Ruina Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I used my grocery store brand and it was a disaster.sorry to hear that. I also used the store brand & it worked out well. I don't think the store brand are doing that no trans fat thing, so I figured that was safer to use than the new crisco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yea that's why I tried it - cause it was not touting the no trans-fat thing. Oh well. Today I'm soaping Quiet Girl's recipe with the new Crisco - fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I've used the new Crisco and it's fine. I tried Acme brand a couple months ago, and didn't get the 'shine' that I get with Crisco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJae Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 What is the difference between using Crisco and Lard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Finally a question I can answer.Crisco is veggie fat. I believe soybean. Lard is animal fat (pork). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Do they react differently in soap or is one just as good as another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 they are quite different in my mind. Crisco/Vegetable Shortening contributes to a soft, conditioning bar while Lard lends hardness and is less conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
