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.

A dipping caramel cooked to 245 °F and then allowed to fall to about 200 °F before the butter goes in — which happens to be the same temperature at which caramel coats an apple instead of sliding off it.

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.

Canned tomatoes cooked down with onion and garlic, blended smooth, then finished with cream and a slug of olive oil once the pot is off the burner. Ladling measured bowls is what keeps the servings honest.

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.

Butter and sugar cooked to 300 °F over almonds, then a chocolate layer spread across the cooled slab. The chocolate is where the dose lives, because nothing infused belongs in a syrup that hot.

Butter, parmesan and starchy pasta water beaten into a sauce that clings to the noodles. Heat is the enemy: too hot and the emulsion splits into grease and grit, stranding most of the dose in the oil.

Baking soda whisked into 300 °F syrup foams it into a brittle sponge in about four seconds. Nothing infused can ride in a syrup that hot, so the dose goes into a chocolate layer over the cooled slab.

Sifted matcha, water below boiling, and milk whipped hard enough to take up oil. A handheld frother does what a bamboo whisk cannot, which is drive the fat into the milk and keep it there.

A café mocha built to carry fat. Cocoa and milk proteins hold the melted butter in suspension once you blend it, which is why the foam matters here for more than looks.

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.
