It’s widely assumed that as is the case with a fair number of everyday recipes, the longer you simmer your cannabis butter, the better the final result will be. In fact, there are some who will advise you to simmer it for as long as three days, babysitting it at all times and focusing on nothing else. In reality however, while you are free to simmer your cannabis butter for as long as you like, you’ll actually get the maximum extraction from your bud after no more than 4 hours – assuming you keep the temperature at the ideal level. In addition, there’s also the option of giving your cannabis 30 to 60 minutes in an oven at approximately 240° F, prior to going ahead with the simmering. After this, you will only need to gently cook it in the butter or oil of your choosing for an hour or two at the most. So whichever way you look at it, three days of nonstop simmering is unnecessary to say the least.
