You can experiment by substituting half of the called-for Crisco with butter to see how it affects the texture of your dish. I need to remove some spots of rust on a flat rectangular cast iron griddle. It is new and I did not know that I should season it . The area of rust is about the size of a quarter. Keep in mind that butter contains a small amount of water, unlike Crisco that is completely fat. This may yield a slightly different texture than shortening. Most cakes and breads won’t be affected, but pie crusts will be less flakey. You have now created a thin, polymerized coating in your pan! Several coats are much more effective. It’s the omega 3 oils (ALA in flax) that turn into the polymer, and flax is very high, 70% compared to 10% in grape seed. So the theory suggests flax. But the proof is in the frying.That’s awesome Sandra! No need to buy something new if you don’t have to… I pretty much exclusively use avocado oil to cook with and to maintain the seasoning on my griddles. You can also try Crisco for seasoning… it’s inexpensive and you may already have it in your pantry. Veit, Helen Zoe (December 25, 2020).

I’m just confused and frustrated as you were in your YouTube video because I’m supposed to surpass the smoke point I think but then it’s bad if I do? Butter is the most popular substitute for shortening. It is widely available and most people already have butter in their refrigerator, but it is more expensive than Crisco. The process of the hydrogenation of organic substances in gas form was developed by Paul Sabatier in the late 19th century. Building on James Boyce's 1890s work in the successful development of a consumable solid lard substitute, Cottolene, in the U.S., [2] the liquid form of hydrogenation was perfected and patented by Wilhelm Normann in 1903.

Every household probably has butter, and you can even buy it in some gas stations. But just because it’s readily available and cheap, doesn’t mean that you want to season your cast iron with it. When it comes to baking and cooking, shortening is incredibly famous. It’s basically any fat that remains in solid form at room temperature. For many years, vegetable shortening was also considered healthier than animal based shortening because of its low saturated fat content. This viewpoint has changed in recent years with the discovery that vegetable shortening that has been highly processed may actually be less nutritious. Unlike butter, lard makes an excellent substitute for shortening when deep frying because it has a high smoke point. Like Crisco, lard contains minimal water. This limits smoke and splatter during frying.While beating the coconut oil with sugar can work for baked goods, you will need to melt it for most cooked goods as they do not generally contain sugar. Coconut oil melts easily in the microwave or a pot on the stove. There are a variety of liquid oils that can be used in place of Crisco in certain recipes. Crisco itself is made from vegetable oil. Vegetable oil, along with olive oil, avocado oil, peanut oil, and grapeseed oil can all be a good substitute for Crisco and are options to consider. Alex Renton (September 27, 2006).
