Can vegetable oil be substituted for melted shortening?

In most recipes, melted shortening can be replaced by vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil has a lower melting point than shortening, so it may affect the texture of the final product.

For example, in cookies, using vegetable oil instead of shortening may result in a softer, chewier cookie.

You may also need to adjust the amount of oil you use, as it is a more liquid fat than shortening.

In some cases, you may be able to use less vegetable oil than you would shortening.
