Measurements#
I live in the US and cook with imperial measurement tools. However, I’ve found great success in utilizing metric grams in place of imperial cups, ounces, pounds, and so forth. A handy kitchen scale makes measuring ingredients fast, simple, accurate, and reproducible. Some imperial measurements remain in my recipes (ex: one 15 ounce can) mainly because it makes for easy shopping for and cooking with prepackaged goods sold in the US.

Method This method simplifies the task of maintaining a consistent temperature during the infusion process. Other methods indicate infusion on the stovetop, however, ensuring the butter/cannabis mixture stays within a range of 150°F to 200°F tends to be difficult....
