Crisco Professional Trans Fat Free Creamy Fry Shortening General Purpose, 1 Count

Crisco Professional Trans Fat Free Creamy Fry Shortening General Purpose delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Deep frying: Fry chicken, fish, french fries, onion rings, and other battered or breaded items with consistent golden browning and a stable fry temperature that holds up through batch after batch.
Pan frying and sautéing: Use in skillets and griddles for searing proteins, sautéing vegetables, or cooking breakfast items like eggs and hash browns with even heat distribution and minimal sticking.
Baking: Cut into pie crusts, biscuits, and pastry doughs for flaky, tender layers; cream with sugar for cakes and cookies that need a solid fat for structure and moisture retention.
Griddle and flat-top cooking: Spread on flat-top grills as a cooking medium for pancakes, grilled sandwiches, and diner-style fare where a neutral-flavored fat with a high smoke point is essential.

Application Areas

This shortening fits into nearly every station of a commercial kitchen. At the fry station, its stable melt profile and resistance to breakdown support back-to-back frying batches without frequent oil changes. On the griddle or flat top, a thin film provides even heat transfer and a natural release for proteins, eggs, and batter-based items. In the pastry and bake shop, it performs as a solid fat for laminating doughs, creaming into batters, and producing the flaky texture that liquid oils cannot replicate. Because it is labeled general purpose, a single inventory item can cover frying, baking, and griddle work, simplifying ordering and storage for operations that want to streamline their fat and oil stock.

Preparation & Use

Scoop the desired amount of shortening directly from the container. For deep frying, fill the fryer to the recommended oil level and heat to your target temperature; the shortening will melt from its creamy solid state into a clear liquid as it comes to fry heat. For baking, measure cold and cut into flour using a pastry blender or fork, or cream with sugar if the recipe calls for it. For griddle work, apply a thin even coat to the preheated surface. Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve fry life and prevent off-flavors. Allow used shortening to cool completely before handling or disposing of it according to your kitchen’s grease management procedures.
