16 Survival Uses For Crisco That You Never Thought Of

Crisco is not just for making the perfect piece crust anymore – at least not if you are a prepper. There are copious amounts of survival uses for this shelf-stable that for far too long has been considered merely a baking staple.

Crystalized cottonseed oil – or Crisco, was invented as a lard substitute in soap making by Procter and Gamble over 100 years ago. It is made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil as well as fibers and fats that are processed into a solid. While cottonseed oil was used when the Crisco recipe was created in 1911, soybean oil and palm oils are typically used in our modern times.

Hydrogenated vegetable oils, fibers, and fats liquify at room temperature and then return to a solid. This process makes the saturated fats much more shelf-stable because unsaturated oils or fats tend to turn rancid extremely easily.

An unopened tub of Crisco is recommended for use up to two years, according to the manufacturer.
