All this talk about Crisco reminds me of some third grade - I'm sure
sexist - joke, the punch line of which was "fat in the can" - but I
can't remember the damn setup. Which is probably just as well.:-) It
also takes me back to my childhood and the radio soaps sponsored by
Crisco - to say nothing of the fact that my mother always cooked with
it. Pure vegetable shortening - dietetically correct before its time.:-)

Crisco is a Vegetable Shortening and is actually not too bad for cooking
healthy.

Isn't Crisco's main job to be cheap?
I think to make Fried Chicken in anything else the oil would cost more
than the chicken! No way am I going to reuse any of that stuff. Mark

In the yuppie health food store down the street they have high end
vegetarian Crisco packaged the same way. Won't kill you anywhere near as
fast or as painfully.
