The ratio of oil to shortening generally depends on the recipe and desired texture. A common guideline is to use about 3/4 cup of oil for every 1 cup of shortening, as oil can add moisture and fat content, while shortening provides structure. However, it's always best to adjust based on specific recipe requirements.
Shortening is the same as lard, so the ratio is 1:1.
yes it will curdle. High Ratio Shortening contains emulsifiers that allow it to hold a large amount of liquid without curdling. do NOT substitute regular shortening or butter into a recipe that specifically says High ratio or emulsified shortening.
It depends on the recipe. Shortening becomes solid at room temperature while vegetable oil does not. So vegetable oil may be substituted for melted shortening only in recipes that do not depend on shortening becoming solid for texture when cooled.

One cup of high ratio shortening typically weighs around 6 to 7 ounces (approximately 170 to 200 grams). The exact weight can vary slightly depending on the brand and specific formulation. High ratio shortening is denser than regular shortening, which is why it's important to use the correct measurement for recipes.
Yes, melted shortening can replace vegetable oil in zucchini bread, although shortening is not a healthy choice.
For most cookies you can't use oil in place of shortening.
I normally replace with half shortening and half butter. It works fine.
You could substitute shortening for oil in a cake mix, but it is not recommended. The resulting cake made with shortening will have a noticeably different texture and mouthfeel. Yes you Can. Shortening.. or Hydrogenated Oil is basically poison anyways.
