If you have to grease a pan with shortening can you just use vegetable spray?
Yes, I do it all the time!
Can you replace shortening with vegetable oil in oatmeal cookie recipe?
Vegetable oil and butter are two types of shortening. All fats and oils are shortening, and can be substituted for each other, but this will affect the flavour and texture of the food, as some shortenings have stronger and different flavours, and also have different melting points.
Is bisquick ok to use instead of all purpose flour?
Not really. Bisquick has shortening and baking powder already in it.
Is vegetable shortening and shortening the same?
Not all shortening is oil, but all oil (consumable oil, that is) is shortening. Shortening is another word for fat used in cooking, especially baking. The most common shortenings are butter and margarine and, to a lesser degree, Crisco. Other oils can be used, too. (And some low-fat recipes substitute apple sauce or prune butter for traditional fat-based shortenings.)
Which is best for you lard or shortening?
Recent studies suggest that lard is actually better for health than shortening. Shortening consists primarily of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which has proven to be very unhealthy for the human body.
Are there any health risk by using old shortening?
The only health risk to using "old" shortening, is the health risks you assume by using shortening at all. Shortening (usually vegetable shortening [hydrogenated oils/ transfats], lard or clarified butter) is usually processed so that it has a very long shelf life[years] and is no different at the end of the shelflife than at the beginning. Shortening lasts a very long time, as long as it doesn't get contaminated.
Can you use flour instead of bisquick?
I often use flour (all purpose) in recipes calling for bisquick. I just add a little bit of baking powder and a tiny bit of salt.
Is solid shortening the same as liquid shortening?
Not at all. Animal-based shortenings are all solid at room temperature, but vegetable shortenings can be either. Solid and liquid also behave differently depending upon the application and the working temperature. Generally speaking, solid shortenings are used to create 'flakes' inside doughs or batters.

Can margerine be used in place of shortening in a cookie recipe?
Of course you can make cookies with margarine instead of shortening, I do it with all my cookies. When you use margarine you don't need to grease your baking pans, and I think the cookies come out more tasty.
What can be substituted for one cup shortening in a recipe?
It really depends on what you are cooking/baking, but often you can substitute a cup of butter for the shortening. Don't use margarine though, because it has some water content and would possibly affect the results. You could also try half butter and half lard, which should work well, also.
What is white shortening?
White shortening is just another term for plain shortening. It's used to distinguish from butter-flavored shortening. If you're not from the US or Canada and don't know what shortening is at all, it's made from partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil and is used as a substitute for lard and butter in recipes and as an oil for deep-frying. It has no flavor of its own and is there strictly to make the dough or short. Substituting butter or lard can be difficult because shortening has some air whipped into it, but for recipes like drop cookies where you can afford to play fast and loose with the measurements a one-to-one substitution of butter often works (and works better than shortening, sometimes).
