Description
There are many reasons why you might want to choose using a mason jar over an oven for your decarb process. There is significantly less cannabis smell using a mason jar and you can take advantage of the fact that it is contained within a jar, to help supplement your infusions later. Many terpenes of the flower will stick to the jar during the evaporation process, making it perfect if you decide to use the same jar for your infusions later. You are also significantly less likely to burn your cannabis during the process.
Ingredients
- Mason jar with lid
- Baking tray
- Kitchen towel
- Cannabis
- Oven mitts
Instructions
- Set your oven rack in the middle of your oven and set the temperature to between 220 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Break up the cannabis flowers into rice grain-sized pieces, put the crushed pieces into the mason jar, and gently screw the lid on.
- Dampen the kitchen towel and lay it on the middle of your baking tray facing sideways. This will prevent it from rolling around, and give the jar better heat distribution.
- Place the tray in the oven for 60 minutes. Every 15 minutes or so, take out the jar using your oven mitts and lightly shake it to disperse the cannabis evenly within the jar. This will ensure that as much of the flower as possible gets decarboxylated.
- After the 60 minutes are up, take it out of the oven and let it cool for 30 minutes before storing it for later use.
Notes
Now that you are an expert on decarboxylation, we can move onto the fun stuff: cannabis infused recipes!
Almost all of these recipes use pre-decarboxylated cannabis as their base, and require about 7-10 grams, but you can always dose them how you’d like.
