Crisco Shortening - Vegetable Butter

Crisco - All Vegetable Shortening is a versatile product that can be used in many ways in your kitchen. Here are some pointers on how to best use it:

1. Pastries for cakes: Crisco is perfect for obtaining soft and light doughs. You can substitute the butter or oil for Crisco in your cake, cookie or tart recipe. Just follow the recipe instructions and substitute equal amounts of butter or oil for Crisco. Make sure you cut the Crisco into small pieces and mix it well with the other ingredients until you get a smooth paste.

2. Frying: Crisco is an excellent option for frying foods like chips, chicken, fish, and so much more. Thanks to its heat resistance, Crisco maintains a stable temperature during frying and gives your food a delicious crunchiness. Before you begin frying, melt the Crisco in a pot large enough to completely submerge the foods you wish to fry. Make sure you reheat it to an appropriate temperature and follow the specific frying instructions for your chosen foods.

3. Baking: Crisco can also be used to grease baking trays and molds to prevent food from sticking during cooking. You can apply it to the inside surfaces of the pan or use a brush to spread it evenly. This will help to obtain cakes and bread products that come off the pan easily.

4. Food storage: Crisco can also be used to store food. If you need to store leftovers or protect foods from drying out, you can apply a thin layer of Crisco to the surface of foods or use it to seal containers.

Always remember to follow the specific recipe instructions in which you use Crisco and store it in a cool, dry place when you're not using it. Explore the versatility of Crisco - All Vegetable Shortening in your kitchen and experiment with new recipes for delicious results.
