Can you use a crisco stick for browines instead of the oil?
Absolutely. Shortening will actually give the brownies a slightly fluffier texture than oil, which actually makes them somewhat dense and gummy. Crisco brand vegetable shortening, a hydrogenated oil, is less healthy for you than oil as it is a solidified transfat (oils synthetically processed to mimic saturated fats). Lard and butter as well, though natural saturated fats (shortenings), are less healthy than oils as well.

Shortening is the fat or oil used in cooking. It can range from lard to olive oil, depending on the recipe.
