Directions

Properly Calibrating Your Oven with the DecarBox

1. Attach the probe to your thermometer. You should feel two clicks when connected. Place the probe inside your oven, hanging through the middle of the rack. Make sure the metal probe doesn't touch the metal of the rack as this will skew the reading. Shut the oven, then attach the magnetic thermometer your oven door.

2. Preheat the oven to whatever temperature will activate your desired compound (see chart below for help).

3. Once the oven signals that it has finished preheating, take a temperature reading. This will tell you if the oven actually reached the desired temperature you had set. 

4. If the actual temperature reading on the thermometer differs from your oven setting, then raise or lower the setting by that amount to compensate when decarbing. 

   For example, if your setting is 250°F but the thermometer reads 270°F, then your oven runs hot. You would then compensate by lowering your setting 20 degrees, to 230°F, thus making the actual temperature 250°F.

Decarboxylation

1. NOTE: Guide is for T-C, see chart below for other c-nnabinoid temperatures.

2. Preheat oven to 250°F. Wait until oven is fully preheated before proceeding. Do NOT exceed recommended temperature.

3. If using flowers or buds, break up into smaller pieces with your hands to ensure even heating. Add it to your DecarBox. For other forms of "herb", place directly inside the DecarBox or oven safe baking dish. 

4. TIP: Place the probe in the top of the DecarBox to monitor the temperature as it decarboxylates and get precise measurements.

5. Bake for 30 minutes on center oven rack. 

6. When time is up, remove the DecarBox from oven. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. This step is believed to help preserve certain beneficial phytonutrients. Your sample is now ready for any cycle in your MagicalButter botanical extractor.
