Cannabis Cooking Classes with Cannabis Chef Roilty
The Stoner Mom February 6, 2020
Instructing us for the duration of our three-hour class is Jarod Farina, AKA Chef Roilty. Jarod is an award-winning cannabis chef who specializes in micro-dosing. Using light infusions throughout an entire meal, Chef Jarod is able to create culinary masterpieces while hiding the distinctive taste of cannabis.
No matter if you use flower or concentrates, your material must first be activated before you can properly infuse. This is process is called decarboxylating, or decarbing for short. Raw cannabis and unheated concentrates contain THCA, the non-psychoactive precursor to THC. In order for our edibles to “work” (get us stoned), THCA needs to be converted to THC. This happens when we combust, vaporize, or even heat up our cannabis. Chef Roilty decarbed our concentrates by putting it in the oven for around twenty minutes at 220° F.
