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.
