Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil Magical Butter Machine 3 Tips

Pour 500 ml of coconut oil into the Magical Butter Machine pitcher. Add 2 tablespoons of lecithin granules. Remove your decarbed cannabis from the freezer — Fordee stores it frozen to prevent sticking — and dump the 20 grams into the pitcher. Put the lid on the MB2e. This Magical Butter Machine coconut oil recipe runs at infused coconut oil 160 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 71°C) for one hour. Select oil, set to 160°F, and press the one-hour button.

Step 2: Run the 1-Hour Oil Cycle

On the MB2e control panel, select the oil setting and set the temperature to 160°F. Press the one-hour cycle button. The machine will heat, blend, and circulate the mixture automatically throughout the cycle. You do not need to stir or monitor it — the infused coconut oil 160 degrees setting holds temperature steady without burning off THC. The machine will beep when the cycle is complete.

Step 3: Strain and Handle the Cannabis Coconut Oil Sludge

Place the provided filter bag or a cheesecloth over a funnel positioned in a storage jar. Pour the hot infused oil through the filter — the plant material collects inside the filter bag. Put on the heat glove (included with the MB2e) and squeeze the bag firmly to extract every drop of oil. Save the cannabis coconut oil sludge left in the filter bag — it still contains THC and fat and can be used in baked goods. The finished oil will be darker while warm but lightens as it cools and solidifies in the fridge.

What to Do with Cannabis Coconut Oil Sludge

The cannabis coconut oil sludge left behind after straining is not waste. It contains residual THC bound to the remaining fat and plant material. Fordee uses it in baked goods — stir it into cookie batter, banana bread mix, or muffins as a direct replacement for some of the butter or fat. The sludge adds a mild cannabis flavour. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container and use within 2 weeks.

Dosage Notes

This Magical Butter Machine coconut oil recipe uses 20 grams of decarbed cannabis in 500 ml of oil. If the strain is approximately 18% THC, the batch contains approximately 3,600 mg of raw THC — though actual extraction efficiency is lower. A conservative estimate is 60–70% extraction efficiency, giving approximately 2,100–2,500 mg total in 500 ml. That works out to roughly 4–5 mg THC per ml of oil, or 20–25 mg per teaspoon. Always start with a small amount (¼ tsp) to test the potency of your specific batch before eating a full serving.
