Yes, you can freeze shortening to extend its shelf life. When properly wrapped in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag, it can be frozen for up to 1 year. However, for best quality, it's recommended to use it within 6 months. Always allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before use for optimal results.

Are there any health risk by using old shortening?

The only health risk to using "old" shortening, is the health risks you assume by using shortening at all. Shortening (usually vegetable shortening [hydrogenated oils/ transfats], lard or clarified butter) is usually processed so that it has a very long shelf life[years] and is no different at the end of the shelflife than at the beginning. Shortening lasts a very long time, as long as it doesn't get contaminated.

Yes, you can freeze Crisco shortening to extend its shelf life, but it's not necessary. After opening, it’s best to store it in a cool, dry place rather than the fridge, as refrigeration can affect its texture. Crisco shortening typically has a shelf life of about 2 years when unopened and around 1 year after opening, if stored properly. Always check for off odors or changes in color before use.
