Yeah I cook mine longer if I want it stronger. If you want to lessen the potency you can just melt it down with some regular butter... but once you cook something and portion it out, it's not as strong as slathering it on toast lol. I use clarified butter and give it a good squeeze... I usually loose about a half cup in the waste.I have a Magicalbutter machine which is very similar. The recipe I use is also very similar except it's cooked at 160 for 2 hours. I think yours was overcooked looking at that difference.
Hi, not sure about your machine but if you have a potato ricer you can wrap up the waste in cheese cloth and squeeze the crap out of it. Then filter it again through clean cheese cloth.Hello. I recently purchased the Infuzium 420 as an upgrade from my crockpot. I followed their recipe 1/4 to 1 oz bud, 1 cup butter and 1 tbsp sunflower lecithin per cup. I made 2 cups, used 1.5 oz buds/trim decarbed and 4 tbsp lecithin. I mistakenly added 2x as much lecithin so I ended up adding 4 more sticks of butter and 1 oz additional herb. When it was done I only had 4 sticks of butter. I used Cabotbutter. I am not sure if I didn’t filter long enough/good enough or if adding too much lecithin solidified my butter a lot. I used a temp of 180° for 8 hours.
I used 1/2 tsp on an English muffin to try potency. If it’s awfully potent, could I add that butter to new butter and let it melt together to lower the potency or keep as is and when I use it for cooking use that and regular butter? Or maybe the potency is just fineThanks for the help.
Thanks for reading such a long post; if you were to do that math for potency would you use the total amount of flower used and the 4 cups as that’s all that was made or the 8 cups when trying to calculate the potency?
I have the magic butter version, which comes w a fine filter, I let it sit attached to a glass measuring cup and drain, I do this on top of my stove with it on, cause if the butter solidifies, obviously it's not draining, then I do a good squeeze, not too much cause then you're just squeezing out chlorophyll which tastes nasty, worth the sacrifice. My machine calls for 160 and 2 hours, I usually do three hours, never 8, which is what I did when I used the stove top. I imagine with that long, more cooks off.Thanks everyone for replying.
In my research the best temperature range to cook Cannabutter is 160°-200°; I’m certain my Cannabutter is not over cooked. I manually set the temperature at 180° because my crockpot is usually that temperature and the butter always comes out great. Thankfully all the butter wasn’t wasted!
I appreciate you all sharing that after filtering you typically get less than you added. I noticed that before when making 2 sticks of butter, I forgot to consider that for some of the ‘missing butter’. I should have been more patient waiting for the butter to drain. Potency test results tell me the butter is more potent than typical for me. I tested 1/2tsp, it hits atleast as a 20mg. I prefer 5mg/10mg for regular life and pain management.
This machine is quite handy. I am not sure yet how I feel about the ‘sludge’ it creates. When I used the crockpot and would stir butter/oil, you would have wilted flower. I would let it dry out and then use the flower in cooking/coffee. This stirs more often, is way more powerful than my wooden spoon and instead of wilted flower pieces, there was sludge.
I just bought a potato ricer to use for extraction. I can see where they help. I received the Infuzium, the potato ricer and new cheesecloth all in the same few days, I was upgrading :) and back at the learning curve.
Thanks for the extraction suggestion. What size measuring cup do you use? I have 1, 2 & 4 cups. The machine recommend using a size 73 filter.I have the magic butter version, which comes w a fine filter, I let it sit attached to a glass measuring cup and drain, I do this on top of my stove with it on, cause if the butter solidifies, obviously it's not draining, then I do a good squeeze, not too much cause then you're just squeezing out chlorophyll which tastes nasty, worth the sacrifice.

This machine (Infuzium 420) works similarly to the Magical Butter Machine, the main differences I saw before ordering my is that in this machine you can use as small as 1 cup (MBM 2cup min); the controls read differently and the temperature unit located on the canister instead of as a probe. I’ll need to recheck but the butter default is 160° for 2 hours.I have the magic butter version, which comes w a fine filter, I let it sit attached to a glass measuring cup and drain, I do this on top of my stove with it on, cause if the butter solidifies, obviously it's not draining, then I do a good squeeze, not too much cause then you're just squeezing out chlorophyll which tastes nasty, worth the sacrifice.
