SweetSue's BioBomb Brownies: Updated Version

I've drastically changed the way I make my brownie oils since purchasing the Instant Pot, so I thought it was time to update the oil recipe.

I start with 8 grams of good bud. No decarb necessary. The pressure cooker will both decarb and infuse.

This is particular mix is two different versions of Devil's Carnival with 2 grams of Thin Mint GSC.

After grinding I pick out all the larger stem pieces and make certain everything is busted up nice and small. I won't be straining it out so I want the plant material small enough to not be distinguishable by texture from the rest of the brownie.

I do a pot-in-pot arrangement in the Instant Pot. The ground bud is mixed with 1/2 cup of coconut oil. I prefer the unrefined. I think it enhances the brownie flavors.

A domed aluminum foil top is lightly placed on the bowl to keep condensation from dripping into the oil.

I cook on high pressure for 110 minutes (1 hr and 50 minutes). I've checked with a hot oil bath and this gets the bud decarbed enough to be nearly fully converted by the time the brownies are cooked.

I let the pressure cooker release the pressure over time, on its own. Typically I start at night when I'm on my way to bed and let it do its thing while I sleep. In the morning I pop it open and pull out the bowl.

This is why there's a dome on the bowl.

At this point I add a tablespoon of lecithin, although I never really measure anymore.

If I'm using olive oil, the bowl of oil goes into the fridge for between 6 and 24 hours to allow the lecithin time to emulsify the oil and cannabinoids. If this were a medicinal brownie I might consider EVO to avoid the first-pass of the liver. Olive oil is absorbed first into the lymphatic system, and as such is more valuable for many medicinal applications. For recreational I use coconut oil. It goes straight to the liver and is converted to 11-hydroxy THC, always more psychoactive than delta-9 THC and longer lasting.

Coconut oil doesn't really need to be refrigerated. It'll go solid at room temps below 76 degrees F, so I just set it out on the counter until it goes solid.

Then I set it into a hot water bath until it goes liquid again. I might repeat this a few times, if I'm busy. The more often I do this the more dispersed the cannabinoids are. With rec brownies I'm not all that concerned.

Generally I put it through one cycle of liquid to solid and back to liquid, then I set it to the side and get my brownie ingredients out.

I'm partial to the Duncan Heinz Milk Chocolate or Fudge brownie mixes, but use whatever mix makes you happy.

I cut them into 16 pieces and have two a day, most days, one for breakfast and one later in the afternoon. This batch will be ready to cut in a few minutes and I'll be making an exception for a late evening dose.

8 grams of bud
1/2 cup coconut oil

Instant Pot or pressure cooker available. You want temps at around 230-240, so check your manuals.

* grind bud and remove larger stem material
* mix oil and bud in small bowl, cover, and place in Instant Pot
* cook for 110 minutes on high pressure
* let cool down naturally
* add 1 tablespoon of liquid sunflower lecithin
* let go solid, bring back to liquid form
* Make brownies following the recipe on the box, using the brownie oil as the oil portion. Use all of this oil, regardless of what the recipe calls for. Some call for 1/3 cup. Use the 1/2 cup and don't worry about it. It'll work.
