Not An Intended Use

[Andy M.]

I was puttering around the kitchen doing some general clean up and came across a can of Crisco. I was checking the label to see what it said about refrigeration and came across this sentence.

Not intended for use as a spread.

Apparently the Crisco people felt the need to add that statement to their label.

Was this a problem of which I was not aware? Are teens secretly spreading Crisco on their toast for a 'fat high'?

Are you a closet Crisco spreader?

I don't even have any in my house. Hydrogenated oils are the devil.

But even if I did... ewww. Can you imagine the slimy feel of that in your mouth?? I don't think you could put it on anything that could even disguise it enough to make it edible as a spread.

They make butter flavored Crisco, so I could see someone mistaking that as a spread.

I like to use it instead of sunscreen.. is that weird?

Yes

 

[pacanis]

Maybe since butter and shortening are interchangeable in a lot of recipes they thought they better clarify (pun intended) that it was only to be used after melted or cooked. Maybe somebody gagged on a spoonful...

Many years ago, when I was working in construction, I had a co-worker who use to eat a Crisco sandwich everyday for lunch. I have never had the gumption nor the nerve to try that one yet.

my aunt, who was severely anemic and underweight, needed to gain some twenty-five pounds in order to gain a medical release allowing her to emigrate to america. my dad (her brother) shipped her a number of cans of crisco to help her put on the needed pounds. about six months later, we were able to reunite at ellis island with my dear, sweet, newly pudgy auntie!! (apparently, they did not heed the warning....)

Just like cheap grocery store bakery cake icings? You know the kind... an inch thick, no flavor and that tell-tale 'coat yer mouth like motor oil' feeling?

Recipe:

5 1/2 cups Hi Ratio shortening ( sweetex)
5 pounds sifted powdered sugar
Flavorings






SWEETEX = Partially hydrogenated Soybean and Palm Oils with Mono- And Di-Glycerides added

YUM!

say what you will about crisco, but the homemade doughnuts and french fries that i deep fried in crisco many years ago, are still the standard i use for excellence when doing comparisons today....

 

[Robo410]

try duck fat fries...you'll never go back to crisco

 

[vitauta]

you are absolutely right, robo! shoot me right now.

just got my second shipment in the mail of a case of 1 1/2 oz. containers of duck fat from amazon, but, sadly, i don't think it's enough for fries.
