Are you planning to make your own cannabis edibles? Wondering about the mistakes to avoid to ensure you get perfectly cooked edibles? Read on to know about them.

7 Common Mistakes To Avoid While Cooking Cannabis EdiblesIf you love cannabis and cooking, you can combine both of your interests and try your hand at making cannabis edibles. While you begin your experiments in the kitchen, here are some common mistakes to avoid:

1. Grinding the cannabis too much:

A majority of people try to grind the cannabis buds finely when cooking with it, giving it a strong grassy flavour. It happens when you pulverize the buds using a coffee grinder or food processor. It will introduce chlorophyll to the oil, giving it a plant-like taste and turn it greener.

 If you want your edibles to taste better, you must avoid grinding it too finely. You can use a hand grinder to maintain a coarse consistency of the cannabis. Ideally, it must be similar to the consistency of coarse salt. Using coarsely ground cannabis in edibles will give you a better tasting and enjoyable experience. You can also use sativa because the soothing aroma and taste can cover up the earthy flavours and also relax your mind.

7 Common Mistakes To Avoid While Cooking Cannabis Edibles 2. Cooking raw cannabis:

The most common mistake made while cooking with cannabis is using it in its raw form. It is essential to activate the cannabinoids CBD and THC using heat to enjoy their benefits, using a process called decarboxylation. While it might look like a challenging task, it is relatively easy.

All you need to do here is preheat your oven to 110-120 degrees Celsius. You can evenly spread the ground cannabis on a baking sheet and heat it for around 1 hour. Stir the buds after every 15 minutes to ensure you don’t burn them. If you are making cannabutter, you might want to use a lower temperature and use a slow-cooker for it.

3. Not adding water to oil or butter:

Not many people do this, but adding water to your oil and butter can be an efficient trick. To avoid your cannabis butter or oil from burning and cannabis from degrading, you can add water to it. Make sure you add as much water as the oil since it will only evaporate while cooking. The result can also turn out to be visibly different, lacking in the green colour.

4. Improperly straining the oil:

If you have infused the oil with cannabis, you must also have to strain it carefully. Cheesecloth is an ideal filter that will help you separate the oil from ground plant matter. When you strain the oil, it is best to let gravity do most of your work. While you might want to squeeze the cheesecloth to get most of the oil, it will bring along more plant matter and less oil. If you don’t want to end up with excess plant material in the oil, it is best to go gentle. 

7 Common Mistakes To Avoid While Cooking Cannabis Edibles5. Cooking at extremely high temperature:

As a rule of thumb, cooking cannabis at a lower temperature is ideal. When the temperature is too high and exceeds 200 degrees Celsius, THC starts degrading and breaks down long before that. Cooking it at a lower temperature will help you avoid that.

Even when you are using cannabis-infused butter or oil, pay attention to the cooking temperature. Do not use cannabis oil for frying or direct sautéing. When you are cooking in the oven, you can cook at a temperature of 190 degrees Celsius to avoid getting the food too hot. 

 6. Adding too little or too much oil:

Consuming cannabis edible canada turns out to be a gamble as you never know the potency of cannabinoids in the food. When it comes to making edibles, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can conduct a test beforehand to help you decide the potency of the oil.

You can take a personal dose of 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and add it to your food drink. Consume it and wait for an hour to check the effects. It will help you determine the potency, and you can decide the appropriate amount of oil required for your dish.

7. Not stirring while cooking:

A common problem with cannabis edibles is the uneven distribution of potency. While you may not feel a thing from one bite, you might get too high from the excessive THC in another. To ensure you have even potency throughout the food, you must continually stir the batter. It will distribute the cannabinoids throughout and make sure you enjoy the goodness of cannabis in every bite.
