if a peanut butter recipe call for vegetable oil 1/3 cup and I only have 1/4 cup can I melt crisco shortening and add to the vegetable oil.
Yes, melted and cooled Crisco can be used in place of vegetable oil.
On their labels the original Wesson and Crisco oils are labeled as vegetable oil. If a recipe calls for a salad oil they were referring to any of the vegetable oils. corn, sunflower oil etc. Most of the oils labeled as vegetable oil including Wesson or Crisco oil are made from soybean oil. The original Wesson oil was made from cottonseed oil. All these oils can also be referred to as salad oil.

Yes, you can melt shortening and use in a cake recipe. It will change the texture and possibly add heaviness to the cake, but it will still be good.
Crisco was formally introduced in June 1911 as crystallized cottonseed oil. They wanted the name of the company to be "Cryst" but due to religious views the company name was changed to Crisco. It was not until 1960 when the company Crisco first introduced vegetable oil to the world.

Crisco lists it's ingredients as hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oils, mono- and diglycerides.Check out the wiki site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisco for the whole story on how it was first invented by proctor and gamble as a cheaper substitute to animal fats for making candles. It was the first all vegetable oil shortening but it was intended for making candles. When electricity became widely available the demand for candles was reduced and that's when they decided to sell it as shortening... to eat.
