CBD Recipes for Cooking with CBD Oil

Why Cook with CBD Oil?

The wellness benefits of CBD are becoming more mainstream—and what better way to enjoy them than through your favorite meals? CBD oil isn't just for tinctures or vapes anymore. Whether you're a seasoned chef or an experimental home cook, adding CBD to your dishes is a fun, flavorful, and functional way to incorporate hemp into your lifestyle.

Cooking with CBD oil lets you customize dosages, explore new flavor infusions, and share your favorite cannabinoid with family and friends in edible form. Let’s dive into how it works and discover three crowd-pleasing recipes you can start with today.

Understanding CBD in the Kitchen

What is CBD Oil?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid derived from the hemp plant. Unlike THC, it won’t get you high—making it ideal for daily use. CBD oil is created by extracting CBD using methods like CO2 or ethanol extraction, then diluting it with a carrier oil such as MCT or hemp seed oil for better absorption and dosing control.

At Steve’s Goods, our CBD oil is lab-tested, Colorado-grown, and available in a variety of concentrations for every experience level.

Is CBD Oil Legal?

Yes—CBD oil derived from hemp and containing less than 0.3% THC is legal across all 50 states. Some full-spectrum products may contain trace amounts of THC, so always check your product’s COA (Certificate of Analysis) to confirm compliance with local laws.

How to Cook with CBD Oil

Best Practices for CBD Cooking

  • Stick to Low Heat: Excess heat (above 320°F) can degrade cannabinoids. Bake low and slow when possible.

  • Even Distribution: Mix your CBD oil thoroughly into your dish to ensure consistent dosing.

  • Start Small: Especially if cooking for others. Begin with 10–20 mg per serving and scale from there based on personal needs.

  • Mind Your Carrier Oil: CBD oils come in MCT, hemp seed, or olive oil bases—all of which impact flavor and recipe performance differently.

Does Cooking Affect CBD?

CBD retains its benefits when properly cooked but may lose potency if exposed to high heat for extended periods. To avoid degradation, bake under 320°F or mix into dishes after cooking, like salad dressings or smoothies.

CBD-Infused Recipes for Any Occasion

All recipes below use 4mL of our 2000mg Steve’s Goods CBD Oil, which equals approximately 80mg of CBD total—or 8mg per serving for 10 portions. Adjust your dosage as needed based on your personal needs and oil concentration.
