You can't really sub the two items. The texture would be way off.
If you really had to do it, melt the shortening and measure out 13 cups of liquid.
The same amount.
Use the same amount of butter as you would shortening. In bread, a tablespoon of butter can be used instead of a tablespoon of shortening. The same amount of canola oil is even healthier.
For most cookies you can't use oil in place of shortening.
it depends what the oil is being used for.
No, vegetable shortening as we know it today was not available in ancient Egypt. The concept of vegetable shortening, which is typically made from hydrogenated vegetable oils, was developed much later, in the 19th and 20th centuries. In ancient Egypt, people primarily used animal fats, such as lard, and oils from olives and sesame seeds for cooking and baking.
It would be the exact same color as Lard (vegetable shortening): White.
Melt the butter & measure the amount it needs. If it needs 2/3 cup oil, use that much melted butter.
about 2.00$
Well, honey, there are about 4.4 cups of vegetable shortening in one kilogram. So, if you're baking up a storm and need to convert those measurements, now you know. Just don't blame me if you end up with too much grease in your cake!
Definitely. Much better for you, too.
Yeah you can. Because you can replace oils for oils and fats for fats, and shortening is both, you can use butter as it is a fat. But since butter has about 15% water, you would have to use a tiny bit less butter or a tiny bit more of dry ingredients. :)
To substitute butter for shortening, you can use a 1:1 ratio, but since butter contains about 20% water, it's often recommended to use slightly more butter to achieve a similar texture. For a quarter cup of shortening, you would typically use about 1/3 cup of butter. This adjustment helps compensate for the moisture content in butter.
