4oz shake, 2lb butter, 2cups water in my crockpot on low.

put this together an hour ago, just did first stir. wondering if there's any specific tips, or anything i'm missing. i'm an average smoker who came across about 2lbs of shake and a pound of stem. figured i'de buy a bunch of baking mixes and such and try this out.

Ok, I am late....

how did it turn out??

I like to simmer mine on the stove for 20-40 mins, allow to cool for 20 adn strain.
I put it in a pie dish or cake pan and refrigerate over nite, pop it out and drain dirty water, and you are left with nice clean butter to use.

Baking mixes...generally call for veggie oil, so I infuse oil for that, (well I make everything from scratch when it comes to baking, but there are times that the brownie mixes are a quick fix!!)

So, that is when I use the crock pot. on low, for45 mins adn let it sit overnight and strain.

Good luck, post pics!

butter is still simmering on low. heading out now to get some bacon and oust to cover up the smell some. when i get back i'm straining it:) can't wait!! my first batch of buttter.

when i use the crock pot, i never add water. but i also clarify the butter, taking off the milk solids as its cooking, then i add my finely ground marijuana. i cook it two hours a day for three days. cool slightly then strain through a fine strainer. this came out of a cook book by cameron bliss and another person who i forgot their name. this works very well. you can also use the same directions to do oil in the crock pot. also you want to stir every 15 minutes while heating.

check out Watermelon's crock pot method at

there are many ways to approach this, if you must use butter as your carrier I would clarify it first and not use the water at all.

hippy baking eh!

The book you are talking about is one I've recommended numerous times on these forums.

If you like the clarified crockpot method, you should use their water method(s); the improved taste will knock your socks off!

Of course Franny's recommendation is good too.
Watermelon is an awesome baker.

Hi I am new on this site not new to life. Wow contraversy or what over butter making, ok i will give you the version i think works well, clarify butter, this means melt it and take off milk solids, ut in a crock pot on high till bubbles turn to warm add leaf stem and a little bud, i use about 3\4 leaf and stem and 1\4 bud or trimmings or heck use all trimmings and bud! if you do use the higher grade use 1\2 oz per lb of butter, other wise use 1 oz per lb of butter, NEVER use marg. after you add your ground material add 1\2c of vodka it will bubble and stir put lid back on and leave on warm over night. boil some water about a kettle set aside. strain really well, panty hose new ones works well or a fine strainer, put the left over mush in a bowl and add boiling water put in freezer or fridge oh and stir, the remaining butter will rize take off and discard rest. now how to store your butter, you can freeze it or i like to jar it or can it, a small salmon jar holds 1\2 c put hot butter in hot sterilized jars and put on sterilized boiled lids and rings. and whala stores for a long time but i bet it won't last. I like mind on raison toast mmm mmm mmm ... other alternative is use the leaf or bud for tea add a little mint if you dont like the tast. as for backing it use any recipie but if using bud not leaf butter use half of p butter and half reg. be carful not to eat too much start off with a little and wait! good luck

I find that you need to consume budder (or any infused oils) soon after you make them. They generally will not last long in the refrigerator, as you can never fully separate the "dirty water" from the oil. There will always be some residue that will spoil.

So I make smaller batches and try to consume them right away. If budder or oil does go bad, you can always apply it topically to your skin and hair (seriously).

i like to use and ounce of bud per pound of butter. my brownie recipe calls for 1/3 cup of oil, and it makes a 8x8 pan of 1inch thick brownies which i cut in four. i use it for pain, and get about 5 hours worth of relief. relief that i dont get from large amounts of morphine.

when i get to watermelon's site, there is no place for me to click to get to the recipes.
