 The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Story Of Crisco.
The Crisco Process at the first stage of its development gave, at least, the basis of the ideal fat; namely, a purely vegetable product, differing from all others in that absolutely no animal fat had to be added to the vegetable oil to produce the proper stiffness.
Crisco gives up its heat very quickly to the food submerged in it and a tender, brown crust almost instantly forms, allowing the inside of the potatoes, croquettes, doughnuts, etc., to become baked, rather than soaked.
Crisco has taken the place of butter and lard in a number of hospitals, where purity and digestibility are of vital importance.

 crisco - Peanut Allergy
Many people called and were given the same info-that crisco is now packaging peanut oil on the same lines as their other oils and only the 16oz canola is safe.
If it is only the actual bottling line, then technically, Crisco is correct that they don't have to do an allergen statement because peanut oil is NOT considered an allergen by the FDA (the proteins are supposedly cooked out of the oil in the heating process, yadda...
Still, I think Crisco has a lot more to lose by NOT publishing an allergen warning than they do by trying to hide it: It sends a message that they don't respect food allergies or the intent of labeling laws.
