Measuring Shortening

[SweetLuci]

 When a recipe calls for both solid shortening and eggs, use the eggs to keep the shortening from sticking to the measuring cup. Break the eggs into a measuring cup, swish them around to coat the inside of the cup, and them transfer them to the mixing bowl. Measure the shortening as usual in the coated cup. Turn the cup over and all the shortening will easily slide out.

wow good tip!  I always use a knife to get the last bits out but this is better except can't do it when making icing :)

 Great idea. I think it would. I'll have to try that, too.
