1 cup shortening, solid (used in baking) = 1 & 1/8 cup butter. Reduce salt in recipe by 1/2
1 cup shortening, melted = 1 cup cooking oil
I never knew there was a 'ratio' in this. I am 68, I used veg oil for everything, amounts the same. A cup of one meant a cup of the other.
In some cases the substitution is not wise. Shortening is solid at room temp. Oil is not. The difference would be in the texture after cooking.
I don't remember where I got this information for substituting oil for butter/margarine, but I use the same measurements to substitute oil for shortening.
Butter/Margarine = Oil
1 tsp - 3/4 tsp
1 tbsp = 2 1/4 tsp
2 tbsp = 1 1/2 tbsp
1/4 cup = 3 tbsp
1/3 cup = 1/4 cup
1/2 cup =1/4 cup + 2 tbsp
2/3 cup = 1/2 cup
3/4 cup = 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp
1 cup = 3/4 cup
Olive oil is the best choice, because it is 77% monounsaturated (the "good" fat)
1/3 cup of shortening = how much vegetable oil??
How much oil should I use to replace 1 cup of crisc on?
How much lard is used in Subsituuon of 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
Usually, fats are substituted in a 1:1 ratio. So I would try 1/4 cup lard instead.
What is the answer
Fats are usually substituted at a 1:1 ratio. So a 1/4 of oil would convert into a 1/4 cup of shortening or butter.
1/3 cup shortening convert to tablespoon?
