, we’re going to use Extraction and Infusion. I am going to discuss 2 basic methods below. These are the methods I personally use**. However, use whatever methods you feel comfortable with. Descriptions of …
