I've only ever made cannabutter with water in the pan too, way more water than butter. The boiling water keeps the whole shebang at around 100C, so you can do it for hours (topping up the water) with no risk of burning the milk solids in the butter or... burning your face off.
I don't know if the reduced temp reduces the potency, but I always got ripped on it and there's way less chance of messing it up.
THC isn't terribly soluble in water, so I don't figure you lose a lot of product, either.
Pour into bowl, put in freezer, butter solidifies on top of water, pull out and store. You'd have to decant the oil off the top if you did oil instead.
I can't understand why RP would want brownies and not butter unless he or she is vegan or something.

My "salad dressing incident" happened over 10 years ago, during my 2nd year of college. I had only started smoking weed a year earlier, and had not yet heard of all of the various methods of dissolving THC into fatty foods. I haven't tried your water method yet, but I think the next time I make edibles I plan on using the crock pot tek. It seems like a fool proof method that requires minimal effort. Just throw the herb in a crock pot with whatever oil, butter, or lard, and then let it cook overnight on low!
-------------------- The fire has many things to teach. But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism
