Pro-Tips for Perfect Results
-
The Cooling Rule: This is the most important step for retaining terpenes and cannabinoids. Once the timer goes off, allow the oven dish to cool down completely to room temperature BEFORE removing the aluminum foil.Removing the foil while the dish is hot allows the active compounds to evaporate into the air—exactly where you don't want them.
-
Consistency: Ensure your buds are broken down into small, uniform pieces (but not a fine powder) to ensure the heat penetrates the material evenly throughout the entire bake time.
-
Active Status: Once your material has cooled, it is fully decarboxylated, activated, and ready to be used in your favorite cannabis edibles recipes.
