Review: Dependable stuff - 1st. I have not tried this for pie crusts or baking. I have used it occasionally for frying chicken. But most times I reach for a high smoke point oil, such as extra light olive oil that is labled for grilling or frying. I mostly use this for the final step in cleaning my cast Iron skillet. Naturally, I never use soap on my cast iron skillets. I wash them out with hot water, and a rough green scrubby pad. Then, dry VERY well. Then I take a paper towel an scoop a little Crisco out. Then wipe the inside of the pan . Then wipe out any excess. My cast iron pans are 30 years old now,& are still in like new condition. After trying less expensive brands, I found that this was the easiest to use (not weird clumping up & has a nice smooth texture) The quality has always been great and long lasting when kept in the fridge. As for value for the money, I feel it is worth it, b/ c it has always proven to be dependable. IF I start making a pie crust that calls for shortning,I would start with Crisco first. This is just my own opinion of course. But After 25 yrs of married life,& 3 kids this has been the one I come back to. Review: Great and terrible - all in one! - Okay, first things first—I would never cook with this stuff. Seriously. If you’re thinking of slathering this on your veggies or using it in a healthy recipe, just stop right there. This isn’t “cooking oil”—it’s the equivalent of a couch potato in a can. The kind of product that’s like, "Hey, I’m here to make your cookies super greasy and your arteries question all your life choices." But here’s the plot twist: it’s a cast iron seasoning miracle. Yep, that’s right. While I wouldn’t dream of using Crisco for anything that’s meant to go in your body, I absolutely adore it for keeping my cast-iron skillets looking like the elegant cooking tools they were always meant to be. (I’m still working on convincing my cast iron that it’s more “sleek and sophisticated” than “rusty and sad.”) Crisco is perfect for seasoning. It glides onto the surface of your pan like butter—except it’s not butter. It’s like the fairy godmother of cast-iron care, turning your neglected pan into a slick, non-stick beauty with a crispy, golden sheen. Seriously, this stuff will coat your skillet like it’s preparing for a spa day. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want a spa day for their pan? As a seasoning agent, Crisco gives your skillet that classic, deep-black patina you see on cooking shows where they dramatically wipe a rag across a gleaming pan and then toss in a steak like it’s no big deal. No one needs to know that you didn’t season it with olive oil, and that’s the beauty of it. Just remember: do not cook with this, unless you’re planning to feel like a greased-up greaseball yourself. But for seasoning cast iron? 10/10—would recommend. Just don’t eat it. ## Features - The original. The classic blue can no pantry should be without. Use it for baking, frying, or just to feel like a rock star in the kitchen. Crisco is Baking - 50% Less Saturated Fat than Butter - 0g Trans Fat Per Serving - Excellent source of ALA Omega-3 fatty acid - Gluten Free and Kosher Pareve ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00U9WHS22 | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Allergen Information | Soy | | Brand | Crisco | | Brand Name | Crisco | | Color | All-Vegetable | | Container Type | Can | | Cuisine | American | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,470 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Vegetable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00196005242504 | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 16 Ounces | | Manufacturer | B&G Foods, Inc | | Model Number | 24250 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 6 | | Package Information | Can | | Part Number | 24250 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Frying | | Set Name | Single Can | | Size | 16 Oz | | Specialty | Gluten Free, Kosher | | UPC | 196005242504 | | Unit Count | 16 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crisco - **Flavor:** Vegetable - **Item Weight:** 16 Ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Information:** Can ## Images ![All-Vegetable Shortening, 16 Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7174d9qcMZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Too bad it's made with soybean oil now. Nothing like it used to be. Anyone know of a non soy shortening?** A: I found this on a google search "Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening". It's not cheap but certified "Organic" at $9.19 for 24oz.. It is also sold here on Amazon for $11.60 Prime. Hope this helps. **Q: Is This Vegan?** A: yes **Q: Ingredients... Isn't tbhq made from butain and a carcinogen?** A: Thank you for reaching out! TBHQ is an FDA-approved antioxidant often used to maintain a product’s taste. Specifically, it is used to prevent oils and fats from deteriorating, which would result in products having a bad smell and taste.

Hope this helps! **Q: Is it two 24 oz containers or two 48 oz?** A: two 48 oz containers ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable stuff *by S***R on November 17, 2025* 1st.

I use to get it in a 6lb can from Costco years ago when I was doing wedding cakes. But, since I don't bake as much , the little can is enough. The price is comparible to the grocery stores. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening, 16 Ounce - Summit...responsible solutions 110-12 Mosquito Dunks, 6-Pack - Summit Mosquito Dunk Tablet, 20 Count (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/31744569-all-vegetable-shortening-16-ounce](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/31744569-all-vegetable-shortening-16-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
