Ive been pondering buying some powdered shortening...  Has anyone used it before for cooking?  Can it still be used for greasing a pan?

I've used a sample, years ago - once - just to see what it did.

It seemed to me to be pulverized crisco covered in flour or something. It worked fine. I just didn't see an advantage and it's probably still part of my shore-lunch bag.

I don't use much oil/grease and prefer to add fake butter near the end of the cooking stage. And no, I have no idea why I don't use real butter beyond the squeeze bottle being easier to transport.

Don't know about the powered shortening, I just put some regular shortening in a 'Coghlan's' squeeze tube. No fuss no mess, just squeeze out as needed! Also works for stick butter, just keep cool or in shade to keep the butter from separating.

Echo Butthead but I bring the regular shortening you buy in the foil/plastic wrapped "bricks". Hold up to heat. I favor the butter flavored variety for walleyes. MMMMMMMMMM.

I use a 50/50 approx. blend of canola oil and squeeze marjorine. Can be a little tricky if you don't keep your heat controlled. But, tastes great!!  Wink

Many good Ideas, I'll skip the powdered shortening, but I am going for the powdered tomato.  Were going to try some bloodies this year.

I'm with The Beaver on those Crisco 1 cup bricks.  Those things hold up well in the pack over long, abusive times.  I used to bring the liquid in the bottle, but now I bring the bricks only.

Isn't that shortning and squeeze butter just full of transfats and chemicals?  Why not bring a small nalgalene bottle of canola oil - much better for you.

My son Seamsealer and I are going ultra-light this month to Quetico.  We went nuts and bought (get this):  powdered peanut butter, powdered cream, powdered milk, powdered shortening, powdered eggs, and of course powdered milk.  I have finally found a powdered milk that tastes great by the way - it is a Nestle product called NIDO.  You can get all this stuff on line - many times under the survival goods guys.  I have been satisfied.  Of course you can't beat farm fresh Smiley
