Vegetable shortening is made by hydrogenating vegetable oils, which involves adding hydrogen to the oil under high pressure and temperature. This process changes the structure of the oil, making it solid at room temperature. The hydrogenated oil is then filtered and refined to create the final product, vegetable shortening.

Can you use solidified bacon fat in place of shortening for pinto beans recipe that calls for a half cup water and 1 TBSP shortening?

Yes, you can. Lard (pork fat), tallow (beef fat) and other rendered animal fats (including bacon fat) originally, until the introduction of vegetable shortening, were called "short fats" or shortening. A result of the rendering process is that the portions of these fats that cannot be rendered are removed, leaving the fat 'short' of these [originally supposed] nutrients. So, yes, any rendered fats can be used in place of vegetable shortening. Keep in mind that the hydrogenation process that produces shortening also produces trans-fats [liquid fats that are processed to mimic the qualities of saturated fats] which are just as bad if not worse than the saturated fats [fats that are solid at room temperature]. You could, if you wanted, use oil in place of the shortening, (never do this for pastries, though) since the shortening melts into the recipe anyways.


Is shortening a saturated fat?

Yes, shortening is typically made from hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are high in saturated fats because of the hydrogenation process used to solidify the oils. However, some newer varieties of shortening may contain less saturated fat or be trans-fat free.

What is the function of vegatable oil in bread?

It is a shortening ingredient and stabilizer. Shortening refers to process where gluten formation in bread is prevented. This will make a softer bread. Vegetable oil also stabilizes the bread and increases the shelf life. It does this by preventing starch molecules from crystallizing, or retrograding. This helps to prevent staling.
