*laughs* well, uh, some people use it for masturbating. lol It's a multipurpose product. Cooking, to fix your hair, maturbation, make biscuits. You just have to make sure your hands are clean when you reach into the container or your biscuits might end up tasting funny~

Not a substitute for butter. I wouldn't go spreading it on toast or anything. It's a solid form of vegetable oil. Some used to use it to fry chicken and stuff in before we knew about the dangers of cholesterol. When it says to grease a pan or grease and flour a pan (when baking) you can use this.
You can also make a killer pie crust using this, flour, and water.
Not a very healthy choice though, I'm surprised it's still around.

It is not a substitute for Lard, And it is NOT lard in ANY WAY!!
lard is ANIMAL fat. Crisco is VEGETABLE oil.
Lard is gross fat that you get from meat.
Crisco is vegetable oil. BIG diference. Dont you even try to say that we put that gross fat that you take off your steak in baked goods!! I would puke if someone made cookies with LARD!!
If you heat it up, then its basically liquid vegetable oil. So crisco is vegetable oil in a solid state.

It's vegetable shortening, and it's used in recipes. Sometimes, it's used in icing in commercial type cakes, fry food in, etc. It also has cosmetic properties. I've heard of some movie stars that put it on their face at night to hold in the moister. I don't know if it works, I've never tried it, but I have been know to put it in my hair and braid it and leave it for a couple of day, sometimes for a week. It gets rid of the split ends and makes your hair really shiny after you wash it out. It's very hard to get out, you have to wash it about three times.

for cooking...especially cakes and baking...it is a vegetable shortening in solid form...or in the bottle as well in liquid form.
A lot of the old cookbooks call for it instead of butter or margarine like they do now...my mom used it for her cornbread and I gotta say the stuff was really good!
