Continue reading for the best gifts for cannabis foodies on the web, whether you’re shopping for an amateur baker or professional cook.
Now is the perfect time to embrace your inner cannabis chef. There are more cannabis cooking gadgets available than ever before—from cannabis leaf oven mitts to electric decarbing machines. Hoping to spoil the cannabis foodie in your life? We’ve curated the perfect list for you.
Let’s be honest, cooking with cannabis can be tricky.
The NOVA Decarboxylator & Infuser is the luxury kitchen gadget that you never knew you were missing. The NOVA is a compact appliance that makes decarboxylating dried bud (or fresh bud, kief, concentrates, shatter, hash and more) as straightforward as the press of a button.
Before you can bake with cannabis flower, you need to decarboxylate it. Decarboxylation converts cannabis compounds like THC and CBD into their active form, which is what allows you to feel a euphoric “high.”
Normally, cannabis chefs do this in an oven. But, the oven method leaves you at risk of burning your material and makes decarbing with precision and accuracy difficult if not impossible.
Enter: the NOVA.
The NOVA simplifies the decarboxylation process exponentially. It eliminates the risk of burning your material and ensures a precise and full decarb, every time. Internal sensors and a perfected temperature algorithm take the risk out of the decarboxylation process to give you the full benefit of your material. So, you can use way less cannabis to make your favorite treats.
Top tip: the handy gadget doubles as an infuser, allowing you to quickly infuse oils, butter, vegetable glycerine, honey, and more—a true must-have for anyone who makes edibles on the regular.
Price: $210 to $220
Who needs ice when there’s no burn? Blue Q Oven Mitts are the pride of novelty stores and eclectic kitchens alike.
