Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening Sticks, 20 Ounce, 3 Sticks

This may have been the easiest part of my first pie crust experience. Years ago, a friend of mine's mom would make homemade squirrel pot pies and they were delicious. Her crust was always the highlight and I asked her how she made them. She replied that she used "Fluffo" and it was the secret to the crust. Well... I couldn't find Fluffo so I ordered these Crisco Butter flavored sticks. I wanted to do everything from scratch since I'm a single retired guy and have all kinds of time on my hands. I followed a recipe I found online and spent the morning making crusts. This product was so easy to incorporate into the dry flour, and my end result looked just like the pictures online. It was a little scary and time consuming making the filling, but the pies actually turned out quite well and were very good. I think I'll use the other two sticks on a fruit pie. What the heck... I have the time!

I have been using Crisco for years and the shortening sticks are so convenient and easy to use! Especially since you do not have to use a measuring cup because the individual packaging has guide lines for tablespoons, cups, etc. The butter flavor is rich and adds a lovely butter flavor to the items you are baking. There is no longer a requirement to add water as well, to match butter! Great value as well, since time and convenience are added to the cost breakdown in my opinion!

Easy to use version of a favorite brand of shortening. My youngest sister told me about how much better it is to buy these sticks of Crisco instead of the old style in a can or container. She was so correct! Now I can use Crisco to bake my grandmother’s cookie recipes, knowing they will be soft and more flavorful due to the longtime quality of the Crisco brand, used now for 5 generations in our family.

A must have for homemade cakes.

Got these for wifey to take when she travels to kids houses where they don't have old-fashioned supplies that we old fogeys use to make the delicacies they want us to fix from scratch. These are convenient, last a looooong time & are worth having on the pantry shelf.

My delivery was delayed.I understand things do occur at times. I love using the Crisco sticks for baking. This was a good deal compared to the price in my neck of the woods. First thing I do is check the expiration date! The delivery was good. However, the product was warm and soft so I just put it in the freezer for 5 mins to get it firm. I expected that because it's not a delivery truck that keeps items cool. But, my opinion/ advise during the hot seasons or any seasons I think items that are susceptible to melting in heat should be delivered in a truck that have a freezer and/or packed in dry ice. Overall, I'm satisfied!

I recently had to start baking dairy free and these have been WONDERFUL. I definitely prefer the buttery flavor over original Crisco, and highly recommend it. The texture is nice to work with - as these sit in the pantry I never have to wait for butter to soften or take the risk of using the microwave and melting it by accident. (We've all done it, right?) There are some things that I thought would only be good with butter like my birthday cake scones or my great grandmother's sugar cookies. I honestly can't tell that much of a difference, and with MUCH less saturated fat than butter I feel better about using them, especially knowing there is no trans fat. Make the switch!

So easy to use. The 1 cup blocks make things super simple. Actually works better than real butter for many baking applications
