Start with a Decarb!

(Decarboxylation)
It is always recommended to decarb your herbal materials before any infusion.
Decarboxylation allows the material to reach maximum potency for your oil, tincture, or butter. Don’t skip this important step!

To decarb:
Preheat an oven or toaster oven from 225°F to 240°F. Place your chosen amount of finely ground herbs on a baking pan. Cover with parchment paper. Tightly cover with aluminum foil. Place on center rack.

225°F for 50 Minutes
Preserves flavor
with potency| 240°F for 40 to 60 Minutes
Minimizes flavor,
but keeps potency
---|---

Once done, remove the pan, allow it to cool to the touch, or place it in the freezer to cool down quickly. Once cooled, place into the Herbal Chef Electric Butter Infuser, and you are ready to begin! Remember, you can always experiment with times and temperatures as oven may vary.

Straining
When the infusion has finished, pull the head unit off being careful not to let any hot liquids drip on yourself or anything else. We recommend using the Herbal Chef Silicone Gloves for handling. If none are available, allow it to cool for a while for safe handling.
Set up a cheesecloth draped across a metal sieve, and place it on top of a compatible container (glass is recommended).
Slowly pour infused liquids through the cheesecloth, allowing to drain fully, and cool to the touch. An Herbal Chef Silicone Spatula can be used to press excess infusion out of the ground material. After draining for a bit, use your Herbal Chef Silicone Gloves to gather the cheesecloth with the ground material, and wring to drain excess infusion into the container. Open the cheesecloth up, stir ground material around, and wring a few more times.

Storing Your Fresh Infusion

Now that you have an infusion, pour it into a storage container or mold that will allow you to easily portion out for recipes. We recommend the Herbal Chef Silicone Tray with Lid to store infusions in recipe-friendly portions of 2 tablespoons.
We also recommend using the Herbal Chef Silicone Spatulas to thoroughly remove all product from your Herbal Chef Electric Butter Infuser as well as the container you strained into.
