I have been collecting 73 micron for smoking, but all the other grades I have been saving for cooking.
It is still frozen in a little bit of water in the freezer(straight from the wet bubble bags to the freezer). What I have been doing, is taking some out, and grating it using cheese grater on to cardboard, and letting it dry for three or four days, then weighing it, and then cooking it in a crockpot for 12 hours in olive oil. I put a meat thermometer in there so it beeps at me when it gets to 150C so that I can come stir it, or turn it off for a while to reduce the heat, so it doesn’t go above 165C(i have been under the impression that I should not cook above that.) I think if leave it alone and don’t stir it, the temperature gets to 175C in my crockpot on the low setting.
Should I really be doing this, or should I not care about it getting to 175C, and just let it be at 175C?
I’m about to start cooking in coconut MCT fat, but I have so much of this frozen cooking hash, that my fingers start to freeze, and it is a ton of work to grate all this onto the cardboard.
Is it effective to just throw the bubble hash that is in water in the freezer, straight into the coconut MCT in the crockpot, and then separate the oil from the little bit of water later after I am finished cooking? Or will the hash not be broken up enough to have a good surface area?
I was thinking to save time and energy, I’d just throw it all in the crockpot with the coconut fat, and start smashing it vigorously with a lot with a potato smasher or a wisp on the bottom thoroughly, then separate any water after it cools, and the fat congeals. There must be a better way than what I have been doing… Thanks for your time.
