Cooking and baking is a breeze with versatile Crisco shortening.
This month, we’re featuring a true veteran: Crisco Vegetable Shortening for cooking and baking. Crisco has 50% less saturated fat than butter and practically no trans fat.
Crisco was a pioneer in the food industry, the first commonly available vegetable oil-based shortening, replacing lard and beef fat, thought to be precursors of obesity and heart disease, in many households.
Crisco is a very early example of the paradigm shift seen in stores and kitchens almost everywhere these days, resulting in more healthful alternatives on your table.

Crisco is excellent for frying, and great for baking – giving you higher, lighter-textured baked goods. Crisco Butter Flavor Shortening performs the same as Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening, but adds a rich buttery flavor to foods. For your convenience, Crisco shortening is also available in easy-to-measure sticks in both original and butter flavor.
