Lard, shortening, and other fats?

Posted by seyo, January 26, 2008

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!
