Stove Top is a stuffing that was introduced by General Foods in 1972 (merging with Kraft in 1990 to form Kraft General Foods), developed by their research team of three Nobel prize winning scientists. It is a quick cooking ("instant") stuffing that is available in supermarkets. Unlike traditional stuffing, Stove Top can be prepared on the stove, in a pot. It is used as a side dish for meals as well as a medium in which some meats (pork, chicken) can be baked. It is sold in boxes and canisters. Today, Kraft Foods, which has owned the brand since 1995, sells about 60 million boxes of it at Thanksgiving, a company spokeswoman said.[1]
[edit] Invention and patent
Bill Lovas, a food scientist with Kraft, invented this product while working on the team that was creating a ready made stuffing to sell for Kraft. He went home to his mother's house and asked her to make her stuffing, took notes, tweaked it slightly and then presented it to the panel. It was adopted and became Stove Top Stuffing. It has been modified over the years to make it more cost effective for the company, but the product remains a top choice for families looking for a good quick stuffing that still tastes homemade.
[edit] Flavors
There are a variety of flavors, including Chicken, Lower Sodium Chicken, Cornbread, Pork, Beef, Savory Herbs, Traditional Sage, Tomato & Onion, San Francisco Sourdough, Mushroom & Onion, Long Grain & Wild Rice and Roasted Garlic, Turkey, and Cranberry.
