adds volume in baked products
Because both butter and shortening are fats that are solid at room temperature, they work much the same in baked products. Advertisers promoting vegetable shortening do claim that products baked with shortening rise more or will have better appearance and texture. These claims may or may not be true.

It will make your food taste spoiled. I did it with some cookies not paying attention to the expire date and they had this awful aftertaste. They baked and looked the same way and the shortening didnt have a smell but the taste was not a good one.
Oil can be used instead. It does however yield different results. Shortening will yield a firmer crust in baked goods, while oil will yield a soft crust.
