Hi!

Just wondering if anyone has seen or tried the "No Transfat Crisco" that has popped up on the shelves.... has a green label. I haven't been able to try it yet myself... I wonder if it works with icing or if it would cause sugar clumps... or if it even tastes different.

????

bumping.... also adding a link from their website about the product.

never tried it, so bumping you along!

I tried it to bake a poundcake and it really didn't seem to make much of a difference in taste or texture. Not sure if it would make a difference in frosting but I was thrilled to have them come up with the option.

It's the only one that I use and works the same for me.

I did not know that this even existed. I will definently look for this at the grocery store.

we haven't gotten it here yet...is there a price difference?

I can only find it in the small can here in Middle Tennesee .

Didn't know it existed.
I have tried a shortening from the health food store made with Palm oil.
It looks like Crisco but is softer.
My pie crusts taste good but are not as easy to work with.
Maybe as the general public gets educated they will start demanding it more.

I've used it for buttercream recipe and it worked exactly the same for me.

I hadn't heard they were coming out with this but will look for it in our Wal Mart. Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't seen the Crisco brand yet, I have used the Smart Balance brand for the last several months. It bakes and fries just as well as any regular shortening. I used it in the BC and I swear it does not have the greasy feel on the tongue like regular shortening.

I am thrilled to try this stuff! I've gotta find some and than of course I have to wait til I have a kitchen again - about 2 months.

I have tried it and didn't notice a difference in taste or texture. I bought the individual 3 pack sticks at Albertson's and they had it priced half the price as the regular.
