I recently tried out the POT by NOIDS to make some cannabis butter, and I’m really impressed with how easy and efficient the process was. Here’s how it went:

1000005518 I used about 10g of cannabis flowers (likely Amnesia, but I’m not 100% sure, it’s grown by myself and grown outdoors). I ground them up (not mandatory, but I’ve heard it helps with surface area and efficiency), then put them in the POT for decarboxylation.

1000005520 The device has a “Decarb” mode that runs at 115°C and takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, but mine was done in about 1.5 hours. The POT is smart enough to measure the progress with sensors, so it knows when it’s done.

After decarbing, I let the cannabis cool down a bit and then added 100g of melted butter.

1000005527 I’ve tried it with solid butter before, and it worked, but melting it first seems to mix better. I switched to the “Oil” mode, which ran at 100°C for about 2.5 hours. Once that was done, I let it cool a bit, swapped the normal lid for the filter set, and poured the infused butter into a jar.

1000005529 The butter was pretty dark at first, but after setting it in the fridge, it turned a nice green color.

1000005531 Honestly, I’m really happy I invested in this device despite the higher price. It’s super easy to use, and cleaning it is simple whether by hand or in the dishwasher. The POT is also surprisingly quiet – think of a slightly louder computer. Another plus is the minimal odor. My kitchen usually reeks when I use the oven for decarbing, but this time the smell was barely noticeable.

I highly recommend this device for anyone looking to make infused oils, butter, or concentrates easily at home.

    From what I understand, you mean adding water when you add the butter to the decarbed weed, which you can definitely do. But wouldn’t the water just mix with the butter and weed, and then get poured into the jar together? Or am I missing something? Do you separate the water after pouring it into the jar, before putting the butter in the fridge? I just want to make sure I’m getting the process right.

      After a few hours in the fridge the butter separates from the water, you can just pour the dirty water down the drain.

        That makes perfect sense! I’ll definitely try it next time. Lately, I’ve been diving into learning about cannabis, different extraction methods growing and all that, so tips like these really help. Appreciate you sharing!
