Pie dough at Costco

[glowstick]

Has anyone here tried the packaged pie crust from Costco....there's 10 tops and bottoms in a box ...they run around $10 a box?:rrg:

[Frogy]

No, but I'm curious as to whether they are lard or shortening based.

[glowstick]

I would assume,now this is just how I see it, that there would be a price reflection depending on which fat they used...would there not?

I don't think there's a difference in price between lard and shortening, if there is it would be negligible. I've seen them but not tried them yet. Costco has a good return policy, if you buy something and it's awful they'll take it back. I have used the tart shells they sell, some obscure brand, and they're really good.

[glowstick]

Then, it may be worth the venture!

I've found with Costco that if it's around for more than a couple of months it's a safe bet that it's good. They get rid of stuff that doesn't sell well very fast.
