what temperature should solid fats like butter and shortening be stored at?
butter should be stored at
and shortening should be stored at

Explanation:

Butter is a dairy product that can spoil if not stored properly. Refrigerator temperature (usually around \(40^{\circ}F\) or \(4.4^{\circ}C\)) helps slow down bacterial growth and keeps butter fresh for a longer time. Shortening, on the other hand, is more stable due to its hydrogenation process (in the case of traditional shortenings). It can be stored at room temperature as it has a longer shelf - life under normal indoor conditions without significant spoilage or quality degradation.

Answer:

Butter should be stored at refrigerator temperature and shortening should be stored at room temperature.
