Nov 30, 2004 · I always thought Cookeen was exactly the same as lard and my daughter has used it with no problems for cookery at school so I would just use it. "This site is addictive!" Wooligan 2 squares for smoky - 3 squares for HTA Preemie hats - 2 .

Sep 29, 2010 · Thanks (ps good thing my kids are addicted to mince pies or I would be left with a lot of leftover trex/cookeen or pastry :rotfl:) AFAIK. they're both modified vegetable oil. I prefer lard

Jul 18, 2006 · Cookeen is a vegetable version of lard. It's all right for frying with, after a fashion, but I didn't get on very well when baking with it. Maybe there's a trick to using it. Just clip him round the ear 'ole and send him back

Dec 1, 2004 · Isn't Cookeen the vegetarian version of lard - made from plant oils, rather than animal fat? My mum used this or butter for baking. We only used lard for frying. My Lord, I can't bear the thought of a great big slab of fried bread in lard now :-X, yet I thought it was wonderful when I was a child ;D
