Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?

I have kitty cookie mix that says to grease the pan with vegetable oil. Do you think they mean Crisco or liquid vegetable oil?Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?
They mean liquid vegetable oil for this purpose. Pour about a teaspoon onto the pan, then spread it with a paper towel. It'll help make it easier to get the kitty cookies out of the pan when they're done.





And if you don't have any liquid vegetable oil... go ahead and spread on Crisco, it's just vegetable oil that's been processed to make it a solid at room temperature.Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?
Crisco is a solidified vegetable oil made by hydrogenating liquid vegetable oil. The oil that pours from a bottle is not processed like that. You could use either since the Crisco will liquefy under heat while you are baking - it is not part of the cookie ingredients, just a nonstick coating on the pan.





If kitty cookies are really intended for cats do they contain things like fish guts or chopped mice that cats would find appealing? I hope you have a separate cookie sheet you use for them to keep the people-cookies on a clean surface.
Use whatever you have available .. vegetable oil (liquid or solid), a spray, like PAM, butter, olive oil .. etc etc .. you are just greasing a pan .. so the food won't stick to it.
Vegetable oil and crisco are 2 different things. Although they are both a vegetable oil so to say... crisco is a vegetable oil product. It contains solids and is not always interchangeable with the oil even if you melt it. For greasing a pan you can really use either or but in cakes etc....if I do use oil I also flour the pan or use a few teaspoons of the mix to dust the pan since I've found that straight liquid oil tends to make items a little crispier than I'd like them to be.
They probably mean crisco but you can use vegetable oil, but use it sparingly.
You can use either one. It's really about what you have on hand. Crisco is a form of shortening I'm not sure if its animal fat like lard or if its from processed vegetables like some oils are.
they mean liquid vegetable oil but you could use crisco but it would changes the flavor
well crisco is like shortning. you know the white stuff that is greasy. they are two totally different things.











luvs
Vegetable oil = liquid oil





Crisco = shortening (although the brand ';Crisco'; also includes liquid oils)
Crisco makes shortening and vegetable oil. Shortening is vegetable oil refined into a very ';silky'; solid texture. If the recipe says vegetable oil use the liquid.





But for cookies I usually spray the pan with Pam or use a Silpat (a silicon baking mat).
I would grease it with crisco. They're not the same. Crisco has a higher melting temperature and will not cook into your food as much as vegetable oil will.
Crisco actually works best.
If you are referring to Crisco the solid shortening kind vs. the liquid in the bottle. It's ok to use the liquid Crisco in this instance because the smoking temperature is higher than for solid shortening.
That is totally unimportant to the recipe...Crisco, or even Margarine, Butter etc. any NON-stick would work fine.
They are pretty much the same thing. I always use crisco when it says to use vegetable oil. You'll be fine with either one.
Crisco is Vegetable Oil, so yes...
I think so
Crisco is a brand name. Crisco makes shortening, cooking oil, and cooking spray. If the recipe says to grease the pan with vegetable oil then that is what you should use. I would use something like a paper towel or a napkin to spread it evenly across the pan.
You can use crisco, margerine, butter or oil. The oil won't cling as thick to the sides of the pan, but should work fine, as cookies are usually high in fat and don't stick to the pan to bad.
