Operating Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the desired decarboxylation temperature. It is recommended to perform a test run to understand your oven's actual temperature variations.
- Place Edibox in Oven: Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the sealed Edibox with the inserted thermometer probe inside. Position the thermometer display outside the oven for easy monitoring.
- Monitor Temperature: Continuously monitor the internal temperature displayed on the thermometer. Adjust your oven's temperature as needed to maintain the target temperature for the recommended duration.
- Decarboxylation Time: The duration of decarboxylation depends on the type and desired activation level of your herbs. Refer to specific recipes or guidelines for optimal timeframes. The Edibox helps ensure the internal temperature remains stable for effective activation.
- Cool Down: Once the decarboxylation process is complete, carefully remove the Edibox from the oven using oven mitts. Allow the box and its contents to cool down completely before opening.
- Remove Herbs: Once cooled, open the lid and carefully remove the activated herbs.
The precision thermometer ensures accurate temperature monitoring inside the Edibox, protecting your herbs from overheating and maximizing their activation.
The interlocking lid of the Edibox is designed to seal in odors, allowing for discreet decarboxylation without disturbing others.
