Just melt your shortening until you have one cup. Let it cool before using. It's the same thing.
"A pint's a pound, the world around." Water, fat oil, for any practical purpose weigh the same.
1 cup (8 oz) of shortening = 1 Stick of butter = 1 cup of oil
7/8 cup of vegetable oil or lard can be substituted for a cup of butter. If it's salted butter, you can add a half teaspoon of salt.
Butter is one type of shortening. Use a cup of butter.
You can safely substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in baking ONLY if the recipe calls for the shortening to be melted first. You can substitute butter or margarine for shortening ( 1 cup + 2 Tbsp for each cup of shortening). You can also substitute 1/2 cup applesauce or prune puree for each cup of shortening.
Depending on your recipe: You can replace eggs in the recipe with this formula (per egg): 1/4 cup applesauce or 1/2 banana 1 tsp. baking powder If your recipe calls for milk you can always use water, juice or rice milk. If your recipe calls for butter you can use margarine or shortening.
There are 16 tbl of butter per cup, so 10 tablespoons is 1/6th of a cup. (i.e half of a 1/3rd cup measure).
the recipe calls for; three fourth cup of brown sugar :)
The two aren't precisely equivalent. To know whether or not you can replace shortening with oil in any given recipe, you may need to try it and see. As a starting point for your experiments, you should probably use approximately 1/4 less oil than the recipe calls for in shortening. Adjust this up or down depending on results.

Shortening or lard could be substituted without any major change in the recipe.
Depending on the recipe, It should work. Shortening was used as a replacement for butter along tima ago to reduce the price of products and to use up shortening or lard. Try to taste the finished product in your head and see if butter would go with the product. Chef Frank
The noun 'cup' is a countablenoun; the plural form is cups. Example:This recipe calls for two cups of flour. Half the recipe would require one cup of flour.
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 because the shortening is just like butter 1 cup of shortening is like 1 cup of butter tell me how the frosting came out =)
