It depends what you are making. Something sweet can be baked without shortening by using cooking oil like canola or butter. Something savory you can use olive oil or butter as well, it really depends on what you are cooking.

∙ 11y agoButter or margarine is a good substitute for Crisco. I've done the substitution and found that it works just as well and can have better flavor. You can also use almost equal parts of vegetable oil, but you will be required to reduce the liquid in your recipe to make up the difference.
