Shortening is solid at room temperature. It is a hydrogenated vegetable oil, the hydrogenation being the thing that makes it solid at room temperature. (Most vegetable 'fats' are usually called oils because they are liquid at room temperature.) Hydrogenated fats are not very good for you.

∙ 12y agoAnimal fats are typically solid at room temperature. (E.g butter, lard).
But vegetable fats (usually "oils") are liquid at room temperature - coconut oil can be an exception, depending on the manufacturing process.
Cocoa butter is also an exception, along with shea butter (however this has very few culinary uses).
Vegetable fats which have been turned into margarine are also solid at room temperature, however these are not pure "fat", they are a 60:40 ratio of fat to water.
