Decarbing in an Instant Pot keeps odor to a minimum, is super simple to set up, and requires no extra special equipment. Plus, you can move on to the infusion process directly after, if you want.
If you want to calculate the dose of your edibles, you will want to weigh your material first. Weigh your material using a digital scale and write it down for later.
Note: You do not need to grind the cannabis, just break it up into small, popcorn-sized pieces.
Place your desired amount of cannabis in a mason jar. If you plan to move on to the infusion process after, be sure to use a jar that is big enough to hold your desired amount of butter or oil, ex: Pint vs. Quart jar.
Place a lid onto the mason jar and close it to fingertip tightness. You do not want it too loose or too tight.
Plug in the Instant Pot and remove the lid.
Place trivet or the steamer basket into the Instant Pot and then place the mason jar in the trivet or basket.
Add approximately several cups of water to the Instant Pot. The amount of water will depend on the size of your Instant Pot. You want the mason jars ½ of the way covered with water. Do not add too much water or go past the rims of the jar.
Return the Instant Pot lid and turn it on.
Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for: 40 minutes for THC flower, 60 minutes for CBG flower, 90 minutes for CBD flower, and 180 minutes for THC flower you want to degrade into CBN.
After your selected cook time has passed, carefully release the pressure or let it release naturally.
Remove the mason from the Instant Pot and set it aside to cool.
Your decarbed flower is now ready to use! You can move on to the infusion process or find many different ways to use it in the post above.
