From infused oils and butter to delicious baked goods and savory dishes, there are endless ways to incorporate cannabis into your cooking. One of the essential tools for creating herbal infusions is the Hello High Ultra Infuser. In this blog, we’ll explore five beginner tips for using this device to make your cannabis-infused creations.
Start with Quality Ingredients
The first step in creating delectable cannabis-infused dishes is to begin with high-quality cannabis flower or trim. Choose strains that align with the flavors and affects you desire for your infusion. The Hello High Ultra Infuser is designed to work with both dried flower and trim, so you have flexibility in your choices. Ensure your cannabis is properly cured and free of contaminants for the best results.
Precise Measurements are Key
Accurate dosing is crucial when cooking with cannabis, especially for beginners. The Hello High Ultra Infuser allows you to precisely measure the amount of cannabis you use, ensuring consistency in your recipes. Start with a lower dosage and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable with the effects. Remember that the effects of edibles can take up to two hours to kick in, so patience is key!
Decarboxylation is Essential
The Hello High Ultra Infuser will activate your cannabinoids through a process called decarboxylation. Simply put, this involves heating the cannabis to convert THCA (non-psychoactive) into THC (psychoactive). Place your cannabis in the Ultra Infuser and let it do it’s magic in less than 2 hours. You can also adjust the temperature setting to your desired settings. This all-in-one feature takes the place of buying extra decarb boxes and gadgets for your oven.
Control Temperature and Time
The Hello High Ultra Infuser offers 4 preset precise temperature and time controls for infusing oil, butter, honey, and tinctures which is crucial for achieving the desired results in your infusion. Different cannabinoids and terpenes have specific temperature ranges at which they are activated and extracted. By using the Ultra Infuser, you can tailor your infusions to preserve specific flavors, aromas, and effects. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect balance for your culinary creations.
Experiment with Recipes
Cooking with cannabis is a culinary adventure, so don’t be afraid to get creative. The Hello High Ultra Infuser makes it easy to infuse a variety of cooking oils, butter, or even cream. Start with simple recipes like cannabis-infused olive oil or butter for baking and sautéing.
