I love my instant pot. Best way to decarb weed for cooking
I never thought to use it like this. Any chance you would describe the process briefly?
Sure! However it will be thorough not brief.
Decarboxylation
- 1 pint mason jar
- 1/2 ounce herb
- Roughly grind up the herb and place in the mason jar. Place lid and ring on the jar and close to finger tight.
- Place the jar in the Instant Pot on the canning rack or use another lid ring to prop off the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with water up to the halfway point on the jar
- Close the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 30-40 minutes.
- After the cycle is complete, release steam/pressure.
- Carefully remove the jar and let cool.
And because your instant pot is already out of the cupboard from decarbing here is the infusion instructions:
Infusion
- 1 pint mason jar
- 1/2 ounce decarbed herb (As above)
- Around 200g butter (or other fat/oil). Enough to just cover the herb)
- 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin
- Use the same jar you decarbed in if doing these one after the other
- Melt fat in the microwave (1-2min) and pour over herb
- Add lecithin and stir
- Put lid and ring on jar and close to finger tight
- Place jar back in the Instant Pot with water halfway up the jar
- Close the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes
- Make sure the “keep warm” setting is on
- Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release pressure for 40 minutes on the keep warm setting.
- Carefully remove the jar and remove the lid once cooled down a bit.
- Strain butter through cafetiere / cheesecloth / whatever
For steps 6-8 some people don’t like doing it in pressure mode. The alternative is to have it on slow cook for about 4 hours. I don’t think it makes a difference. I just do it differently depending on how much time I have available.
Thanks so much for this! I really appreciate you being so detailed. I’m going to try this shit out next time I make cannaoil
bummer. from what I’d read the owner seems like a pretty decent guy who wanted to make functional stuff. Love mine 8L instant pot, I use it multiple times a week.
Any recipes you’d recommend? We have one but have barely ever used it.
Any slow cooker recipe can and should be made in an instant pot instead, imo. People mostly used slow cookers for the convenience of throwing a bunch of ingredients together and setting and forgetting. Instant pots do the same thing however cook way faster so you don’t have to do it in the morning and imo it tastes better. Meats stay juicier and it only takes like 25-45 min instead of 4-8 hours.
One I make all the time is you just throw in a jar of salsa verde, quart of chicken stock, big package of chicken thighs, can of your favorite beans, frozen corn and some cumin/garlic powder/chili powder/bay leaves and boom you made green chicken chili. Serve with pepper jack cheese.

If you use them as a pressure cooker. They can also operate as a slow cooker and do the “throw in and forget and take out hours later” thing.
I most often cook rice, beans, or pasta in mine over a normal pot. Sometimes chilly or soups.
How tf could they go bankrupt, nearly every person I know has an instapot. It’s a household name at this point, a hyper successful product.
If every household has one, who is buying new ones?
Me, I wanna buy a new one! Was planning on getting my friends one for a gift soon too. Those things are super handy.
Sometimes I wish I had a second one. I would definitely use two at the same time if I had a second.
I have two and definitely use them both simultaneously from time to time. It’s a great rice cooker too.
Aw that sucks, I do have one and it’s pretty amazing.
Usually I don’t give a crap if some big corporation goes down, it’s a different matter (in my own personal mind) when someone who actually “builds stuff” goes though a hard time.
Well, bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily mean that a product is dead. Some other company will potentially buy their assets and could continue the brand.
