Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

BreakfastStandard
Buttermilk pancakes
Three of the sources we surveyed carry a pancake recipe and none of them mention the problem: a griddle runs far hotter than an infusion survives. The butter goes on top, not in the pan.

Chicken parmesan
A full dinner rather than a dessert. The chicken is fried and baked at temperatures no infusion survives, so the dose rides in the sauce that goes on top.

Cinnamon french toast
Thick-cut bread in a cinnamon custard, with the infused butter worked into a topping rather than cooked into the pan. The skillet gets plain butter; the dose goes on afterward.

Crispy rice cereal treats
No oven and about ten minutes of work. The marshmallow goes on the heat, the infusion goes in after, and the whole thing lives or dies on how evenly you press the pan.

Movie night popcorn
Popped in plain oil, dressed in infused oil afterward. Popping temperatures are far too hot for an infusion, which is why almost every recipe that pops in cannabutter wastes most of it.

Mulled apple cider

Mushroom risotto
The butter goes in at the end, off the heat, beaten hard into the rice. That final step is a technique risotto has always used, and it happens to be ideal for an infusion.

Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

Spiced hot chocolate
Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.
