You don't see many references to frying with canna butter so I thought I would give it a whirl.
I have had so much trouble lately with dosing that I stopped making big batches (shelved the MBM for now) and I am making smaller batches for experimenting with.
So, first I decarbed the pot. Then, I shook it over a 133 micron screen for the dry sift base material.
For this test I took 2 tablespoons of real butter and let it soften on the counter at room temperature. Then, I took 3.5 grams of the dry sift and mixed it in with the butter real good. I let it sit on the warmer on the stove for a while. It never went liquid. Almost, but not quite. I didn't measure the temperature.
At the end of the night I put it in the fridge to harden for today.
Not sure what to do with it because I want to ingest the entire 3.5g at one time but it's hard to eat 2 tablespoons of butter. LOL I thought butter mints but I would have to eat 1/2 cup of sugar to get the entire 3.5 grams. I thought, hot buttered rum. But... for breakfast? LOL
So, I decided on scrambled eggs and toast.
I let the butter warm up just a tad to make it spreadable. I made toast from some fresh ciabatta bread I made yesterday and smeared it with the canna butter. Not much.
Then, I heated up my ceramic frying pan and put a little plain, real butter in it. I let it heat up to just under the smoke point and measured the temp with my digital laser thermometer. It was pretty up and down but it never went over 300F and usually more like 200F - 240F.
So, I added all the canna butter and let it heat up to about 200F or 250F. I scrambled some eggs in a bowl with some salt, pepper, garlic and a touch of oregano. Pretty much how I always make my scrambled eggs, and fried them up in the butter.
Well, I sat down with a nice tall glass of milk and tasted the eggs. I was shocked. I could not taste the canna at all. I was real happy and took a giant bite of the bread.... yech, ptooey. LOL The bread was terrible (as is most canna food) but the eggs masked the taste of the canna better than just about anything I have tried yet.
I guess popular opinion is that it gets too hot to fry with canna oil or butter but I managed to fry some eggs and never got past 300F.
Anyone else have any experience with frying with canna oil/butter?
