_Remember That_-- _When pie crust is tough:_ It is possible you have not used Crisco properly. Perhaps the measurements were not correct. Perhaps the water was too warm, or the dough was handled too much. Shortening cannot make pastry tough. _When fried foods absorb:_ It is because Crisco is not hot enough, or because you have not used enough Crisco. Use plenty and the raw foods, if added in small quantities, will not reduce the heat of the fat. The absorption in deep Crisco frying should be less than that of another fat. _When cake is not a success:_ It is not the fault of the Crisco. Either too much was used, the oven heat not perfectly controlled or some important ingredient was used in the wrong proportion. Crisco should be creamed with the sugar more thoroughly than butter, as Crisco contains no moisture to dissolve the sugar. _When cake or other food is not flavory:_ Salt should have been added to the Crisco, for Crisco contains no salt. _When there is smoke in the kitchen:_ Crisco has been burned or heated too high for frying. Or some may have been on the _outside_ of the pan or kettle. |
