Lard, shortening, and other fats?

Posted by seyo, January 26, 2008 at 1:27 PM

In the recent thread about the Cooks Illustrated pie crust recipe, someone noted that they replaced the shortening with lard, to great success. I was wondering if other fats could also be used in lieu of shortening. Could duck fat or goose fat be used for example?

Thanks!
