You can't really sub the two items. The texture would be way off.
If you really had to do it, melt the shortening and measure out 13 cups of liquid.
The same amount.
Use the same amount of butter as you would shortening. In bread, a tablespoon of butter can be used instead of a tablespoon of shortening. The same amount of canola oil is even healthier.
For most cookies you can't use oil in place of shortening.
it depends what the oil is being used for.
It would be the exact same color as Lard (vegetable shortening): White.

Melt the butter & measure the amount it needs. If it needs 2/3 cup oil, use that much melted butter.
Well, honey, there are about 4.4 cups of vegetable shortening in one kilogram. So, if you're baking up a storm and need to convert those measurements, now you know. Just don't blame me if you end up with too much grease in your cake!
Definitely. Much better for you, too.
Yeah you can. Because you can replace oils for oils and fats for fats, and shortening is both, you can use butter as it is a fat. But since butter has about 15% water, you would have to use a tiny bit less butter or a tiny bit more of dry ingredients. :)
When substituting butter for vegetable oil in a recipe, use a 1:1 ratio. This means you can use the same amount of butter as the recipe calls for vegetable oil.
What are you substituting the oil with? What kind of recipe? You couldn't use butter for the oil in salad dressing. Sometimes it does matter what kind of shortening you use.
