What are the different kinds of shortening?

Answer 1

Emulsified shortening is also known as cake, icing or high ratio shortening. It can absorb more sugar and liquid than regular vegetable shortening and gives a finer/smoother texture to cakes while helping to keep them moist, as well as keeping icings more stable. It's mostly used in icings and cakes where the recipe contains a large percentage of sugar. Alpine Hi-Ratio Shortening and Sweetex are the most common brands.

Answer 2

I use shortning in making a white frosting. for a large cake I put a 2lb bag of powdered sugar and a half of cup of shortning. Using a mixer I add milk a little at a time until I get the consistency that spreads smooth by whipping air into it. You can add vanilla or other flavors and food collering to get a large varity of icings. Have you notice that when you get a store bought cake that you have a lite distenct tast of shortning in the icing. Now you know. The shortning keeps the sugar from cristleizing like a hard galze.

Answer 3

Types of shortening:

1. Solid Shortening - recommended for use in bread dough because it can be more thoroughly distributed through the dough.

2. Liquid Shortening - mainly used in recipes that call for melted shortening, such as some cake and bread recipes.
