Vegetable shortening known as Crisco has long been a standard in kitchens. Trans fats are absent from Crisco, which is produced entirely of soybean oil. Crisco offers meals a flaky, light texture and can be used in baking or frying. In recipes, Crisco can also be used in place of butter. Crisco is the best fat to use when preparing cream pies, icing, and other sweets because it doesn't melt at room temperature. Crisco does not require refrigeration because it has a lengthy shelf life. Crisco is the ideal ingredient for all your cooking needs, whether you're baking cookies or frying chicken.
