Crisco Vegetable Shortening – 440g Cooking and Baking Ingredient

Crisco Vegetable Shortening offers a versatile and reliable alternative to butter and animal fats in a 440g (1lb) container. Made from a blend of soybean oil and fully and partially hydrogenated palm and soybean oils, this shortening provides a consistent texture ideal for baking and cooking applications where flakiness and moisture retention are essential.

Its neutral flavor profile makes it a practical choice for creating tender pie crusts, fluffy biscuits, and crispy fried foods without altering the taste of your recipes. The inclusion of antioxidants like TBHQ and citric acid ensures freshness and extends shelf life, maintaining product quality over time.

This shortening’s solid texture at room temperature allows it to create air pockets in doughs, resulting in baked goods with superior lightness and structure. Suitable for both professional bakers and home cooks looking for dependable results, it works particularly well in recipes requiring a stable fat that won’t melt quickly during preparation.

Unlike butter, Crisco Vegetable Shortening does not contain water, which helps reduce gluten development and promotes tenderness in baked treats. Its ability to withstand high heat also makes it optimal for frying applications, providing crispiness without excessive oil absorption.
