About Stove Top

Stove Top stuffing was invented in 1972 by a General Foods food scientist who worked out how to make bread cubes rehydrate to the right texture in five minutes. It sells enormously around American Thanksgiving. Kraft Heinz owns it, and a large share of its annual volume moves in the single week before the holiday.
