'''Stove Top''' is a [[stuffing]] that was introduced by [[General Foods]] in 1972 (merging with Kraft in 1990 to form '''Kraft General Foods'''). It is a quick cooking ("instant") stuffing that is available in [[supermarket]]s. 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. In 2005 it was reported that [[Kraft Foods]], which has owned the brand since 1995, sells about 60 million boxes of Stove Top stuffing at [[Thanksgiving]].<ref name="NYT">{{cite web | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/23/national/23siems.html?ex=1133413200&_r=0 | title=Ruth M.

[[Ruth Siems]] was the [[home economics|home economist]] who first created the product.<ref name="NYT"/> Her name was the first listed on United States [[Patent]] 3,870,803 for the product.<ref name="NYT"/> Her patent was based on a certain size of [[bread crumb]] that makes the rehydration, or addition of water, work. In an interview with the ''[[Evansville Courier]]'' in 1991, Siems said the idea for the instant stuffing came from the marketing department, but it was up to the research and development staff to create the product. The test kitchens, the chefs, and all the workers in research and development were given an opportunity to develop the stuffing, but Siems' idea was the one the company chose. |
