How to Cook With CBD

This guide explains the best practices for cooking with CBD oil and CBD isolate

CBD edibles are supposed to help you relax, so why should making them stress you out? Creating your own CBD oil can be a nightmare, between the lengthy process of decarboxylating hemp flower and the complicated steps involved in simmering your own CBD tincture. There’s an easier, better way to make CBD edibles and CBD drinks: just use Crescent Canna’s CBD Drops and CBD Isolate. Follow these tips on cooking with both CBD products to make flawless and fun CBD-infused dishes.

Cooking With CBD Isolate

CBD Isolate Powder is incredibly versatile. Since it’s tasteless and odorless, it imparts no flavor or smell on your food. Because of this, you can easily mix it into all kinds of dishes and beverages to infuse them with CBD. To use CBD isolate in cooking you do need to procure certain tools to measure it. You can use gram measuring spoons or a scale to measure out accurate doses of CBD isolate. Once you’ve measured it out, simply add it to your dish of choice and thoroughly mix it in so it’s evenly dispersed throughout. It’s that simple!

Cooking With CBD Oil

You don’t need anything more than a bottle of Crescent Canna CBD Drops to cook with our CBD oil. Each bottle comes with a dropper that displays accurate dosage measurements, so dosing edibles and drinks is simplicity itself. You can drop our CBD oil right into food or drinks. Try matching the flavors of our CBD Drops with the flavors of the dish or beverage that you’re preparing. Our THC-free CBD Drops come in these flavors:

• Strawberry
• Peppermint
• Mandarin Lime
• Unflavored

Our Full-Spectrum CBD Drops come in these flavors:

How to Cook With CBD

When cooking with CBD, keep in mind the maximum temperature that it can reach before starting to lose potency. CBD begins to evaporate at temperatures between 320°F and 356°F, so avoid recipes with temperatures higher than or around 350°F. Crafting no-bake confections is a great way to avoid overheating CBD and depleting its potency. You can also cook dishes that include a topping or dressing CBD isolate can be mixed into and drizzled over food once it is out of the oven or off the stovetop. It’s also a good idea to make recipes that include some kind of fat. CBD is fat-soluble, so your body absorbs it better when it’s surrounded by fats. Whether you’re using CBD isolate or a CBD tincture, make sure that the CBD is evenly distributed in the food or drink you prepare. This will ensure that everyone eating or drinking your concoction will get the same dose of CBD.
