Baking With Hi-Ratio Shortening?

Does anyone bake with Hi-ratio shortening? How about bakeries? If so does anyone have a recipe?

I've never baked with it but have used it in buttercream instead of Crisco.
I baked with Bakemark hi-ratio last week. It worked the same as it does when I use Crisco. For each 14 grams of butter, I use only 12 grams of Crisco or hi-ratio. When I used to measure by volume, I always substituted measure for measure. I dont' make any other adjustments.
That being said, and despite my success, I've heard that you can't use hi-ratio without special recipes. I'm glad I didn't know that, since it worked for me I'll continue to do it.
Also, note that the Crisco can actually says that for each 1 cup of butter you should use 1 cup of Crisco and 2 Tablespoons of water. Is anyone out there doing that?
I use it in one of my buttercream recipes but i've never baked with it.
