Why are there no posts about the hi-ratio shortening being taken off the market!! ??  I used to order through CK Products and can no longer get.  I've tried their "cake and icing shortening" and its ok.  Just really really miss hi-ratio.  What is everyone using now and what recipe?

I see now CK is selling 3 shortening products.  Which is best?  They are all called "cake and icing shortening" but one is Palm Oil based, one is Soy bean based, and one has no other description/soon being discontinued.  They also have Sweetex, but it only comes in 50# tub and I've never used so leary to buy that much in case its not what I want.

There has been tons of discussions regarding the h-ratio shortening being taken  off the market.  I still have Sweetex in the freezer which contains trans-fats, but once it is gone, I plan to go back to Crisco.  It worked just fine for many, many years before I ever heard of hi-ration shortening.  That being said, I use mostly butter anyway and only use shortening when needed for stability against heat and humidity.
