There is a can of "Crisco" in my fridge. Use it to season my cast iron skillets.
It's white. Icon_smile

I even came up with a commercial slogan for "Crisco" (hope they see it and pay me for it):

"Crisco! Another white grease!"

PS. Went to automotive store, bought "Liquid wrench" with While Lithium Grease in it.
Worked like a charm. All squeaks and groans are gone!
Than you guys!
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
