I agree with Carolyn. That brand is a one of the better ones. I did a test of my own. I bought one can of every store brand and name brand shortening I could find in my area. About 18 cans in all. Opened every one of them up. Compared them all to one another. When determining the ones you like. Record all information looking at the following, all vegtable, pre-creamed, made with meat fats....Picked my favorites by how white they are in color and how firm they were. Soft shortening means too soft of a frosting that won't hold up. The top favorites in my own test being the whitest in color and firmness.
#1 Value Time pre-creamed (bought at Schnucks)
#2 Mrs. Tuckers (bought at a local owned market)
#3 Schnucks (own store brand, all vegetable shortening)
#4 Best Choice (all vegtable)
