Why has no one thought of this???

What's the best thing on the planet?

Bud, precious bud!

OK, what's the SECOND best thing on the planet?

OK, coffee. Other than coffee. No, we're not counting chocolate either. If we're not counting chocolate and we're not counting coffee, then the second best thing in the world is .....

BACON! Just ask that little dog in the Bacon Bits commercial!

So why oh why has no one ever made bacon grease ABV? Think of all the wonderfulness! Hash browns. Home fries. Potato soup. Yeah, potato stuff. Because the THIRD best thing in the world is anything made with potatoes that were cooked in bacon grease.

So obviously the best thing in the world would be potato-foods cooked in THC bacon grease!

Just the other day I shared this in a MM group I haunt...

Fry up some bacon. Turn off heat and add hash to your leftover fat/grease. Mix into hamburger meat until homogeneous. Cook said hamburgers and top with the bacon and some chunky tomato. Enjoy!

Here's what I'm thinking ... water cure my ABV. I have like an ounce of it by now.

That will reduce it almost by half. Just thinking of all the nasty stuff the water cure pulls out is a little scary, LOL!

People seem to eat water-cured ABV without further processing. I think they call it making "firecrackers", which basically seems like its a peanut-butter version of S'mores. Heck, I think some people do this with ABV that hasn't even been water-cured yet, blech!

So... I'm thinkin' ... I take the water-cured ABV, lightly fry it in some bacon grease, remove the ABV (a lot of grease will go with it) - cook my hashbrowns in the remaining hopefully somewhat THC infused bacon grease, and then top with the (warmed if necessary) bacon-flavored water-cured ABV and cheese .... That's got to be at least as potent as any firecracker.

Of course first I'd have to do the water cure. I guess I'd better warn my son ... I'm told the odor the first day or so is pretty horrific ...

You can sprinkle AbV (ground fine like flour) on bacon then fry it up. I saw it online. I wonder if the ABV would stay on the bacon though.

if you're scared of that which a water cure extracts, then I'd avoid eating all fruit, veg, meat, grains & pulses

Yeah, I don't vape any of those and then try to make butter out of what's left.

If I did, then I would certainly want a process to take the nasty half-burned and inedible stuff out. For some of us, water curing is the difference between eating your medibles - and throwing them up. LOL!

Hmm, I could just use my already infused coconut oil to fry bacon in...right???

Would any actual actives make it to my system???

Or would it all be fried off in the heat it takes to cook bacon.???

you'd need to drink the fat

Put some of your infused cocobudder in a pot and make popcorn

I have a MUCH better idea, and that is to cook home fries or hash browns or nearly anything else in the infused bacon grease, and then EAT IT ALL!!!!!

But I have since read that temps high enough to brown the potatoes may damage the THC.

Keeping in mind this is just what people SAY, there is no actual evidence that this happens. Some people do things that other people swear won't work because it's "impossible", yet it works.

Frankly we have very few evidence-based procedures for handling our meds. And by "evidence" I mean actual peer-reviewed studies. WELL-DESIGNED peer-reviewed studies. Not anecdotal evidence, which is by and large all we have to go on.

At any rate I'm game to try the seasoning-with-water-cured-ABV-that-has-been-lightly-sauted-in-bacon grease thing and see what that does for my bacon-greased taters.

Instead of water curing put water in with your butter. Then put it in the fridge and pull it out in a solid chunk, and discard the stinky water.

 

[thevapedcrusader]

Id avoid frying anything in it if you want it to be potent..the high heat of frying/roasting will probably "burn up " most of the goodness left in your already depleted abv...

Yeah - thing is - I don't WANT to make butter. But thanks.

High heat also makes things carcinogenic, Meats breads potatoes cannabis anything you do just avoid high heat.

Oh please. I'm not a crunchy. I want my potatoes fried up right crispy and drippin' with bacon grease, and that is the way I WILL have them.

Sheesh!

Sounds like you already have things figured out.

Let us know how your experiment works.

 

[Zoned89]

so i have something to add to this super old thread (im new so im lurking sorry guys)

bacon grease can be used to cook stovetop popcorn, and even though some goodness would probably be lost in the heating, the possibility of bacon potcorn is real

Yeah I just read this and it's like a TV show that was cancelled; What was the outcome?!?!?

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Sounds disgusting

I know ! I was thinking that. My guess is if it worked, we would have heard about it.

I saute lots of different things with ABV quite often. I have a peppercorn grinder that I keep full and use whenever. I do water cure it first though, takes the stink out of it.
