Optimum MAGICOOK PRO - Preparation (Decarboxylation); Decarb Function

4 // OPTIMUM M A GICOOK PRO
You will want to use decarboxylated (decarbed) herb for your infused butter in order to make the active
ingredients available.
It is a complicated sounding name for a simple process. The basic idea is to heat the herb to 240
(115
oven with a good quality thermometer. The MagiCook Pro Infuser has a decarb function that works well
for small amounts. The infuser will heat the herb at the correct temperature and the blades do not spin
during the decarb process.
If you want to do a large amount at one time, then you will want to use the oven method. Make sure that
your oven is operating at the correct temperature. Place your herb on a baking pan covered in parchment
paper in an even layer, then tightly cover with aluminum foil and place on the center rack.
You do not need to use a grinder. Just crumble your herb up by hand into roughly even-sized pieces.
DECARB FUNCTION
As discussed in the preparation section, you will need to decarb all of your herb before making any type
of infusion.
To decarb a small amount-14 grams (1/2 oz or less) in the infuser spread an even layer of no more than
1/2 inch high of herb on the bottom. Press “Choose” until “Decarb” is flashing and then set time and
temperature as described in Basic Operation.
You can easily find dozens of decarb procedures but most generally agree that your temperature should
range between 107 225 and 115 240 . Times should be between 30&45 minutes. Another point
of general agreement is that decarbing at the lower end of the temperature range preserves the herb
flavor while decarbing at the higher end will minimize the flavor.
You will want to experiment with times and temperature that works best for you. If you need to decarb
a large amount of herb at one time use the oven method described earlier but make sure your oven
settings are matching the correct temperatures. You can easily ruin a batch of herb by overheating it.
Please note that the mixing blades do not operate in the decarb setting. It is a heating only operation.
