Future EssentialsCanned Shortening Powder

I have made biscuits and corn bread muffins and this was a good replacement for butter and or oil in a pinch. I did have to alter the baking soda and or baking powder (1/2 tsp more) in the recipe to ensure a good rise. Mix thoroughly with water and if you are going to use powdered milk; then mix this with it also before adding to dry ingredients!

Got it for emergencies, hopefully it's a good product.

Perfect for use with freeze dried meals CV in jars.

We reconstituted our shortening because it was at it's end of shelf life. Waste not, want not, right? Following the water to powder ratio made a soupy consistency, so I tried thickening the shortening with more shortening powder to no avail. Later I fired up the stove & figured I'd use the shortening to fry up some sweet potatoes. The shortening didn't melt and made a goupy mess like the marshmallowman on Ghost Bisters. I added coconut oil to try to save dinner. The "shortening" sucked up the oil like it was flour in the pan. Ended up throwing it all away. I have no idea what that was & won't be feeding it to my family.Definitely don't recommend.

Add was a tad confusing.

Has Corn Syrup in it. I bought this for my Pantry. I like having Powdered Shortening on hand for when I run out and for making my own mixes. This one has corn syrup in it. I make my own food because I want healthy food. This was a disappointment. It was also very small can. But they had advertised as a large #10 can

Can was dented. Shipped in paper bag. Refund or replace.
