Won't butter or Crisco melt if they are used to grease a baking dish that's baked at 350 degrees for 30 min?
I'm asking because an elderly relative sent me home with a baking dish of extra stuffing and the inside of the pan looked like it had been greased with Crisco that hadn't melted. But that stuffing recipe doesn't call for the pan to be greased. Additionally, there was white stuff that looked like unmelted Crisco on some of the stuffing that had been reheated in the microwave. I'm a bit disturbed by all this because something doesn't seem right. I can't see how that white substance could be Crisco, butter, or lard. Any ideas as to what it could be? I can't think of any other food products that look like Crisco and wouldn't melt in the oven. I'll have to wait a week before I can ask the relative(s) who made it. I'd like to get answers now because I'm worried it may have made some of us who ate it sick.
