MagicalButter Machine

The MagicalButter MB2e is a countertop botanical extractor that infuses healthy herbs into butter, oil, tincture, lotion, and concentrate. It combines a stainless-steel pitcher, an immersion blender, a programmable thermostat, a heating element, and a digital timer in one appliance so the grind-heat-stir-steep cycle runs without manual monitoring.

MagicalButter MB2e Specifications

The MB2e ships with a Magical Glove, a Purify Micron Filter 190, the Magical Cookbook, an owner’s manual, and a 110V power cord. The pitcher and lid are stainless steel; the integrated immersion blender shaft sits inside the pitcher and is controlled by the program selector on the front of the unit.

Why Choose the MB2e

The MB2e is built for people who run the same infusion repeatedly and want a result that doesn’t depend on stirring the pot or watching a thermometer. A few things it does that a stovetop and a crockpot do not:

• Programmed cycles, not freehand cooking. Select Butter, Oil, Tincture, Lotion, or Concentrate, press start, walk away. The unit grinds, heats, stirs, and steeps at the right intervals for that infusion.
• Stable temperature. A crockpot drifts as the lid is removed; a stovetop spikes and dips. The thermostat in the MB2e holds the program’s target band, which is the variable that most affects extraction quality.
• Blending and heating in one vessel. The immersion blender pulses inside the heated pitcher, so plant material is broken down without transferring hot oil or butter to a separate jar.
• Stainless steel pitcher. Easier to clean than plastic, and it does not retain butter or oil odors between batches.
• Repeatable batches. Same input weight + same program = same finished product. That matters when a recipe needs consistent dosing.

Best Uses for the MB2e

Each program is a different infusion category. The five most common workflows:

• Herb-infused butter. The flagship use case. Decarbed flower or other herbs combined with butter run on the Butter program for roughly two hours; the result is cooking-ready infused butter.
• Infused cooking oils. Olive, coconut, MCT, and avocado oils all work on the Oil program. The infused oil can then be used in dressings, baking, or capsule filling.
• Tinctures. High-proof alcohol plus herb on the Tincture program gives a ready-to-dose tincture once strained.
• Topical lotions. Shea butter, beeswax, or coconut oil with herb on the Lotion program produces an infused base for body-care preparations.
• Concentrate finishing. Some users use the Concentrate program as the final step in a longer extraction workflow.

Storage matters once a batch is finished — infused butter and oil keep best in the fridge or freezer, and dry herb destined for future infusions stays freshest in an airtight, light-blocking container like the CVault stainless storage container.

MB2e vs LEVO II

The LEVO II from LEVO Oil is the most common direct comparison shoppers ask about. Both are countertop infusion appliances, but they take different design approaches:

Short version: the LEVO II has built-in decarboxylation and is aimed at smaller, precision batches. The MB2e is aimed at larger batches with integrated blending and a stainless-steel build. Pick the MB2e if batch size and one-touch operation matter more than a built-in decarb cycle.

Compatibility & Operating Range

The MB2e is a standard countertop kitchen appliance and needs only a free outlet and a small amount of counter space. Practical operating notes:

• Power: 110V AC, NEMA 5-15 plug. North American outlet; do not use on 220V circuits without a conversion appliance.
• Footprint: roughly 12 in × 12 in on the counter with 16+ in of vertical clearance for the lid.
• Cleaning: the lid components rinse in warm soapy water; the pitcher hand-washes. The Magical Glove protects against the hot pitcher exterior between batches.
• Filtration: the included Purify Micron Filter 190 catches the fine plant solids when straining; the MagicalButter LoveGlove makes handling the hot pitcher safer.
• Decarboxylation: the MB2e does not decarboxylate dry herb. Decarb separately in an oven (about 240°F for 30-40 minutes for cannabis) before adding to the machine.
• Pairs well with home-grown herbs. If the input flower comes from a personal grow rather than a dispensary, a tent like the 48x48x78 Grow Shop Outlet grow tent handles the cultivation side and the MB2e handles the kitchen side.
• Stock note: currently out of stock at the supplier — check availability with Premier Hydro before timing a planned project.

Usage Guidelines

A typical infused-butter cycle looks like this. Adjust ratios per the included Magical Cookbook for other infusions.

1. Decarboxylate dry herb in an oven at about 240°F for 30-40 minutes (for cannabis). Skip this step for non-decarb botanicals such as lavender or rosemary.
2. Combine ingredients in the pitcher. A common starting ratio is 1 oz herb per 1 cup butter (or oil). Weigh herb dry, after decarb.
3. Optional: add lecithin as an emulsifier — about 1 teaspoon per cup of butter, which improves binding in baked goods.
4. Lock the lid and select the program. Butter, Oil, Tincture, Lotion, or Concentrate. The unit selects time and temperature based on the program.
5. Run the cycle. Walk away. The MB2e holds temperature and runs the blender at intervals automatically.
6. Strain when complete through the included Purify Micron Filter 190 or cheesecloth. Press the spent plant material to recover residual oil or butter.
7. Cool and store. Refrigerate butter or oil; tinctures keep at room temperature in a dark glass bottle.

How to Set Up the MB2e

First-time setup takes about 10-15 minutes including a cleaning cycle:

1. Unbox the MB2e. Remove the Magical Glove, Purify Micron Filter 190, cookbook, and power cord from inside the pitcher.
2. Inspect the unit. Confirm the immersion blender shaft is seated, the lid gasket is intact, and the power cord shows no damage.
3. Run a cleaning cycle. Fill the pitcher with 4 cups warm water and a tablespoon of mild dish soap, lock the lid, select Clean, and run.
4. Rinse and dry. Rinse the pitcher with fresh water after the cleaning cycle. Wipe the interior dry.
5. Test the program buttons. Press each program button; the corresponding LED should light to confirm the control panel is responsive.
6. First infusion. Load ingredients per a recipe from the Magical Cookbook, select the matching program, and run.
7. Cool between back-to-back batches. Give the heating element a few minutes to release thermal load before starting a new cycle.
