Shortening's unique properties contribute to the flakiness and tenderness of pie crusts, biscuits, and pastries. Its solid fat content at room temperature creates a desirable texture in baked goods, making it an essential ingredient in the production of cakes, cookies, and various pastry delights.

Moreover, shortening's high smoke point and stability at elevated temperatures make it an ideal choice for frying and deep-frying applications. Shortening imparts a crispy texture to the exterior while maintaining a moist interior, whether it's frying doughnuts, chicken, or other fried delicacies. This use is prevalent in both commercial kitchens and industrial food processing. Shortening is a key component in the confectionery industry, contributing to the smooth and creamy texture of icings, fillings, and ganache.
