Why is shortening bad for you? Since the invention of hydrogenation, shortening has been made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Unfortunately, partial hydrogenation also creates artificial trans fats, which have serious negative health effects. Trans fats raise your risk of heart disease, death from heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Does Crisco taste like butter? Naturally and artificially flavored, it offers 50 percent less saturated fat than butter and 0 grams trans fat per serving.
What is a substitute for Crisco? Substitutes for shortening include butter, coconut oil and other items used in accordance with our table. When substituting, beware that shortening is usually referenced in the solid form, as in cans of Crisco. But Crisco can be used in recipes both in the solid form and in the melted or liquid form. Do you refrigerate shortening after opening? No, it is not necessary to refrigerate shortening- in very hot, humid storage environments, shortening may be refrigerated if desired, but it should be returned back to room temperature before using to ensure best results.
Can I freeze shortening? Yes you can freeze crisco. It keeps it fresh. Just take it out long enough before using to let it thaw some. It is hard to take out of the can when it is frozen. If you realize your shortening is rancid after using it to make food, be sure to throw out both the shortening and the food you made with it.
Vegetable shortening is easy to store. You should keep it away from light and in a cool place. If you live in a hotter climate, you can store it in the fridge to keep it from melting. You can freeze shortening. Remember that light, heat, and oxygen are the enemies of freshness for any food. This is particularly true of oils and fats. Store in air-tight, opaque containers to get a longer shelf life.
Knowing when your shortening goes bad can keep you healthier in the long term. Knowing how to store your shortening will also let you keep your shortening fresh longer. In short, shortening and any fat will have changes to smell, color, and texture if it goes bad. It tasted so good! What a big relief Thanks to you all!!!

Sounds like it was bad when it was purchased. Mac Posted 1 Aug , pm. Molliebird Posted 3 Aug , am. Twins Posted 3 Aug , pm. About CakeCentral. Privacy Policy Terms Of Use. Cans of Crisco shortening should retain quality for about 12 months after opening, while sticks should last for about 6 months.
The difference between the cans and sticks is because can protects the fat from oxygen much better than foil does. Please note that the periods above are for the best quality. Crisco shortening will likely stay safe to use for much longer. Generally, you should look for changes in appearance, smell, and taste. Same thing if it smells off, rancid or stale. The sniff test is handy here as well.
