If you’ve ever wondered why raw cannabis doesn’t get you high,it’s because the THC isn’t active yet. To activate it, we must decarboxylate cannabis. This is essential, even for recipes that go in the oven.

The herb cooker makes this step easy. It gently heats your cannabis flower to the precise temperature range to activate THC or CBD.

To decarboxylate cannabis properly:

• Add cannabis to the herb cooker
• Set it to decarb mode
• Let the full cycle run

Oven baking doesn’t provide the accuracy or consistency needed to decarboxylate cannabis. Always decarb first for effective cannabis edibles.

Once your flower is decarbed, it’s time to make infused cannabutter.

• Add decarbed flower and unsalted butter to the herb cooker
• Use the “Infuse” setting
• Let the cycle run (usually 1.5 to 2 hours)
• Strain with the included fine mesh filter
• Cool and store the cannabutter in the fridge until ready to use

This cannabutter will be your base for many homemade cannabis edibles.

• Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F)
• Mix crushed biscuits, melted infused butter, and sea salt
• Press firmly into the bottom of a lined springform pan
• Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool

• Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth
• Add eggs one by one, mixing gently
• Stir in sour cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and cornstarch (if using)
• Pour over the baked crust

• Lower oven temp to 150°C (300°F)
• Bake for 45–55 minutes until the center is just set and slightly wobbly
• Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cool for 1 hour
• Transfer to the fridge to chill at least 4 hours (overnight is best)

• Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days
• Freeze individual slices up to 3 months
• Serve chilled, topped with:
  • Fresh berries or fruit compote
  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved dark chocolate or cocoa powder
