I don't deep-fry often, but Crisco is the way to go. It doesn't leave your house smelling like a deep-fryer, as do less refined vegetable oils. And now it has far less trans fat than it used to.
Crisco & popcorn is great!

Fried up some chicken a few weeks ago using Criso and that same (vingate) cast iron "chicken frying pan" by Wagner. Yes, one used Crisco, but still had a house that had a whiff for several days.
Personally like peanut oil as it has a higher smoking point than Crisco. This usually means less "fried chicken" odor lingering around.
Crisco aside just loved Ceila's house especially that kichen! So open and airy which is great for summer cooking in hot weather, especially before AC came to the South! Just open the doors and windows for cross ventilation!
Hilly was so mean to Ceila. Mainly because she took a man off her, but also because the latter was considered "white trash", but the rest of the girls.

Crisco and Feet
Back in the day when one was involved with nursing Crisco was recommended for use on persons suffering from diabetes as part of foot care. This was before the all the special creams came along which do the same thing but are mineral oil, silicone, and fat based as opposed to just shortening.

Although I no longer purchase it,
I can attest to the versatility of Crisco.
I am sure I would not be the only one here who could.
Crisco was originally a Procter and Gamble product, which is amusing, because another Procter and Gamble product, Dawn dish liquid is the perfect external remover of Crisco. External. Now, Crisco is a Smucker's product (that's not why I stopped using it, however.)

Maytagbear,
You are right about Crisco being so versatile...it is great for frying chicken AND making deliciously flaky pie crust ;-)

My Granddads Cousin..
Had the same exact Home Comfort range, I remember she also had a Kenmore Electric, but would only bake cakes in the wood stove, and let me tell you, there has never been a pound cake with as good a crust as that!!

There ws a time in the South when, among my friends, you could find Crisco in more than one room in the house.

While Crisco can be used for more, uhm, "naughty" uses, lol, Minnie was right. My first grade teacher Miss Viola is in her late 80's now, and according to a friend who married her grandson, every night after her bath, Miss Viola uses Crisco on every inch of her skin. She certainly doesn't look her age, and swears it is the best skin cream there is.
Yes, Crisco was the boy butter for the special occasion but cooking and baking with this oil makes everything so tasty!

Larry!
OMG that's funny. Boy butter. LMAO
I do believe Hilly is busy arranging a canned-food drive for starving children in Africa.
Minny keeps it real, doesn't she?

May never again look at Crisco/shortening again the same, ever. Pity really as Saturday is baking day and had planned to make pies and cookies.

You don't have to look far to find "Hilly" or even "Elizabeth" and not only in Jackson, MI.

There are Hilly's everywhere. The trick is keeping them off your ass, while occasionally managing to nail their's. Nothing ever feels as good as getting the upper hand on people like that.
Which cycle should I use to get rid of crisco stains?

Hot/Sanitary, I imagine!
I guess you don't put Crisco on bread? I guess it is not a margarine? (Not that I would put margarine on my bread!! lol)

Like I Say
You all can keep the Crisco, I just want Ceila's house/property. The interior looks so "old South". Will have to take a trip to Jackson, MI and see what's down there. Course wouldn't be caught dead in Sugar Ditch!

Unless things have changed it is very difficult to find veggie shortening in many European countries. Partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil IIRC is banned in some EU countries. Many Americans living abroad have the stuff shipped over and or stock up when they are back in the states. Europeans who cook/bake either professionally or just like to again often stock up when here or have it shipped.
Whenever one was in the UK or EU found what was called shortening to often be margarine, which is not the same thing at all for my uses anyway.
Historically shortening was any sort of fat that was soild at room temperature, such as lard or even butter. But the brothers who were P&G company at the time launched a war against butter and lard to get housewives and others to switch over to their new product "Crisco".
One of P&G's main marketing points for Crisco was that it was digestible (the phrase "it's digestible" appeared in adverts for Crisco and on labeling for ages, versus lard and butter. It was also marketed to Jewish housewives as Kosher.

I bought some Crisco overhere, can't remember where I found it. Probably at the Chinese supermarket overhere. They carry more American products.
