How To Decarboxylate Your Botanicals

Decarboxylation is only for specific, rare blossoms and herbs.
Do not use with common, commercially available culinary herbs, fruits, and flowers, as it will remove their moisture and flavor.

How to:

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F/120ºC.
2. Place your botanicals into a roasting bag or covered baking dish.
3. Bake on the center oven rack for 30 minutes.
4. When time is up, remove the sample from the oven, and let it cool completely; to speed up the process, place it in the freezer. This step is critical for preserving certain phytonutrients.
5. Once your botanicals are completely cooled, you are ready to run any desired cycle in your MagicalButter machine.

Directions for Car-Wash Clean Function
What is car-wash clean?
Might need a quick rinse and towel dry.

1. Rinse pitcher and blades.Do not wet or immerse any electrical or black plastic parts.
2. Fill halfway between MIN and MAX lines with water.
3. Add dish soap roughly the size of a coin.
4. Secure lid, and press Clean button. For best results, clean immediately after use.

MagicalButter

Skill level: Easy
Cycle time: 2 hours
Yield: Approximately 2-5 cups/475-1180 ml

Ingredients:

• ¼-½ ounce/7-14 g botanicals per cup/240 ml*
• 2-5 cups/475-1180 ml unsalted butter, softened; for best results, clarified**
• 1 tablespoon/15 ml lecithin per cup/240 ml***

Do not use margarine or water
2 cups minimum to 5 cups maximum ingredient capacity

How to:

1. Place the ingredients into your MagicalButter machine, and secure the head.*
2. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C; then press the 2 Hours/Butter button.
3. After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance. Put on your LoveGlove™, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through your PurifyFilter™ into formed molds or other storage container.

Chef's Notes:
*For best results do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to your personal preference.

** For optimal extractions and maximum potency, based on extensive kitchen trials, our chef now recommends clarifying your butter before adding it to the pitcher. To clarify, gently melt and simmer the butter, discard the milk solids and surface foam, and retain the clear golden liquified butterfat. To clarify further, you can skip clarifying and simply use melted or softened butter. Do not use cold, firm butter.

Lecithin
*** Sunflower, rice, or soy lecithin is optional but highly recommended. Lecithin is an emulsifier used in cooking and in the pharmaceutical industry for binding ingredients in lipids (butter, oils, and fats). It helps to increase the bioavailability of plant compounds in your high-lipid infusions, intensifying the potency of the resulting extracts. Lecithin is available at your local health-food or vitamin store in the form of granules, powder, or liquid. Avoid capsules; they contain too many binders and fillers. If you use liquid, use only 1 teaspoon/5 ml per cup/240 ml.

MagicalButterOil Concentrate

(How to Reduce Alcohol Tincture to MBO - No MB Machine Required)
DO NOT REDUCE OIL OR GLYCERIN TINCTURE - RECIPE USES
ALCOHOL TINCTURE ONLY

Skill level: Moderate
Cook time: Approximately 30 minutes per cup
Yield: Approximately 1-2 teaspoons per cup/5-10 ml per 240 ml

Reducing herbal tincture to MBO is possible only with specific, rare blossoms and herbs. Do not use with common, commercially available culinary herbs, fruits, and flowers.

MATERIALS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Could cause injury. Never use an open flame, natural gas or propane burner, or permit smoking around the cooking process.

Ingredient:
1-5 cups/240-1180 ml MagicalButter Tincture

How to:

1. Transfer your tincture into a non-stick saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan on an electrical or induction plate on low heat, and bring it to a slow boil. Continue simmering for approximately 30 minutes per cup/240 ml. Continually stir oil from sides to bottom of the saucepan. When the consistency reaches that of warm maple syrup, you have produced MBO.
3. Remove your MagicalButterOil Concentrate from heat, and allow it to cool 1 minute before pouring it into a dark glass container.

Chef's Notes:

• Patience is essential—cooking time may vary based on variety of factors.
• MBO will be very sticky. Use clean, non-stick silicone utensils.

Troubleshooting Guide

Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the LED lights, and what do they tell me?
Aside from providing ambiance and a colorful light show in your kitchen, the integrated LED display encircling the top of your MagicalButter appliance has an important functional purpose: informing you of the machine's operating status.

The lights are strategically positioned to reflect off the ceiling during operation. As the device is exceptionally quiet when not blending or stirring, the LED display constantly and silently indicates that the cooking cycle is proceeding. The lights automatically shut off, and the unit beeps, to notify you when the cycle is completed.

What does each button do?
Each button runs a preset, microprocessor-controlled cycle: grinding, heating, extracting, and stirring. To intensify your results, simply extend your extraction time by selecting a longer cycle. The standard cycle time for oil is 1 hour, for butter 2 hours, and for tincture 4 or 8 hours. The Clean function has a run time of about 3 minutes.

How do I use the self-cleaning function?
First, unplug the electrical cord from the machine. Then fill the pitcher with water to a level halfway between the MIN and MAX lines. Add dish soap about the size of a coin. Secure the head, plug the power cord back in, and press the Clean button. After the cycle has completed, disconnect the cord from the appliance, and carefully rinse the remaining soap from the interior of the pitcher.

NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE, WET, OR WASH WITH WATER ANY BLACK-COLORED PARTS OF THE MACHINE. USE DAMP CLOTH ONLY.

How do I clean the PurifyFilter™?
Remove all debris from the filter. Rinse it thoroughly, flip it inside out, and rinse again. Fill a bowl with hot water and some dish soap, and soak the filter for about 10-15 minutes. Give it a final rinse, and drip dry in your dish rack. DO NOT wash the PurifyFilter™ in the dishwasher or washing machine.
