Crisco All Vegetable Shortening 453 g - Lot of 3

Product Information

Unlike butter or margarine, Crisco doesn't burn when heated making it a useful fat for frying, plus it doesn't need to be refrigerated. Crisco would expand the range by offering Crisco Cooking Spray, Olive oil, Canola oil, Corn oil, Peanut oil, and Sunflower oil.

This means that if you consume about 2,200 calories daily, no more than 132 of them should be from saturated fat. This hydrogenation process fully saturates the vegetable oil molecules with hydrogen ions until they have the characteristic firmness of saturated fats (like butter, lard, and coconut oil) at room temperature ( 2). This process also increases the shelf life of the shortening, making it a popular choice for commercial food production as well as home use. While Taste America Ltd update product information about American food online regularly, the nutrition, ingredient, allergen and other product information may change. But when a fat such as shortening is cut into flour before baking, it coats the gluten strands, preventing them from lengthening and forming a tough matrix.

In baking, using liquid oil in place of shortening may result in a product that’s overly firm and has an uneven grain ( 22). This reformulated Crisco is claimed to have the same cooking properties and flavor as the original version of the product. Coconut oil may give foods a nutty or coconut flavor, and palm oil has come under fire because harvesting it has negative effects on the environment ( 21).

Shortening is also not just for baking — it’s commonly used instead of oil or other types of fat for frying too. In recipes like pie crusts, where you cut solid fat into flour, liquid oil won’t give you the same flaky result. The composition of the resultant triglycerides is random, and may contain combinations of fatty acids not commonly found in nature.unsere Produktinformationen: Wir tun alles, um sicherzustellen, dass die Produktinformationen der von uns verkauften Produkte so genau wie möglich sind.
