I just don't understand the difference between these three items.
Are they interchangeable based on preference, or do they each have very distinctive uses.
I am frying chicken tonight and I don't know if I have to use oil in my pan or if I have to use lard.
One other thing I would like to know is if a recipe call for oil and I melt down the required amount of shortening, is that the same thing? If not, why would it make a difference, what would the outcome be?
I am grateful for any and all replies.
