Is hydrogenated lard trans fat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, lard is not inherently trans fat. Trans fat generally refers to hydrogenated fats developed by man-made processes to keep foodstuffs moist and tender through abnormal temperatures. Fried, processed, and some baked goods contain hydrogenated (trans) fat. Though trans fat do occur naturally in some degree (such as in dairy), the anti-trans fat push is for heavily manufactured foods.

Asked by Wiki User

In baking you can use shortening, in an equal amount. Some folks don't like this texture of pie crusts without lard, but shortening is a bit healthier.

It really depends on what you are using it for. I use the following rule of thumb I got from a cooking show (sorry I can't remember which)

* Equal amount of vegetable shortening * 25 percent more butter or margarine (for baking) * Equal amount vegetable oil (for frying)
