Baking with CBD    image of cooking supplies

When baking with CBD it’s always good to remember that it’s about the internal temperature of what you’re baking and not the temperature of the oven. As mentioned above CBD begins to degrade at 392 degrees Fahrenheit. This should not be a major concern when baking because most baked good are moist. Therefore your food should not exceed the degrade temperature of CBD, unless of course you walk away and forget you’re baking. (Burnt cookies anyone?)  When in doubt use a cooking thermometer.

Frying with CBD 

Don’t do it!  You’ll lose a large amount of CBD because of the high temperatures frying requires.

When mixing CBD with with beverages remember that CBD does NOT naturally dissolve in water. However, it is fat soluble. Milkshakes and smoothies are good drinks for experimentation. CBD coffee is becoming widely popular, but because coffee is water based it is best to add creamer or milk before adding CBD.
