Hi Lynda,
There is just as much transfat in margerine as there is in shortening, sometimes more! Use real food, not candle tallow or industrially manufactured margerine to substitute for Crisco and other shortenings!

I guess it's a bit of both. I always try to make things as healthy as possible, and so I try to stay clear of shortening. I heard that you can replace shortening with margarine, but I've never tried.

If there is something that I can use as a substitution, I'd also have to find out if the amount for the substitution would be the same as the shortening.

As I said before, I have passed up many recipes because they call for shortening, but if I can find something else to use, I'd be happy. As a matter of fact, I have a brownie recipe that I'd love to try, but won't do so unless I can use an ingredient other than the shortening.

Do you want to use something that isn't fat or just not something like lard or Crisco?
