Cooking & Extraction

The Cooking & Extraction category in a head shop features a range of products designed for those interested in creating their own cannabis-infused edibles, concentrates, and oils. These products cater to both home cooks and experienced extractors, offering the tools needed to safely and efficiently extract cannabinoids like THC and CBD, as well as to infuse them into food or other products. Here’s a look at what this category typically includes:

Cooking Tools & Ingredients

• Cannabis-Infused Butter or Oil Kits: These kits often come with everything you need to make your own cannabis butter or oil at home. They typically include a decarboxylation unit, a strainer, and instructions to ensure you achieve the right potency.
• Infusion Machines: Devices like the LEVO or MagicalButter machine simplify the process of infusing herbs into oils, butter, or tinctures. They allow for precise temperature control and help to preserve the flavors and potency of the cannabis.
• Decarboxylation Ovens: Decarboxylation is a crucial step in cannabis edibles preparation, where raw cannabis is heated to activate its THC or CBD. These ovens are designed to gently heat cannabis to the right temperature for optimal potency.
• Edible Mixes & Supplies: This includes pre-made mixes for brownies, cookies, or gummies, as well as other ingredients like emulsifiers, syrups, and flavorings that are ideal for cooking with cannabis.

Extraction Tools

• Rosin Presses: These devices use heat and pressure to extract concentrates from cannabis without the use of solvents. They’re popular for making rosin, a clean, solvent-free concentrate.
• Solvent Extraction Kits: For those who want to create their own concentrates using solvents like butane or ethanol, these kits typically include the necessary equipment for safe extraction, such as extraction tubes and filters.
• Concentrate Containers & Tools: This includes silicone containers for storing concentrates and tools like dabbers, scraping tools, and glass vials, which help users handle and store their extracted products.

Tincture & Oil Extraction

• Tincture Kits: These kits contain everything needed to create cannabis tinctures, which are alcohol-based extracts of cannabinoids that can be taken sublingually (under the tongue). They often include dropper bottles, strainers, and instructions for safe and effective extraction.
• Vape Pen Refilling Kits: For users who want to refill their vape pens with cannabis oils, these kits include syringes, cartridges, and other accessories for the extraction and storage of vape liquids.

Other Extraction Accessories

• Grinders & Sifters: Tools that break down cannabis into smaller particles for better extraction. Some specialized grinders feature kief catchers that separate the potent resin from the plant material for use in concentrates.
• Hydrocarbon Extracting Equipment: This includes tools for users interested in advanced extraction methods using hydrocarbons like butane or propane, although these methods require caution and knowledge.

Products in the Cooking & Extraction category are essential for users who enjoy making their own cannabis products or want to explore concentrate-making at home. They empower consumers to control the potency, flavor, and quality of their edibles and concentrates, offering a fun and creative way to enjoy cannabis.
