Do you use the same amount or is it different? Posted on 11/15/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can I Replace Shortening With Cooking Oil?

I was wondering about if Canola Oil would be okay..I have a pie crust recipe that calls for canola oil, and the pie crust is delicious. Even better than the pie crust that calls for shortening.

By healthfreak1 (Guest Post) I have been using butter as a good replacement in recipes as i am somewhat horrfied by the health risks posed by shortening, and the idea of directly consuming transfats petrifies me! 1 cup of shortening should be replaced with 3/4 of a cup of butter Posted on 08/02/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can I Replace Shortening With Cooking Oil? By ewing_reva (4) Contact what works for me is to use a tip I read in the old tightwad gazette news letters. use 2/3 ratio. if the recipe calls for 1 cup shortening use 2/3 cup of your oil of choice. The person that shared that tip had won a blue ribbon in the county fair for her biscuts. I find it works. I do not even have shortening in my house.

For example, cookies made with cooking oil will usually be softer and spread out more in the oven than cookies made with shortening. Butter would be a better substitute if you're trying to preserve the texture/consistency of what you're making.

You could refrigerate shortening to prolong its lifespan. That said, I substitute butter for most recipes asking for shortening. Sometimes I use a combination of butter and cooking oil (in pie dough). If the recipe states "melted shortening", then use cooking oil. When using butter, use slightly less than the amount of shortening requested. For example, if a cookie recipe asks for 1 cup of shortening, use 3/4 cup of butter.

However, if you are frying, then cooking oil is a good substitue. By the way, shortening keeps for a very long time! Posted on 01/29/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
