How many cups of vegetable shortening are in one kilogram?
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!
Does vegetable oil shortening contain pork?
No. It is just vegetable oil. I don't think animal fat shortening is even available except for straight lard.
How do you grease a cookie sheet?
You can use butter, margarine, cooking oil, shortening, or non-stick spray. You can also put a sheet of parchment paper on the cookie sheet and not use any fat. The parchment paper will prevent the food from sticking.
Can you use butter instead of lard for tortillas?
You could probably substitute a solid white shortening such as Crisco for lard, although I would be concerned about unhealthy aspects of partially hydrogenated oil.
Can something else be substituted for shortening?
I'll assume you meant butter for one of your shortenings. In most recipes, any solid shortening can be substituted for any other solid. The end product will vary some and in some cases it has to be shortening or it has to be butter. You will just have to try it both ways and see how it turns out.
Can you melt shortening as a substitute for vegetable oil?
For most things. Let it cool and the finished product will be slightly heavier with shortening.
If you don't have butter or Pam what can you use to grease a pan?
You either put vegetable oil on it and spread it around or you get a cooking oil spray and spray the inside of the pan.In some cases, however, you will have better results with vegetable shortening, or butter. Oil will be absorbed by bread dough, for instance, which may then stick to the pan.Read more: Can_you_grease_a_baking_pan_with_oil
Is it necessary to grease a glass baking pan to prevent food from sticking to the pan?
Yes, or you can just use some non-stick spray like pam.
Can you use shortening instead of butter in choc chip cookies?
You can use either-I personally prefer butter. ............. Butter gives a better flavor to the cookies and does not have the unhealthy partially hydrogenated vegetable oils that are in shortening.
What is white shortening?
White shortening is just another term for plain shortening. It's used to distinguish from butter-flavored shortening. If you're not from the US or Canada and don't know what shortening is at all, it's made from partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil and is used as a substitute for lard and butter in recipes and as an oil for deep-frying. It has no flavor of its own and is there strictly to make the dough or short. Substituting butter or lard can be difficult because shortening has some air whipped into it, but for recipes like drop cookies where you can afford to play fast and loose with the measurements a one-to-one substitution of butter often works (and works better than shortening, sometimes).
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.
Can you bake cookies on tinfoil?
