Yes. If you are going to fry something with it. It should not be subsitiuted for "oil in a baking recipe however.
Yes you can but you need to melt it first to have the correct measurement. You can also use corn oil some people say it tastes alittle wierd in a cake but it doesnt to me.
Yes, solid Crisco can be used. Not Crisco oil.
if a peanut butter recipe call for vegetable oil 1/3 cup and I only have 1/4 cup can I melt crisco shortening and add to the vegetable oil.
Yes, you can melt shortening and use in a cake recipe. It will change the texture and possibly add heaviness to the cake, but it will still be good.
You can use butter instead, although you really won't get the same texture as you'd get using Crisco. Oil does not work in Irish Soda Bread. You could try searching for an Irish Soda Bread recipe that doesn't include Crisco.
No.
All you need to do for any solid is place it in enough water to displace the amount needed. For example, place the solid crisco in one cup of water in a two cup measuring cup, add the solid crisco until it hits the two cup line and you have a cup of solid crisco.
Butter or margarine can be used instead, adding a couple of extra tablespoons per cup of shortening called for in a recipe.
crisco
Yes, melted and cooled Crisco can be used in place of vegetable oil.
Crisco was formally introduced in June 1911 as crystallized cottonseed oil. They wanted the name of the company to be "Cryst" but due to religious views the company name was changed to Crisco. It was not until 1960 when the company Crisco first introduced vegetable oil to the world.
